  ## ⚠️ Critical Rules — Read First
28
  | Rule | Detail |
29
  |------|--------|
30
+ | Every variable must be introduced with LET exactly once before any use | LET <var> |
31
  | Variables end with `$` | `name$`, `score$`, `x$` |
32
+ | Variables must describe purpose | no x$, tmp$, a$ unless loop index |
33
  | Constants end with `#` | `MAX#`, `PI#`, `TITLE#` |
34
  | Arrays declared with `DIM`, end with `$` | `DIM items$` |
35
  | First use of variable requires `LET` | `LET x$ = 0` — after that `x$ = x$ + 1` |
36
  | FOR and INPUT auto-declare, no LET needed | `FOR i$ = 1 TO 10` |
37
+ | Avoid GOTO | Supported only for historical reasons |
38
  | Functions defined **before** they are called | Put at top or INCLUDE |
39
  | Function name ends with `$`, called with `FN` | `FN MyFunc$(a$, b$)` |
40
  | Function return value **must** be used | `PRINT FN f$()` or `LET v$ = FN f$()` |

+ ### Common AI Mistakes
48
+ - forgetting LET
49
+ - using LET inside subs (wastes computing time, prefer [inits] section)
50
+ - calling function before definition
51
+ - not using return value from FN (if not other chance, use temp$ to get it)
52
+ - passing arrays to functions
53
+ - mixing $ and #
54
+ - using LET on subs or loops
55
+ - forgots to use SCREENLOCK/SCREENUNLOCK
