Overview

Why It's Different

Two Ways to Code

Immediate Mode (No Line Numbers)

Type and run instantly:

api.print("Hello!");
for(let i=0; i<5; i++) api.print(i);

Program Mode (With Line Numbers)

Store and save:

10 api.print("Hello!");
20 for(let i=0; i<5; i++) api.print(i);
run
save myprogram
