Hi, New to this and just wanted to know how to add a question into yabasic
please see example.

Code: [Select]

Print "welcome user"
sleep (5)
print "what is your name"
input a
if a=james
goto 1
//what goes here? to stop it if its wrong ?

When you say question do you mean using the input command or using if then else statements? Maybe this example will clear things up a little

Code: [Select]

rem this is a string input
print "Hello my name is yabasic"
input "What is your name?" Name$
print "Hello " + Name$ + " nice to meet you"

rem this is a numeric input
print "So " + Name$ + " can you answer this question for me"
print "I have 3 apples and I share 1 of my apples with you"
input "How many apples do I have left?" NumApples

if (NumApples = 2) then
    print "Correct " + Name$ + " I have exactly 2 apples left."
elsif (NumApples < 2) then
    print "No " + Name$ + " I have 2 apples left."
elsif (NumApples > 2) then
    print "No " + Name$ + " I have 2 apples left."
else
    print "No " + Name$ + " I have 2 apples left."
endif

If James's example is literally correct,
it's something I've wanted to know.
How do you match letters?
If any name is inputted, it will go to 1.

All I've come up with is reverting to chr$

Code: [Select]

'right answer is VANCE
Print "welcome user"
pause 1
label again
print "what is your name"
input a$
if a$=chr$(86)+chr$(65)+chr$(78)+chr$(67)+chr$(69) print "right"
if a$<>chr$(86)+chr$(65)+chr$(78)+chr$(67)+chr$(69) goto again
print
print chr$(86);
print chr$(65);
print chr$(78);
print chr$(67);
print chr$(69)
