VAL$

You will recall that at the NOV. meeting there was a discussion on the use of VAL$. Robert Ryan actively entered into the discussion, and offers this further demonstration. This program is a short demonstration of one use for VAL$.

RUN the program and see on the display what each function does. You can use this to print both your formula and its number value from a string variable. Succinctly put, VAL$ gives you the string that VAL evaluates, the right-hand side of the equation for A$, by returning some steps earlier.
