RESTORE label

The RESTORE command is used to reset the data read pointer to the beginning of a list of DATA. Imagine having a cassette tape with numbers on it, and you want to read those numbers one at a time. When you use RESTORE, it's as if you're rewinding the tape to the beginning, ready to read all the numbers again.

When the program encounters this command, the data read pointer is automatically reset to the beginning of the first data list you defined. If you give a parameter, you can set the pointer to the label given.

The RESTORE command is especially useful when you want to reuse a list of data. If you need to read the same data multiple times in your program, you can use RESTORE to reset the pointer to the beginning of the list without having to retype it. If you want to read only part of the data, you can use RESTORE to skip parts of the list and start reading from a specific point. If you want to create loops that read the data, by combining RESTORE with other commands such as READ and DATA, you can create loops that repeatedly read the same data.
