Confusing Chr$ explanation

[TempodiBasic]

From the WIKI:        the CHR$ function returns the character associated with a certain character code as a STRING
                 and:        Valid ASCII code% numbers range from 0 to 255

So why does this not work:

For a = 129 To 255
Print a; Chr$(a)
Sleep 1: Cls: Next 

    

Hi PhilOfPerth
after all these excellent answers to your question 
I add  my two cents about your code posted:

Code: (Select All)

For a = 129 To 255
    Print a; Chr$(a)
   Sleep 1: Cls:Next  '<--- here there is  your bug
' you wait 1 second or a keypress event and then clearscreen and then you make another cycle od Next loop
' so you get only one row of output for each second... 126 seconds to wait watching each second one character and when
' the program ends you see nothing because the last instruction is CLS

your same code without an unuseful pause (sleep 1) and an unuseful clearscreen (CLS) plus a better output settings (;" " for PRINT statement you get this output




I must remember that some ASCII code are not printable but you can use ControlCHR to print

That's all.

Thanks,  I am glad to see so professional posts.
