BASIC-DOS BASIC Commands

GOTO

The GOTO statement transfers control to another line:

GOTO line

where line is a line number within the current program.

Example:

5 DATA 5, 7, 12  
10 READ R  
20 PRINT "R ="; R,  
30 LET A = 3.14 * R^2  
40 PRINT "AREA ="; A  
50 GOTO 5  
RUN  
R = 5          AREA = 78.5  
R = 7          AREA = 153.86  
R = 12         AREA = 452.16  
Out of data in 10

Differences from Microsoft BASIC

BASIC-DOS does not require all lines within a program to begin with a line number. Only those lines that are the target of a GOTO statement must be numbered.
