Subscripted Variable

Subscripted variables are used to store the values of the same type in an array. It also helps us to store more values in a single variable name. Subscripted variables are declared by giving the variable name along with the subscript.
Example: a(10)
Here a is the variable name and 10 is known as the subscripted value through which we can store 10 values in the variable name a. The 10 values are stored in a(1),a(2),….,a(10). As only one subscript is given for the above variable, the array is called as the single dimensional array.
Program
Given the number 20,13,-14,11,50,16,-17,18,19,2. Store them in the computer memory.
Read a number from the terminal. Verify if this number is present in the above list

when the range of a loop lies within the range of another loop, the first loop is said to be nester in the latter. The loops may be placed as



The loops may also be specified as

Program
Develop a program to calculate the sum

10 REM TO ILLUSTRATE NESTING OF LOOPS
20 PRINT “J”,”SUM”
30 PRINT
40 REM FIRST LOOP STARTS
50 FOR J = 1 TO 5
60 S=0
70 REM SECOND LOOP STARTS
80 FOR K=1 TO 5
90 S = S+K^J
100 NEXT K
110 T=0
120 REM THIRD LOOP STARTS
130 FOR K=1 TO 5
140 T = T+K*J
150 NEXT K
160 Q=S+T
170 PRINT J,Q
180 NEXT J
190 END
Output
J SUM
1 30
2 85
3 270
4 1039
5 4500

Where
test-condition --is relational or Boolean expression whose value may be true or false
S1,S2,… -- are BASIC statements
Each WHILE must have its corresponding DO statement. The action of WHILE –DO statement is as follows.
Execute statement S1, S2, … up to DO ,as long as the test-condition is true. When it becomes false, execute statement following DO. Thus the execution of WHILE-DO statement is completed only when the test-condition becomes false.
Program:
10 REM ACTION OF WHILE –DO STATEMENT
20 LET SUM = 0
30 LET I= 1
40 WHILE I<=10
50 SUM =SUM + I
60 I = I+1
70 DO
80 PRINT “SUM=”;SUM
90 END
