    Smile variable declaration...?

    What is the difference between the declaration Dim MyString$ to Dim MyString? I don’t know what the character “&” does when the program runs if it is appended with a variable. please help...

    Yup

    $ = String
    & = Long
    % = Integer
    # = Double

    And it's preferable you don't use the "Old Skool" method.

    Many versions 3rd party version of BASIC use it though, so it's good to know...
