Variable types

You can take decisions using the type of a variable, it’s useful for debugging.

10 let a = 10
20 if type(a) == "NUMBER" goto 100
30 if type(a) == "STRING" goto 200
40 print 0,0, "Variable a unknown"
50 end
 
100 print 0,0, "variable A is a number"
110 end
 
200 print 0,0 "varibble A is a string"
210 end
