- This program shows how you can
-
- write some really clever programs.
-
- You may be baffled as to how this
-
- works, but you may gain some knowledge
-
- of how your computer works.
-
- The program lines have control
-
- characters imbedded within the
-
- variables. You may know that it is
-
- illegal to use keywords as variable
-
- names. For example, you can't do
-
- this:
-
-
- 10 PRINT = 10 * XP
-
- This is not valid because the computer
-
- sees 'PRINT' as a keyword not a
-
- variable as you intended. By putting
-
- shifted characters into your
-
- variables, you can get some very
-
- strange and illegal looking code.
-
- Just RUN the program and then try
-
- listing it. You will see some things
-
- which look VERY illegal. This is
-
- because of shifted characters inside
-
- of the variables (usually a shifted
-
- space is used).
