• What is BASIC?
- BASIC usually stands for Beginner All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, it’s
a high level language that is developed by John Kemeny and Thomas Kertz in
1963 at dartmouth college USA.
• What is an IDE?
- IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment, it’s a software , that is
used to write, modify, save and load a BASIC program. E.g GW-BASIC , Quick
BASIC and Turbo BASIC
• What are modes of Operation?
- Modes are the ways of executing statements and commands in BASIC, there two
modes of operation.
1. Direct Mode
- In this mode BASIC commands and statements are executed as they are typed. And
the result is displayed immediately.
2. In-direct Mode
- In this modes every statement is proceeded/start by a line number
• What is Command and statement?
- Command is commonly used to manage program it’s written in direct mode e.g
RUN , SAVE , EDIT , LOAD etc.
-Statement is the important part of a program that usually works on in-direct mode,
all the statements are executed in the same sequence in which they are written e.g INPUT
, PRINT , END etc
 BASIC Structure and Rules
• Structure of a basic program is very simple, it consists of basic language
statements which are similar to English like word, each statement is started
with a specific line no.
• Rules for writing a BASIC program
- Each statement must start with a specific line no.
- The line no must be unique for each statement.
- Two statements can be written in one line but they must be separated by
colon a (:)
- Every program should be end with END statement but its not mandatory.
-The line no should be in ascending order.
