@DewiMorgan 1 RUN also works in Sinclair BASIC for 6 bytes (2 bytes line number + 2 bytes line length + 1 byte for RUN token + 1 byte for newline).

In QBasic 4.5, just using RUN (without the line numbers) works just as well, so 3 bytes?

@davidjwest Shortest I can do in Sinclair BASIC is: 1 GOTO SIGNUM PI - since constant ints are stored in memory twice, as shorts, so 1 would be 4 bytes, but SIGNUM and PI both use only one byte each. Ah, the old coding tricks we used to use :D Not sure how much memory line numbers take up, if any, so all I can say is it's 3+(line number storage) bytes.

| Oct 8, 2015 at 15:23 | comment | added | davidjwest | Using Sinclair basic this would use less bytes as the commands RUN and GO TO are both 1 byte en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_BASIC | |
| Oct 7, 2015 at 12:32 | comment | added | LeFauve | In C64's basic, you could write this as 1rU (3 bytes) | |
