Who has ever written in BASIC?
374602
yup.. started out with BASIC.. loong back. Am surprised someone has actually asked a question in this prehistoric language!!\n\nThis language is the best example for SPAGHETTI CODE  ... lotsa goto statements to be used for loops, if conditions etc..slightly better than assembly..that's it!! \n\n\n\n\nHere is an example .. and there is a for loop and an if condition here..\n\n 10 INPUT "What is your name: "; U$\n 20 PRINT "Hello "; U$\n 30 REM\n 40 INPUT "How many stars do you want: "; N\n 50 S$ = ""\n 60 FOR I = 1 TO N\n 70 S$ = S$ + "*"\n 80 NEXT I\n 90 PRINT S$\n 100 REM\n 110 INPUT "Do you want more stars? "; A$\n 120 IF LEN(A$) = 0 THEN GOTO 110\n 130 A$ = LEFT$(A$, 1)\n 140 IF (A$ = "Y") OR (A$ = "y") THEN GOTO 40\n 150 PRINT "Goodbye ";\n 160 FOR I = 1 TO 200\n 170 PRINT U$; " ";\n 180 NEXT I\n 190 PRINT\n\n\nDo u seriously wanna continue studying this horrible language?? I would recommend C .. rather some prehistoric piece of junk.

Life Before the Computer\n\nAn application was for employment\nA program was a TV show\nA cursor used profanity\nA keyboard was a piano!\n\nMemory was something that you lost with age\nA CD was a bank account\nAnd if you had a 3 ½ inch floppyYou hoped nobody found out! \n\nCompress was something you did to garbage\nNot something you did to a file\nAnd if you unzipped anything in public\nYou'd be in jail for awhile!\n\nLog on - was adding wood to a fire\nHard drive was a long trip on the road\nA mouse pad was where a mouse lived\nAnd a backup happened to your commode!\n\nCut - you did with a pocket knife\nPaste you did with glue\nA web was a spider's home\nAnd a virus was the flu!\n\nI guess I'll stick to my pad and paper\nAnd the memory in my head\n\nHave you ever considered living in a world without modern technology?  We wouldn't have the personal computer you are sitting in front of now, much less cell phone networks, satellites, weaponry system, or any other device that relies on micro technology.  What would the world be like if all the technology we've developed, discovered, and invented over the last 100 years suddenly stopped working?  This week at school we had a very small taste of what it would be like.\n\nLast Friday, some bright computer technician at our Educational Support Center decided to mess with the domain-level server, and for some unknown reason, the server didn't a like him.  Whoever it was tinkering with the server caused a huge problem: they changed something that made the server "cry."  Unfortunately, computers are very fragile in this regard - they don't yet have the A.I. technology necessary to say "Hey Idiot, that probably isn't a good idea!"  Well, when the domain server went down, the problems just kept on rolling down the hill.  They multiplied - the result of one problem causing another because of network dependencies - and ended up shutting down the entire district's network access\n\nI hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash

The code below will work.\n\nint main()\n{\nint aNum,i;\ncout<<"enter a number";\ncin>> aNum;\nfor(i=0;i<aNum;i++)\n{\nfor(j=0;j<=i;j++)//nested loop\ncout<<"*";// end of nested loop\ncout<<'&#92;n';\n}// end of outer loop\nreturn 0;\n}

Hmm .. unless it's really new, I've never heard of 'virtual' basic.  Maybe "Visual" basic,\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=GGLR%2CGGLR%3A2005-49%2CGGLR%3Aen&q=%22visual+basic%22+tutorial

There are many different programming languages that you can use to program a computer. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, and therefore some are more suited for writing one type of software than others.\n\nVisual Basic is very good for beginners, and it is possible to use it for quite complex programs.\n\nIt is an object oriented language, which means that you effectively draw the screen using tools much like you do using a desk top publishing program, and then you write the program by adding the code to each object.\n\nBasic stand for "Beginners all purpose symbolic instruction code" and was designed to be easy to use. It is a high level language, which means the commands you use are closely related to English and therefore easy to remember / learn.\n\nTo develop your own software, once you have learnt a language, you first have to have a clear idea about what it is you want to write, and how it is going to work.\n\nA good place to start is to write out your program using "pseudo code". Pseudo code means you plan out exactly how the program is going to work, but without worrying abut the actual commands you are going to use - write each line using whatever makes sense to you - presumably English - and then when you sit down to actually write the program you just need to convert your notes in to the language you are using. Pseudo code is good because it allows you to plan out the program, work out how to is going to work, and plan the logical flow of it.

Without knowing the language you're programming in, I can't tell you.\n\nHere are a few common ones:\n\nC++:\ncout << "Text to display";\n\nC:\nprintf("Text to display");\n\nJava:\nSystem.out.println("Text to display");\n\nEDIT:\nAh, you want VB! Here you go:\nConsole.Write("Text to display")\nor\nConsole.WriteLine("Text to display")

I learnt VB 6 years ago by reading Visual Basic 6 for Dummies\nby Wallace Wang. The book is very good for beginners.\n\nHere is another good site: http://www.profsr.com/vb/vbless04.htm

honey,that's a bit too hard.Is that really your homework?? gee..who wrote it? John Ashberry.Please tell us who wrote it.
