At the end of the last video, I mentioned wanting to be able to print a string to the LCD using a single BASIC instruction. That required figuring out how to extract a string (or other expression). Not knowing much about the way BASIC worked under the hood, I looked at the PRINT instruction to see how it works and figured things out from there. This video walks through what I learned.VideoOct 30, 2024Public 0 14
