Type Mismatch ?

[Janesh]

The following code shows a Type MismatchError!
Help!!!!!!!


INPUT "Choose The City Your Going From"; F$
IF F$ = 1 THEN LET F$ = AMD
IF F$ = 2 THEN LET F$ = BAN
IF F$ = 3 THEN LET F$ = CHE
IF F$ = 4 THEN LET F$ = COC

put the AMD And other three letter abbreviations in quotes: "AMD"

f$ is a string variable and 1 is an integer. You can't store an integer in a string variable.
If I understand you right, you want F$ to get the value of other strings (AMD; BAN; CHE; COC).

Do it like this:

Code:

INPUT "Choose The City Your Going From"; F$
IF F$ = "1" THEN LET F$ = AMD$
IF F$ = "2" THEN LET F$ = BAN$
IF F$ = "3" THEN LET F$ = CHE$
IF F$ = "4" THEN LET F$ = COC$

But there is a better way. If you compare one variable several times you can use this:

Code:

INPUT "Choose The City Your Going From"; F$
SELECT CASE F$
CASE "1": F$ = AMD$
CASE "2": F$ = BAN$
CASE "3": F$ = CHE$
CASE "4": F$ = COC$
END SELECT

As you see I don't use the command LET, because it is useless and only used for compatibility to older compilers of BASIC

damn, missed out on another slave... should have read the question more carefully.
