My BASIC Notes

VAL()
Abbreviation: V <SHIFT+A>

TYPE: Numeric Function
FORMAT: VAL (<string>)

Action: Returns a numeric VALue representing the data in the <string> argument. If the first non-blank character of the string is not a plus sign (+), minus sign (-), or a digit the VALue returned is zero. String conversion is finished when the end of the string or any non-digit character is found (except decimal point or exponential e).

EXAMPLE of VAL Function:

10 INPUT#1, NAM$, ZIP$
20 IF VAL(ZIP$) < 19400 OR VAL(ZIP$) > 96699 THEN PRINT NAM$ TAB(25) "GREATER PHILADELPHIA"
