BASIC Debugging
A newly entered BASIC program may not always work for the first time.
Even if you are simply keying in a program that you
know is correct, such as those provided in this manual, it is usual to make at least one typing error. If it is a new program of any
length, it will probably contain at least one logic error, as well. Following are some general hints on how to find and correct your
errors.
You run your program and get an error message:
1. Go back to the PROgram mode and use the
CTI
or the
([J

positioned at the place in the line where the PC-3 Computer got confused.
