Argued all day this could be. STFU n00bz! In reality, integers don't even exsist.

Try this..

Joshy

Code:

CONST MILLISECONDS=10000
DIM AS DOUBLE t,t2
t=TIMER
SLEEP MILLISECONDS,1
t2=TIMER - t
PRINT t2
SLEEP

I'm having trouble getting any of this to work on my computer.

"DIM AS DOUBLE t,t2"
gives me the error "Expected: Shared" highlighting AS


using the sleep command at all gives me the error "Expected: end-of-statement"


Why is this happening?

That code is written for the FreeBASIC compiler. It's like a super advanced version of QB.

If I'm a student in Qbasic should I begin to use freebasic? What are the differences? Will it mess me up when I go back to Qbasic?
