The lookup table is interesting. I wonder why pretty much no 1980s home computer BASICs included bitwise operations?
They did. AND, OR and NOT were bitwise operations as well as conditional operators. E.g. POKE 254, PEEK(254) AND 127 would turn off bit 7 of memory location 254 without affecting other bits.

In which BASIC?

Gun nut is fine. One can be a gun nut without supporting the awful ideas/people within that domain. It's the support of awful ideas/people in that domain them that make him "controversial" (a.k.a. anti-social asshole, that insist being an anti-social asshole is simply a personality trait, immune to criticism)
Nah these days you pick a team and cancel the other.

All the Commodore BASICs, Applesoft, GW-BASIC, QBASIC from what I remember. Very certain about the Commodore BASICs.
Apple IIs weren't really a thing over here although the very first home computer I ever used was an Apple II belonging to a friend of my mother's - Tony van der Kuyl, father of video games magnate Chris van der Kuyl ;-)

I also live in my mom's basement and write currency libraries.
>currency libraries Are there some hidden depths to formatting/converting that I'm missing? And yes. I know not to use floats
