Hi David, here's a few comments.
1) You don't need to use LET anymore, although it will work. LET was used on very old versions of Basic.
2) Your variables SPORT1$ and SPORT2$ are never used. Delete these lines.
3) Your variables PERIMITER1$, AREA1$, PERIMITER2$ and AREA2$ shoulld be numeric vaiables not string variables. You later refer to them as numeric varriables, which is correct.
4) You mention wanting to create a table. Why would you need a table?
5) If you fix the variables, your program will work fine as is.
