BASIC

From Encyc

BASIC is a computer programming language. The name is an acronym for "'Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code". It is an interpreted high-level programming language and doesn't need to be compiled. It has a clear, linear, word-like structure, making it an ideal first language for students to learn. The highly structured language is also good for teaching logic and organization.

Example[edit]

  • 10 CLS
  • 20 PRINT "ENCYC IS THE GREATEST"
  • 30 GOTO 20
