····· ··· ····· ········· ··The two programs above produce exactly
the same result.
The following are examples of incorrect use of the LET statement.
2 0 A$ = A+ 8
·· ···· Invalid because different types of variables (string and
numeric) are specified on either sides of the "=" sign.
2 0 LOG C L K) =L K+ 1
···· ··Invalid because the left side of the statement
is not an numeric variable or array element.
