Small Basic - Invalid Variable Names
This Table shows some illegal variable names, along with the reason why each name’s invalid.

If you use an illegal variable name, the Small Basic compiler detects it and reports a syntax error. And then the programming police show up to arrest you! (That last part might just be a rumor.)
