It’s not QBASIC, it’s QBasic. It was named that way since it’s not actually BASIC, it’s more of a lite version of Pascal.

That's one more thing I've learned then, I never knew that.

Hm, Wiki says it's an evolution of QuickBASIC and lists it with BASIC variants. I've never used QuickBASIC so I can't comment. I heard years ago that it was named QBasic without the BASIC acronym because it wasn't a true BASIC. I don't remember why it wasn't considered a true BASIC, though. I do remember that it's like 90% the same as Pascal, which is why I mentioned it. Pascal ought to have a resurgence. It was a nice language. Nearly C, but not quite, and just verbose enough to be readable. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

Oooh, you're right actually, 9572AD. QuickBASIC and QBasic had the exact same IDE, so it was easy to get confused, but QBasic was the one I meant. I also love a bit of Pascal. I remember the one I first used had a weird feature where if your program had a divide by zero bug, it would cause the IDE to extremely violently shoot the source code listing out of the printer. -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |
