Other programming languages • Re: Introduction to BBC BASIC

I have updated the BBC BASIC Console Mode editions (BBCTTY) to version 0.48: The main changes in this version are:

1. Support for array slicing has been added, using the syntax array(first TO last) or array(row, first TO last).
   
   
2. Compound assignment and array arithmetic can now both use the exponentiation operator ^.
   
   
3. In the default *HEX32 mode, PRINT~ and STR$~ report an error if the value cannot be expressed as 32-bit hex.
   
   
4. Added median.bbc as a demonstration of array slicing (it implements the Quickselect algorithm).

The new version can be downloaded from the usual place (including for the Raspberry Pi Pico).
