Steve, don't forget the semi-colon at the end of line 10. You want it to fill the screen not just print in a column. Heheh Yeah I had an Amiga 1000 too.

10 print “Steve is cool”
20 goto 10

I used to go in to computer stores and run this. :-)

40 k$ = str$(k/abs(a))

So, that is nostalgia for me as well. 10 input "fraction n,k";n,k 20 gosub 100 30 n$ = str$(n/abs(a)) 40 k$ = str$(n/abs(a)) 50 print "proper fraction:" + n$ + "/" + k$ 60 end 100 rem greatest common denominator 110 a = n: b = k 120 if b = 0 then return 130 t = b 140 b = a - b*int(a/b) 150 a = t 160 goto 120 Type in this program and run it. Enter 12,9 and see "proper fraction: 4/ 3" as the result. I started with an Apple ][ on the university, but my first own computer was a Commodore 64. So, that is nostalgia for me as well.

10 input “fraction n,k”;n,k
20 gosub 100
30 n$ = str$(n/abs(a))
40 k$ = str$(n/abs(a))
50 print “proper fraction:” + n$ + “/” + k$
60 end
100 rem greatest common denominator
110 a = n: b = k
120 if b = 0 then return
130 t = b
140 b = a – b*int(a/b)
150 a = t
160 goto 120

Type in this program and run it.

Enter 12,9 and see “proper fraction: 4/ 3″ as the result.

Like you I had both the Vic20 and the C64. Then Amigas. I started on a Trash 80 however. Very cool George, I will have to try that. Like you I had both the Vic20 and the C64. Then Amigas.
