Loading Data into Arrays

[wh5k]

What is the most efficient way to load a bunch of data into arrays? The way I've usually seen in classic BASIC is something like:

 

90 DIM X(4)

100 FOR I = 1 to 4

110 READ X(I)

120 NEXT I

130 DATA 1,2,3,4

 

But the Atari 800 doesn't seem to like that...

From what I recall, you'd have to write:

110 READ J: X(I)=J

Remember that Atari BASIC arrays start at 0, not 1.

Remember that Atari BASIC arrays start at 0, not 1.

Thank you!

 

I don't know how I could manage to forget something like that. From what I recall, isn't really old time Microsoft BASIC weird that it doesn't start at 0? I know that by QBASIC and later in Visual Basic they started them at zero.
