When the NEXT is reached, the counter value is incremented by 1 or by an optional STEP value. It is then tested against an end-value to see if it's time to stop the loop. A loop will be stopped when a NEXT is found which has its counter value greater than the end-value.

   10 FOR J=1 TO 5: FOR K=10 TO 20: FOR N=5 TO -5 STEP - 1

   20 NEXT N,K,J            (Stopping Nested Loops)


   10 FOR L=1 TO 100
   20 FOR M=1 TO 10
   30 NEXT M
   400 NEXT L               (Note how the loops do NOT cross each other)


   10 FOR A=1 TO 10
   20 FOR B=1 TO 20
   30 NEXT
   40 NEXT                  (Notice that no variable names are needed)

NOT

Action: The NOT logical operator "complements" the value of each bit in its single operand, producing an integer "twos-complement" result. In other words, the NOT is really saying, "if it isn't. When working with a floating-point number, the operands are converted to integers and any fractions are lost. The NOT operator can also be used in a comparison to reverse the true/false value which was the result of a relationship test and therefore it will reverse the meaning of the comparison. In the first example below, if the "twos-complement" of "AA" is equal to "BB" and if "BB" is NOT equal to "CC" then the expression is true.
