BASIC-SO
The following program asks for a divisor
and
a dividend, and uses the error-
trapping routine in lines
60-90 to prevent division by zero (which has code 11) from
stopping the execution:

ON ERROR GOTO
60

INPUT
"WHAT

30
Z =
X/Y

FRE
The
FRE
function returns the number
of
bytes
of
memory left when the dummy

returns the number
of
free bytes in string storage space.
