QBasic Description

QuickBasic and QBasic are both easy-to-learn programming languages (and therefore great for beginners). They are based on DOS operating systems, but can also be used on Windows. QBasic is a slimmed down version of QuickBasic. QBasic is less powerful than QuickBasic because it does not have a compiler. QBasic can't be used to create executables (.exe) files. The built-in QBasic interpreter cannot execute the source code (normal files with a.bas extension). QuickBasic also has a wider command set than QBasic. A lightweight programming language and a simple compiler are the best tools to learn how to program. Qbasic (short for QB) offers many advantages to beginners and professionals that other compilers don't. QB IDE was very popular back then, when DOS was still the most widely-used operating system. QBasic/QuickBASIC is required on current Windows systems. DOSBox.
