I am taking a computer engineering class and we are going to be working with mainly hardware components, and we are going to be programming them to interface with other devises in the short future, using Q basic. What the F is QB and has anyone had some experience with the syntax, and if so how does it differ from Java or VB (or BrainF lol). thanks -Ecook |

QBASIC is a variant of BASIC, which you hopefully know of, written by Microsoft in the early 90s, and became very popular after being distributed with Windows. I think you'll find a few posts in our Other Basics forum, and there should still be a good deal of references around the internet. The syntax is basically (haha, get it?) what you can expect from any BASIC. It is, I suppose, primitive compared to VB and Java, however it is cleaner than VB in my opinion. |

There. That should be enough info to get an overview of it. It has some sample code there as well. |
