READ

READ var1 [, var2, …, varN]

Assigns values in DATA items to the specified variables var1 to varN. Unless a RESTORE command is executed, SmallBASIC moves to the next DATA item with each READ assignment. If SmallBASIC runs out of DATA items to read, an run-time error occurs.

See DATA and RESTORE for more information.

Example 1: READ with one variable

FOR c = 1 TO 6
   READ x
   PRINT x
NEXT

DATA "a,b,c", 2
DATA 3, 4
DATA "fifth", 6

Example 2: READ with two variables

FOR c = 1 TO 3
   READ x, y
   PRINT x, y
NEXT

DATA "a,b,c", 2
DATA 3, 4
DATA "fifth", 6
