   ADD var, expr [, lower TO upper]

The ADD command can be used to add the result of an expression to a whole number variable. It is the equivalent to make a variable=variable+expression but performs the addition faster. There is a more complex version of ADD, which is ideal for handling certain loops much more quickly than the equivalent separate instructions. When those other parameters are included, ADD v,a,b TO t is the equivalent to the following lines:

v=v+a
IF v<b THEN v=t: ENDIF
IF v>t THEN v=b: ENDIF

  ADD x,42,1 TO 100
  ADD y,10
