BASIC Programming
Basic is a good high level language and is very easy to understand. BASIC is a good starting place though it is not so powerful. It is an interpreted language. If you want a neat programming structure and high outputs, BASIC is just for you. You may download QBASIC from Microsoft, a good BASIC compiler. QBASIC 4.5 has a compiler also. A compiler converts your BASIC program into an executable (.exe) file.
The full form of BASIC Is Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
You can create commercial programs for purpose of selling, mathematical programs for your own use, or games for entertainment or for sell.
In BASIC, I will help you to create your first BASIC program. Follow the steps.
1. Open notepad (for windows and Ms DOS) or Simple Text (for Mac).
2. Type the following:
Print “Hello, World”
3. Save the file as ‘hello. bas’ .
4. Compile it using your compiler. (See your compiler instructions for help).
The ‘print’ function can be used to output any text you put inside the double quote.
