Introduction

QBASIC (Quick Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code ) is a

programming language developed by Microsoft . Corporation to use the MS-DOS
operating system. it is the successor of the earlier version of BASIC. it was developed
by John.J Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz in 1964 at Dartmouth College, New
Hemisphere. Today many Version of BASIC are available such as BASICA, GW
BASIC, Turbo BASIC, VB , and QBASIC etc.

Features of QBASIC

It is easy to learn and understand.

It is user friendly language.
QBASIC programs are portable
It allows us to test/debug the program.
It supports Structure Programming
It allows function or Procedure to be defined in the program.

Loading QBASIC
The QBASIC program consist two files- QBASIC.EXE and QBASIC.HLP. To load
QBASIC program on your computer you need to run QBASIC.EXE file in the
memory.
Elements of QBASIC

The elements of QBASIC are the building blocks of any programs in QBASIC. The
elements of QBASIC are required to construct the program in QBASIC. Following
are the elements of QBAISC:

Character Sets
QBASIC words
Variables
Constants
Operators
Expression

Character Set

QBASIC contains three sets of characters. The characters set include alphabet,
number and special characters. All the characters other than the alphabetical and
numeric are called special characters.
QBASIC words:
The words used in QBASIC is called QBASIC words.Following are the two types of
QBASIC words.

Reserved Words(Keywords)
User defined words.
