A short description of Basic

BASIC is a general-purpose high-level programming language, originally designed to develop programs in conversational mode. The name BASIC stands for Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. This language is found on most microcomputers because it is user-friendly and easy to learn.

BASIC consists of two main parts: the source language statements- the instructions which form the program- and the system commands which allows us to control and edit a program.

BASIC enables the user to interact with the program while it is being executed which means that data can be input while the program is running. Each instruction is given a line number which defines the logical sequence of statements within the program. Some well-known system commands in BASIC are: RUN, which executes a program held in a BASIC file; LIST, which prints a listing of a program on the screen; and DELETE, which removes a program from a file.

A large number of PC manufacturers adopted BASIC. At present, however, there are so many versions and extensions that programs written for one type of PC are not directly portable to another.
