 Syntax 
RIGHT$ source , length )
 
ParametersTypeLegal Value(s)Default ValueNote(s)
sourceString
any (0 to 255 chars)
lengthUnsigned Byte0 to 255   
 
ReturnsTypeValue(s)Note(s)
subStringString
0 to length characters
 
 Purpose 
Return the the right-most character(s) from a source string.
 
 Remarks 
RIGHT$ is one of the three string-splicing functions provided by BASIC (these complement string concatenation with the + operator).  RIGHT$ returns a subString with (up to) length characters from the ending (right side) of the source string.
 
If length specifies more characters than exist in source, the entire source is returned and there is no error.  If length is omitted or not a valid expression, SYNTAX ERROR occurs.  If length is not numeric, TYPE MISMATCH ERROR occurs.  If length is not a legal value (see above) an ILLEGAL QUANTITY ERROR happens.
 
If source is omitted or not a valid expression, SYNTAX ERROR occurs.  If source is not a string, TYPE MISMATCH ERROR occurs; you can use STR$ to convert a number into a string.
 
Examples:
PRINT RIGHT$(100.8, 2)

?TYPE MISMATCH ERROR 
READY.
PRINT RIGHT$("100.8", 2)
.8 

READY.
PRINT RIGHT$("HELLO", 2)
LO

READY.
PRINT RIGHT$("CBM", 16)
CBM

READY.
