Chapter 5 Writing a short BASIC-52 program involves these steps: Define what you want to do Write program lines to accomplish it Test the results As necessary, revise and retest Longer programs involve the same basic steps, except that you can divide the program into a series of smaller tasks, or modules, and program and test each individually. Then, when the modules are working, you can combine them in one big program and test the result. Modular programming can save a lot of headaches by limiting the amount of untested program code you have to work with at one time. A long, untested program almost certainly contains many errors will be hard to find and fix. It’s much easier in the long run to test the pieces first, and BASIC-52 makes this easy to do. Command and Run Modes BASIC-52 has two modes of operation: command and run. Command mode refers to anything you type without a line number. BASIC-52 executes these lines immediately after you press ENTER. Run mode refers to running stored programs with the RUN command. A program consists of a series of program lines, with each line beginning with a line number. BASIC-52 includes some keywords that you can use only in command mode, but not in programs. PROG is an example. Most of BASIC-52’s other keywords are usable in either command or run mode. A few, such as DO...WHILE, are usable in RUN mode only. Tips for Writing BASIC-52 Programs The following advice is intended to make your programs easier to write and debug, and to help you avoid some common mistakes: • Number program lines by 10s. Each line in a BASIC-52 program must begin with a line number. BASIC-52 uses the numbers to order the statements. Traditionally, BASIC programs begin at line 10, and count up in multiples of 10: 20, 30, and so on. This way, if you later discover that you need to add a few lines in the middle, you can, using the unused numbers that remain. • Divide long programs into modules. Break up big projects. Use subroutines for independent functions. A subroutine is a block of statements that the main program jumps to with a GOSUB statement. At the end of the subroutine, a RETURN statement causes the program to jump back to the program line following the GOSUB statement. 66 The Microcontroller Idea Book
Subroutines have two advantages. First, they help you to break up your program code into discrete units, with each having a specific purpose. This makes the program code easier to debug and easier to understand in general, especially if you return to it a week, month, or year after writing it when the details are no longer fresh in your mind. Second, subroutines make it easier to reuse your code if you have a similar task in another project. For example, all or most of the code involved with controlling a display module can usually be written as a subroutine, or perhaps a series of subroutines. This way, if you want to use the same display module in more than one project, you can reuse the code without having to pick through your previous programs to find the program lines that you need. • Keep program lines short. Short lines are easier to edit with BASIC-52’s line editor, which requires retyping the entire line to make a change. They’re also easier to read. If you upload programs from disk, shorter lines can eliminate problems caused by BASIC-52’s not having enough time to process each line before the next one arrives. Although BASIC-52 allows you to place multiple statements on one line, with up to 79 characters per line, shorter is better. There are two situations where you might want to combine a series of short lines into fewer, longer program lines: when the program has to execute as fast as possible, or when you need to store the program in the smallest possible space. Even then, though, you can develop the program with short lines, and combine them only after the program is debugged and ready for permanent storage. • Check syntax and spelling carefully. BASIC-52’s syntax consists of the rules of grammar and punctuation that your program lines must follow. For example, a FOR loop must include a variable, limits, and a NEXT instruction. Leave any of these out, and your loop won’t work. There’s no room for spelling errors either. BASIC-52 doesn’t know that you meant LIST when you typed LSIT. • Document your programs. Many of BASIC-52’s keywords aren’t too hard to decipher. For example, it makes sense that the STOP instruction halts program execution. But your own comments throughout the program can help you remember why you wrote each program line, and what it’s supposed to accomplish. BASIC-52 allows you to add comments, preceded by REM (remark). Try to write comments that do more than just define the keywords in the line. Also explain the purpose behind what you are doing. For example, this comment 10 REM read value from external memory 20 A=XBY(0FE00H) Programming does nothing more than define the BASIC-52 instruction that follows.
