I am trying to make a program that detects how many times the user has pressed enter until the timer goes up

(it's not going as planned)

here goes

Code: [Select]

10->V
startTmr->
0->B
checkTmr(A)->X
Lbl 88
If V>=X>=0
Then
0->T
Lbl87
getKey->T
If T=105
Then
B+1->B
If checkTmr(A)>V
Then
goto 88
End
ClrHome
End
If T =/= 105
Then
Goto 87
End
Lbl 89
Disp "Coins Earned:",B

I made some edits to the post for you to move the code into a code block, you can do that with code tags [code] *code here* [/code]The edit button can show you what I mean!
I will take a look at the code some more later but nice to have you on the forum! Maybe someone will get to this before me tho

We talked on IRC earlier about you possible using IF Then blocks wrong. Have you looked into this yet?

There are a lot of issues with the code. An example is that If ... Then need and End
Here is how I would code it:

Code: [Select]

0→C          ;This is our counter
startTmr→T
While checkTmr(T)<10
If getKey=105
C+1→C        ;Since our IF block is only 1 line of code, we don't need a Then... End
End          ;for the While loop
Disp "PRESSED ENTER",C,"TIMES"

Since the If statement only had one line of code, it doesn't need a Then... End

The optimized version looks like:

Code: [Select]

startTmr→T
0
While 10>checkTmr(T
Ans+(getKey=105    ;In BASIC a TRUE statement returns 1, a FALSE statement returns 0. So this adds 1 to Ans when getKey=105
End
Disp "PRESSED ENTER",Ans,"TIMES"

EDIT: Fixed a copy-paste typo, added some comments, fixed title
