He didn't forget it. It was left out on purpose Wink There are no pros to the language and an overwhelming amount of cons Laughing

QBasic is actually Quick Basic, and it implements standard basic, so it isn't a language in and of itself.

Pros:

    Easy to learn
    Quick to debug
    VERY Portable
    VERY Stable language

Cons:

    SLOW
    VERY SLOW
    Dead as far as new compilers/interpreters go
    No OO support


Oh, and the best pascal comiler right now is FreePascal, which DOES have support for pascal objects, as well as classes. It's not standard, but i think there may be an effort to make a standard... either way if yuor looking for a really good pascal compiler FreePascal is the best.

People who write the software that makes cars and thousands of other devices run properly, who make boatloads of money doing so.

Which other languages do you consider too old to be of any worth?

Perhaps we should tell all of the LISPers still happily using it and its derivatives (notably, Scheme) after 50 years that they should use VB.

you only use asm and those languages for rom programming not computer application. Its either java or vb now although there is a demand for php or sql.

Not really... I think C and C++ are looked for more widely than VB...

I said Qbasic as a joke, I wasn't being serious.

Edit: I actually have to use it in my computer engineering class Razz
