DECLARE NUMERIC ☆
DECLARE NUMERIC
declares numeric variables.
Example.
`DECLARE NUMERIC A,B,M(10)`
declares simple variables A and B, and a 1-dimensional array M.
The way how to declare arrays is same as DIM statements.
Example.
1-dimensional arrays `A(10), B(2 TO 7)`
2-dimensional arrays `C(10,10), D(0 TO 2, 0 TO 5)`
3-dimensional arrays `E(4,4,2), F(3,3,2 TO 3)`
Note that bounds of indices must be constants in the declaration.
DECLARE statements are declarative statements, which are not objects of the control.
When Option menu- Syntax - "Compel All Variables Declared" is checked, if a non-declared variable is found, compiling stops. This is useful to avid a bug caused by a typo.
