21.12.2023 - This Function Destroys Programs: MS-BASIC's VAL() - video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
There's a bug lurking in the VAL() function of most early implementations of Microsoft BASIC that has the power to corrupt your program. We demonstrate it on the Commodore 64 and VIC-20, but it's present on many other 6502-based machines, as well as Z80 and even 6809 computers as discovered by many helpful people on the internets. We then attempt to explain why the bug happens: it's the result of a kind of nasty hack using Microsoft BASIC's evaluation routine combined with the particular edge case when an overflow error occurs.
