Question

DATA. How does it work?

I feel like I'm missing out on a big chunk of BASIC without knowing how to use DATA. So tell me what is it used for and how.

    DATA is used whan you have big amounts of data to store, in a linear way. first, place a goto label: @ANYTHING then you place DATA statements DATA 34, "Thomas", "Cake" DATA can have any amount of variables in one command then, to retrieve the data:

    use RESTORE @ANYTHING then just a simple command to retrieve the data READ AGE, NAME$, FOOD$ when you use this with multiple DATAs, the read command automatically goes one data forward

    so, if you want to store a map made out of tiles with IDs, use this code: DIM M(4,4) @MAP DATA 1,2,2,3 DATA 2,2,3,3 DATA 1,1,2,3 DATA 1,1,1,2 then RESTORE @MAP FOR I=0 TO 3 READ M(0,I), M(1,I), M(2,I), M(3,I) NEXT now you have converted the DATA block into an array

    I'm a bit confused, but that helped ALOT. And you what they say don't learn to code, code to learn.
