  • Originally coded for a Sharp PC-1251. Basically my "Hello World" in every programming language I try:

    10: INPUT "GEWICHT IN KG" , M
    20: INPUT "GROESSE IN M" ,L
    30: B=M/L^2
    40: PRINT "BMI = ";B
    

    I ported this to LF-BASIC https://github.com/LiquidFox1776/LF-BASIC, a BASIC-interpreter written in Python:

    10 LET M=0
    20 LET L=0
    30 LET B=0
    40 INPUT "GEWICHT IN KG "; M
    50 INPUT "GROESSE IN CM "; L
    60 LET L=L/100
    70 LET B=M/L^2
    80 PRINT "BMI = "; B
    

    Then I started using PDP-8-Emulation and TSS-8:

    10 LET M=0
    20 LET L=0
    30 LET B=0
    35 PRINT "WEIGHT IN KG.G:"
    40 INPUT M
    45 PRINT "HEIGHT IN CM:"
    50 INPUT L
    60 LET L=L/100
    70 LET B=M/L^2
    75 PRINT "YOUR BMI IS:"
    80 PRINT B
    90 END
    
  • RapidQ integer rounding was totally broken, so I wrote this...

    
    ABSVal# = ABS(Value#): SGNVal& = SGN(Value#)
    	FIXVal& = FIX(ABSVal#): FRACVal# = FRAC(ABSVal#)
    	AddVal& = (((FRACVal# = .5) AND FIXVal&) OR (FRACVal# > .5)) AND 1
    	FIXVal& += AddVal&: IF SGNVal& = -1 THEN FIXVal& = -FIXVal&
    	RQRoundFix = FIXVal&
    END FUNCTION```
  • 1  REM TEST YOUR INPUT AND THEN
    10 PRINT "DO YOU EAT YOUR BOUGHS??"
    20 INPUT X
    30 IF X="YES" THEN PRINT "YOU PIG!.": END
    40 IF X="NO" THEN PRINT "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO TRY?"
    50 END
