Study Notes

BASIC Programming

  • BASIC-256 is a simple programming language for calculations and business applications
  • It is a text-based language using simple English-like commands
  • The editor is where BASIC-256 programs are written
  • The toolbar contains commands like New, Open, Save, Cut, Copy, Paste, and Run
  • The text output area displays output from programs
  • A program consists of statements; each statement is a command for the computer
  • The PRINT statement displays output in the text output area
  • The REM statement creates comments in the program
  • The END statement marks the end of a program

Variables

  • Variables store information in computer memory
  • Variable names are identifiers; they use letters, numbers, and underscores
  • Integer variables store whole numbers
  • Floating variables store decimal numbers
  • String variables store text

Operators

  • Operators are special symbols that perform calculations (arithmetic or logical).
  • Arithmetic operators are used for mathematical calculations
    • Addition (+)
    • Subtraction (-)
    • Multiplication (*)
    • Division (/)
    • Exponentiation (^)
  • Logical operators are used for decision-making in expressions
    • AND (returns TRUE if both operands are TRUE)
    • OR (returns TRUE if at least one operand is TRUE)
    • NOT (reverses the logical state of an operand)
    • XOR (logical exclusion on two expressions)

Relational Operators

  • Used to compare values of two operands, returning TRUE or FALSE
  • Examples:
    • Equal (=)
    • Not equal (<>)
    • Greater than (>)
    • Less than (<)
    • Greater than or equal to (>=)
    • Less than or equal to (<=)

Keywords

  • Reserved words that cannot be used as variables; predefined for specific use
  • Examples: PRINT, CLS, NEXT, WHILE, FOR, ELSE, END, INPUT

Comments

  • Used to explain the program code
  • Start with a hash symbol (#) in BASIC-256
  • Ignored by the compiler during program execution
