Identifiers

Identifiers are arbitrary names of any length given to variables, user-defined constants, labels and subroutines.

 

Identifiers can contain the letters a to z and A to Z, underscore character “_”, and digits from 0 to 9. The only restriction is that the first character must be a letter or an underscore.

 

 

Case Sensitivity

mIoTa BASIC is not case sensitive, so Sum, sum, and suM are equivalent identifiers.

 

 

Uniqueness

Although identifier names are arbitrary, if the same name is used for more than one identifier or is identical to one of mIoTa BASICS commands, then an error will arise.

 

 

Here are some examples of valid identifiers:

 

temp_1

Pressure

dat2string

W3

_vtext
