# Programming Tips

Here are a few of my favorite RAM saving substitutes for you to ponder:

| Instead of | Try using |
| --- | --- |
| PRINT #0 | PRINT #RND |
| GOTO 3 | GOTO PI |
| PRINT #1; | PRINT #RND; |
| GOTO 6 | GOTO PI+PI |
| 0 | NOT PI |
| GOTO 10 | GOTO PI*PI |
| 1 | SGN PI |
| GOTO 8000 | GOTO VAL “8e3” |
| 100 | CODE “d” |
| INK 3 | INK INT PI |
| POKE 23658,0 | POKE VAL “23658”,NOT PI |
