IF x=y THEN (carry out an operation)

Where x and y are either constants, program variables or strings, and "Carry out an operation" is a line of code exactly as you might put on its own.

For example

IF Score=10 THEN PRINT "You win!"

IF answer="No" THEN GOTO 200

Thanks for the help, and do you know the answer to the randomizing?

I could have told you about the if and the then, but idk about the randomising. Did you try set variable to random 1-10?

It depends on teh version of Basic.

In the versions I know, RND or RAND will generate a random number between 0 and 0.999999 to several decimal places.

So to get a random number from 1-6, for example, there are 4 steps

1) Generate the random number using RND
2) Multiply it by the largest number (eg, 6) to get a random number from 0-5.9999
3) Round this down using the INT command, to give a whole number from 0-5
4) Add 1, to make it a number from 1-6

Fortunately, all of that can be done as one line.  If I remember correctly it would something like:

INT (RND*6)+1

I believe I mentioned it's Just BASIC.    Anyway, that always returns as one.

Go to justbasic.com whatever program you download there. But my dad figured it out.

It sounds like it is treating RND as a variable with value of zero.  Try using RND(0) so that it knows you are looking for a function result.  You can also check the documentation here

Thanks for the help, but after further "research" I have figured it out, for 1-10 use RND((1)*10)10, or somehting like that, but it's included in the help so . . .
