tcbasic - a small BASIC Interpreter written in C

tcbasic [filename]

tcbasic implements a small subset of BASIC in portable C. If the user specifies a filename on the command line or pipes data to tcbasic, the results will be written to standard out. If no file is specified, an interactive mode is started where a user can interact with the BASIC system directly.

-h, -? --help
Print a helpful message and exit
-v --version
Print version information and exit

REM remark
Remark has no effect on the execution of the program and acts as a comment to the developer. The remark can contain any character.
PRINT list
Prints the contents of 'list' to the console where 'list' is a comma separated list of one or more quoted strings, expressions, and/or variables.
IF expression relop expression THEN statement
Evaluates both 'expression's and compares them using relational operator 'relop'. If the relation is true, then the statement will be executed. Otherwise, the statement is skipped.
GOTO expression
Evaluates 'expression' and jumps to the corresponding line number.
INPUT var_list
Given a comma separated list of 1 or more variables, this command will prompt the user to enter a comma separated list of expressions. The value of each expression will be assigned to each corresponding variable.
GOSUB expression
Evaluates 'expression' and jumps to the corresponding line number after saving the current line number.
RETURN
Returns control to the line after the last 'GOSUB' call.
LET var = expression
Assigns the value of expression to variable 'var' where 'var' is a single character variable name in the range from A to Z.
END
Ends the execution of the program.
STOP
Exits the interpreter.
RANDOMIZE
Re-seeds the random number generator, causing RND to return a different sequence of random numbers.

RND
Returns a random number in the range [0,1). The same sequence of numbers is returned in each program run. Use the RANDOMIZE statement to generate different sequences in each program run.
TIME
Returns the number of seconds since midnight.
SIN (expression)
Returns the sine of the given expression (measured in radians).
COS (expression)
Returns the cosine of the given expression (measured in radians).
TAN (expression)
Returns the tangent of the given expression (measured in radians).
COT (expression)
Returns the cotangent of the given expression (measured in radians).
ATN (expression)
Returns the arctangent of the given expression (measured in radians).
EXP (expression)
Returns e to the power of the given expression.
LOG (expression)
Returns the natural logarithm of of the given expression.
ABS (expression)
Returns the absolute value of the given expression.
SGN (expression)
Returns the sign of the given expression. 1, 0, or -1 for positive, zero, or negative.
SQR (expression)
Returns the square root of the given expression.

CLEAR
Clears the program from memory and sets all variables to 0.
LIST
Prints the current program.
RENUM
Renumber lines in memory.
RUN
Executes the current program.

Turns off debug tracing.
TRON
Turns on debug tracing.
