==== <code><big>INT (n<numeric expression>)</big></code> ====
: ''BASIC 1.0 & 1.1''
: '''FUNCTION''': Rounds the number to the nearest smaller INTeger, removing any fractional part. Returns then same value as FIX for positive number, but returns one less than FIX for negative numbers which are not already integers.
3 -4
</pre>
==== <code><big>JOY (i<integer expression>)</big></code> ====: ''BASIC 1.0 & 1.1'': Returns '''FUNCTION''': The JOY function reads a bit-significant value result from specified the joystick. i = in the <integer expression> (either 0 or 1).

==== <code><big>LEFT$ (<string expression>, <required length>)</big></code> ====
: ''BASIC 1.0 & 1.1''
: FUNCTION: Returns the number of characters (in the range 0 to 255) specified in the <required length> parameter (<integer expression>), after extracting them from the LEFT of the <string expression>. If the <string expression> is shorter than the <required length>, the whole <string expression> is returned.
: '''1. Example''':
<pre>
A$="ABCDEFG":PRINT LEFT$(A$,3) - prints ABC
</pre>
: '''2. Example''':
<pre>
10 CLS
20 a$="AMSTRAD"
30 FOR n=1 to 7
40 PRINT LEFT$(a$,n)
50 NEXT

==== <code><big>LEN (<string expression>)</big></code> ====
: ''BASIC 1.0 & 1.1''
: '''FUNCTION''': Returns the total number of characters (i.e. the LENgth) of the <string expression>.
: '''Example''':
<pre>
10 LINE INPUT "Enter a phrase";a$
20 PRINT "The phrase is";
30 PRINT LEN(a$);"characters long."
