Question

Write four rules for naming variables in BASIC

Answer 1

Follow these rules when naming variables:

A variable name must be of the form $name or ${name}

The string name can consist of letters (a-z and A-Z), numbers (-9), and underscore characters (_)

The first character of name must be an alphabetic character (a-z or A-Z)

If the ${name} form is used, spaces can also appear in name. This allows you to use multiple word names without the underscore character.
