Turbo Basic

VARSEG functionFunctionSyntaxRemarksSee AlsoExampleVARSEG returns the segment address of a variable.y = VARSEG(variable)variable is any numeric or string variable or element of an array.Because of Turbo Basic's expanded memory model. VARSEG isrequired along with VARPTR to fully define the address of avariable.VARSEG returns a numeric value in the range 0 to 65,535. UseVARSEG in conjunction with VARPTR to get the address of a variable,so that a CALL can tell an assembly language routine wherethe argument it should process is located in memory.Turbo Basic programs put all nonarray variables in a single segmentthat can be up t064K in length. Therefore, using VARSEG onall the nonarray variables in a given program always returns thesame value. In fact, this segment value is the default for statementsthat rely on DEF SEC (for example, PEEK, POKE).VARPTR, B% = 55DEF SEG = VARSEG(B%)Address% = VARPTR(B%)PRINT PEEK(Address%)END 'end the program370Turbo Basic Owner's Handbook
