ON TYPE: Statement Action: The ON statement is used to GOTO one of several given line-numbers, depending upon the value of a variable. The value of the variables can range from zero through the number of lines given. if the value is a non-integer, the fractional portion is left off. For example, if the variable value is 3, ON will GOTO the third line-number in the list. If the value of the variable is negative, the BASIC error message ?ILLEGAL QUANTITY occurs. If the number is zero, or greater than the number of items in the list, the program just "ignores" the statement and continues with the statement following the ON statement. ON is really an underused variant of the IF...THEN...statement. Instead of using a whole lot of IF statements each of which sends the program to 1 specific line, 1 ON statement can replace a list of IF statements. When you look at the first example you should notice that the 1 ON statement replaces 4 IF...THEN... statements. EXAMPLES of ON Statement:
