Figure 13·7. Sketch of a graphic design.
In Figure 13-7, the dots correspond to the pin numbers shown on the
side of the figure. The number for each pin pattern is shown at the
bottom of each column.
Once the numbers for the pin patterns are calculated, they can be
stored in DATA statements. Items in a DATA statement are separated
by commas. These items are read from the DATA statement into vari-
ables with a READ statement. Add these lines to your program:
5~
READ N
9~
DATA 3,7,31,63,126,124,112,96,92,66,33,25,5,3
Line 50 reads the first data number into the variable N. To read the rest
of the numbers, line 50 must be executed in a loop. Make these
changes to the program:
