Effect

Returns the value read from a byte of the memory (RAM).

Syntax

PEEK(<Address>)

Parameter

<Address> must be in the range -32768 to 65535. It's a decimal number in single precision, but you can also specify an address in hexadecimal form.

If <Address> is negative the binary complement is used. This means PEEK(-1)=PEEK(65536-1)=PEEK(65535).

20 PRINT PEEK(60000!)
 
RUN
