I found that the tolerance is another unique feature of Small Basic .  I wrote little bit about this topic in a forum thread Did you find any trivia about Small Basic?



  • Not need closing quote for string at line end

  • Comma is not needed between parameters of operations

  • Sometimes no need to initialize variables (especially arrays)

  • Keywords, variable/subroutine/label names, color names, logical value and indices of arrays are case insensitive

  • Dividing by 0 becomes 0

  • / is allowed instead of \ in file path

  • String is treated as 0 in comparison expression

  • Logical values other than "True" are treated as "False"


How do you feel?  If you know other points about tolerance of Small Basic, please let me know.  Thanks.
