LINE INPUT will now use the faster method if passed a file handle that has been opened FOR BINARY. As such, the _BLINEINPUT command has been removed. qb64.bas now takes advantage of this for reading from '$include files, at least in Include Manager 1. Some tweaking of internal/source/main.txt was required to get things into a sane state, so I'm holing off changing the compiler any further so the auto-builder can make sure everything's smoothed over. Note: Everything should still compile as normal; I'm just being overcautious.

The ''CLEAR''' statement clears all variable and array element values in a program. It does not affect constant values!
|
|
|
|
|
|
''Syntax:'' CLEAR [, ''stacksize&'' , ''stackspace&'']
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* Optional ''stacksize'' parameter was not required as Qbasic managed that. '''All three parameters are ignored by QB64!'''
|
|
* The ''stackspace'' parameter sets the stack space to be added to the stack. Two commas kept Qbasic compatible with BASICA.
|
|
* Normally used to clear all program variable and [[Arrays|array]] values where numerical values become zero and string values become null.
|
|
* It does not clear [[CONST|constant]] values.
|
|
* Closes all opened files also.
|
|
* [[$DYNAMIC]] arrays will need to be [[REDIM|re-dimensioned]] or an [[ERROR Codes|error]] will occur when referenced because the array is removed.
|
|
|

|
|
''Example:'' Using CLEAR to clear array elements.
|
|
{{CodeStart}} '' ''
|
|
{{Cl|CLS}}
|
|
{{Cl|DIM}} array(10) 'create a {{Cl|$STATIC}} array
|
|
array(5) = 23
|
|
|
|
{{Cl|PRINT}} array(5)
|
|
|
|
{{Cl|CLEAR}}
|
|
|
|
{{Cl|PRINT}} array(5) '' ''
|
|
{{CodeEnd}}
|
|
:''Note:'' If you change DIM to REDIM a "Subscript out of range" error will occur because a [[$DYNAMIC]] array is removed by CLEAR.
