GW-BASIC :
GW-BASIC is an early programming language
developed by Microsoft from IBM BASICA in the
1980s. It was first appeared in 1983.It stands for
“Graphics and Windows Basic”. It was designed to be
user-friendly, so even people who are new to
programming could start writing code quickly. With
GW-BASIC , we could do a variety of things like
creating simple games, perform calculations, or even
manage data. For example you might use it to write
a small program that asks for your name and then
greets you. A simple GW-BASIC program to do might
look like:
10 PRINT “What is your name?”
20 INPUT Name$
30 PRINT “Hello,” Name$
40 END
Here, PRINT is used to display text on the screen,
INPUT gets the user’s response and stores it in the
variable Name$, and END indicates the end of the
program. This kind of programming was great for
learning the basics of coding because it was easy to

immediately. GW-BASED also had commands for
doing more complex tasks, like drawing graphics or
performing calculations, making it a versatile tool for
early computer users. For people who are new to
programming GW-BASIC is a good start.
