AUTO

The AUTO command allows you to generate an increment line number automatically.

• You can see the next line number each time you press the Enter key.
• AUTO is terminated by pressing CTRL+C or CTRL+BREAK. BASIC will then return to the command level.

Syntax :

AUTO [line number] [, [increment]

Where,

line number : starting line number.

increment : increment to the next line number.

• AUTO begins numbering at line number and increments each subsequent line number by increment
• When the line number and increment are not mentioned, the default for both values is 10 (i.e. both line number and increment values is 10)
