Help!
I wrote a QBasic program (.bas) that runs fine inside the QBasic 4.5 interpreter but fails to compile (.exe).
One (1) severe error is given indicating "expression too complex ??? I have tried al sorts of modifications using subroutines and rewriting expressions but problem could not be fixed so far.
Looking for some QuickBasic expertise from self proclamed experts!

Severe Error: Expression too complex!

Re: Severe Error: Expression too complex!
I think this is what I get also on my SearchFile% function.
It's stopping the compiler build an exe, but it runs fine.

Re: Severe Error: Expression too complex!
See if you can perform the computation in stages. Use some intermediate variables. A few little chunks are more managable than one huge chunk.
For instance a+b* 123-SQR(72+4^a)*LOG(b)*(23^a ----1)
could be split up as follows:
temp1 = (72+4^a)
temp2 = (23^a ----1)
temp3 = SQR(temp1)*LOG(b)*temp2
answer = a + b*123 - temp3
And there you have it. Same answer. Just pay attention to order of operations.
