QBasic (Microsoft QuickBASIC or abbreviated as QB) is a fairly simple and convenient integrated development environment and compiler developed in the second half of the 1980s by Microsoft's BASIC (Basic) programming language.

There are two varieties of BASIC dialect, for DOS and Mac OS. For its time, the programming language Basic was quite perfect: it supported several types of users, structural programming, supported graphic and disk operations, versions older than 2.0 work with a visual text editor.

There are several versions of the integrated QuickBASIC environment - QuickBASIC 4.5, QBasic, QBasic 7.1 PDS, QuickBASIC 1.0 RU and QB64. QBasic version is a shortened version of the final release of QuickBASIC 4.5 for MS-DOS older than version 5 and various versions of Windows (including 7.8.10 64-bit) in DOS emulation mode. The program is used as an interpreter of a simple programming language at the initial levels of education.

QBasic provides an easy and convenient environment for beginners to learn and implement the basics of programming language.

The basis of the truncated QBasic is the Intelligent Editor and the Compiler Type Interpreter. It pre-composes and compiles the program into the original pseudocode and then performs it. After debugging the created program, the user can create an executable .exe file using the real compiler and the environment compiler from QuickBASIC 4.5 or other more complete versions.

Programming on QBasic is easy and pleasant. The BASIC programming environment is perfect for simple calculation and teamwork. Programming environment is not suitable for creating multi-module programs (you can not load previously created modules), the program must be written from beginning to end.

QBasic is an integrated development environment. It can interpret the BASIC dialects based on QuickBasic.

It can compile the code to an intermediate representation. It currently supports only the Windows operating system. It also offers a free application to help the students learn the language. It has comparatively minimal support for the DOS and MacOS operating systems also. It can be used to debug the errors as well. Older hardware can also run this program.

👨‍💻️ USER REVIEWS AND COMMENTS 💬

Jake

QBasic is a shortened version of the final version which acts as the communicator between simple programming language in entry-level education levels. Comes equipped with a linker and compiler to write programs from start-to-finish. This software works with MS-DOS systems, and also comes in a Russian version.

QuickBasic for Windows, also known as QBasic, is a downloadable software program. It was released in July of 2017. QuickBasics main function is that it is used as an interpreter. It is used to run quick basic software applications and programs designed for your Windows operating system. The software program does take up much memory or space and a free version of the program is available.                        

Jack

It is one of the best interpreters of all programing languages, it is designed in a way that it can run in all operating systems.it also supports all built-in devices, it works together with all debuggers and code variation. The only disadvantage with this software is that it is limited to support some type of data and some types of numeric data.                        

Adam

I love using QBasic (QuickBASIC) for Windows because it's a program that helps me read, run and interpret the programs that are installed on my Windows device. It handles the fundamental quick basic programs with ease and is super efficient. I've never had any problems with this program slowing down the speed of my computer or my tablet, which I appreciate.                        

Charlie

One must software that can be used by all the software and app developers
this QBAsic is a compiler for programming language
Qbasic checks for the error perfectly and easy in compiling the program 
it is a free software works on all windows version

QBasic is an intuitve programming environment that makes it easy to create and run programs. It's great for learning the basics of coding but may not be suitable for more advance tasks.                        

Ethan Surrette

This software is a programming language designed for beginners to create simple applications. It uses a structured language with basic commands, functions, and subroutines to write code. It has a simple user interface and provides a debugger to help find and fix errors in the code. The software also allows for the creation of graphics and animations. It supports input and output operations, file handling, and string manipulation. It is an easy-to-learn language that can be used to create small-scale programs quickly.                        

Joshua I.

QBasic is an outdated programming language that was popular in the 90s for beginners or hobbyists to learn programming.                        

Blair

QBasic, also known as QuickBASIC, is a programming language designed by Microsoft. It's characterized by its simplified syntax that's easy to understand, making it an ideal choice for beginners. A key feature of this software is its integrated development environment, which supports direct editing, executing, and debugging of programs. Another noteworthy aspect is its capability to produce standalone executable (.EXE) files from the source code.                        

Nathan
