Word

Word is not actually a command. It's a keyword used to declare an item as being Word data type. Namely used with Types FACTS:       * Word values are 16bit and have a numeric range of 0 to 65535       * Word can only be used with Pointers & Type Fields in PlayBASIC V1.64 and bellow, there is no support for Word sized variables at this time. Mini Tutorial:       This example shows some valid usages of Word today.    ; Declare a Word Pointer (a pointer to read/write Word values)   Dim MyPointer As Word Pointer    ; Create a bank   CreateBank 1,100    ; Get the address of this bank and store it in MyPointer   MyPointer=GetBankPtr(1)    ; Use this pointer to write some word values to a bank   For lp=0 To 10      *MyPointer=30000+lp      MyPointer=MyPointer+1   Next    ; Get the address of this bank and store it in MyPointer again   MyPointer=GetBankPtr(1)    ; Use this pointer to read the values back   For lp=0 To 10      Print *(MyPointer+lp)   Next    ; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key   Sync   WaitKey             This example would output.      30000   30001   30002   30003   30004   30005   30006   30007   30008   30009   30010
