 Acknowledgements

First and foremost, I would like to thank our Computer Science Teacher, Mr. Keshab Sir, for doing us
the courtesy of giving us a short, yet, considerate and feasible project work on the documentation of the
programming language—QBASIC; which stands for 'Quick Beginners’ All Purpose Symbolic Instruction
Code. Do keep in mind that this short documentation will unfortunately not cover the very basics of
QBASIC.

This short documentation of QBASIC incorporates its various facets such as its syntaxes, format, and
even examples, including over 50 QBASIC programs! I really do hope that you, the viewer, might be
able to fully assimilate the knowledge of QBASIC from this short documentation.

Special thanks to my friends, Kripesh, for the aptly font submissions; my friend, Subham, for planning
out this very acknowledgement page, alongside the introduction; and I would also like to thank my
friend, Raghav, for citing out all the references from both the internet and his own prior expertise in the
field.

I have also used our computer book, from Guinness Publication Pvt. Ltd. Pertaining to matters relating
to the contents of QBASIC. You need not to worry as it is contemporarily one of the computer books
approved by the Curriculum Development Centre (CDE) of Nepal. Computer-Zone book-9 is one of
Series on Computer Science designed for all the categories of student of Nepal. The book 9 of this series
is recommended for use in class 9.

Now that the above agendas for this documentation have been listed, it might be appropriate to just go
on with the rest of the document; but, before that, I would like to preface the specifications of this Word
Document if you have not noticed it yet:

1. Heading-font size: 16
2. Body-font size: 12
3. Header-font: Zapfino.
4. Body-font: Baskerville.
5. Number of words in the document: 4470

Nevertheless, I would like to reiterate my gratitude for this project work to my teacher, Mr. Keshab Sir,
for assigning this project work to us; and my peers for facilitating on the development of this work as I
did with theirs, kudos compadres!

 Introduction to QBASIC

The programming language BASIC (Beginners’ All Purpose Basic Instruction Code) as one of the
easiest programming languages which used English-words and mathematical notation as syntax for its
convenience. It was developed by Professors John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz who had developed this
language in hopes of enticing students from non-scientific fields to use computers as writing code for
computers back then was very counter-intuitive and only exclusive to scientists and mathematicians.

In the emergence of microcomputers in the mid-1970’s led to the development of multiple dialects of
BASIC, including QBASIC in 1991 AD. QBASIC is a high-level programming language published by
Microsoft. The QBASIC environment or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) provides many
conveniences such as syntax checking, multi-file and multi-window editing, full debugging facilities,
pull-down menus, syntax-checking editor and a simple, yet, powerful menu structure that can be driven
through either by a keyboard or a mouse.

During the home computer craze in the late 1970’s and 80’s, BASIC was ported and supplied with
many home computer designs, alongside slight variations to add support for machine-specific functions.
As the early home computers gave away to newer designs like the IBM Personal Computer and Apple
Macintosh, it rendered BASIC to be redundant. In the end, we were left with the creation of QBASIC
in 1991 AD.

QBASIC is supposed to be MS-DOS exclusive which explains the DOS-like interface in the QBASIC
IDE. QBASIC had, for the time, a state-of-the-art IDE with debuggers, syntax-highlighting, etc.
QBASIC came complete with four pre-written example programs. These were Nibbles, a variant of
Snake game; Gorillas, an artillery game; Money Manager, a personal finance manager.

In spite of the promising possibilities that QBASIC provides us with, it has been rendered obsolete and
redundant due to many competitions amongst other programming languages such as SQL, Python, JS,
Java, C#, C++, Ruby, Swift, etc. Furthermore, QBASIC is exclusive to DOS only, so it isn’t very
versatile and all efforts to port it to other systems have failed; plus, languages like Python have far
simpler syntax, readability, debuggers, etc. and it has been outperformed in every aspect, even syntax-
highlighting!

Nevertheless, though QBASIC has been rendered obsolete and redundant in the modern 21st century
era, it has still been bestowed the honor of being included in many schools’ educational curriculum. It is
now used for education purposes; it has guided over many students and educators alike to be inured with
the world of computers; and to top it all off: QBASIC has raised a generation of people, like me, to be
well-acquainted with computers and truly assimilate the wonders and beautiful, yet complex, enigmas of
this world.

 Elements of QBASIC

QBASIC Character Set:

A set of characters which are allowed to be used in QBASIC is called QBASIC

Character Set. A character represents any letter, digit, or any other sign. QBASIC possesses the following
character sets:
i.) Alphabets: A to Z (Small and capital letters)
ii.) Numbers: 0 to 9.
iii.) Special characters: ; = + - * / ^ ( ) % $ # ! , . “ : & ? < > \ ‘

Variables:

Variable are the storage locations in the computer’s memory for storing data. It is referred to by a
name and whose value can be altered during program execution. The types of variables are:
i.) Numeric variable: A numeric variable has a number as its value. For e.g., d2 = 480
ii.) String variable: A string variable represents numbers, alphabets, and special characters. E.g. N$=”Dog”

Constants:

Constant is a vale stored in a program which does not change during program execution. It is classified into
the following types:
i.) Numeric constant: A numeric constant is a numeric value in which arithmetic operations are performed.
ii.) String constant: A string constant is a set of alphanumeric or special characters enclosed in double quotes.

Operators and Expressions:

An operator is a symbol representing the operations they perform on operands in a program. Operands are
the values on which the operators work on. The types of operators are:
i.) Arithmetic operators: +, -, /, \, MOD, *, ^
ii.) Relational operators: =, <, >, <=, >=, <>
iii.) Logical operators: AND, OR, NOT,
iv.) Concatenation operators: “comp” + “uter”

Keywords:

Keywords are the words that convey a special meaning to the language. These are reserved for special
purpose and just not be used as normal identifier names. Some of the QBASIC keywords are: REM, CLS,
INPUT, PRINT, and END.

 QBASIC Operators’ Examples

Arithmetic Operators:

Operator Description Example

Raises a number to the power of another.

^ x= y^z

* Multiplies the operands.

x = y*z

/ Divides the left operand by the right.

x = y/z

Returns the highest integer as quotient.

\ x = y\z

MOD Returns the remainder.

x = y MOD z

+ Adds the operands.

x = y + z

Subtracts the operands.

- x = y - z

Relational Operators:

Operator Description Example

Checks if two values are equal or not.

= A=B

Compares whether the left operand is less

< A<B

than the right operand.

Compares whether the right operand is less

> A>B

than the left operand.

Compares whether the left operand is less

<= A<=B

than or equal to the right operand.

Compares whether the right operand is less

>= A>=B

than or equal to the left operand.

<> Compares whether numbers are not equal

A<>B

6
 Logical Operators:

Operator Description Example

Evaluates to true when both conditions

AND A>B AND A>C

are true.

Evaluates to true when one or both

OR A<B OR B>C

conditions are true.

Makes a true expression false, and a false

NOT B NOT C

expression true.

Concatenation Operator:

An expression involving string variables and constants is called string expression. Concatenation operators
connect multiple strings into a single string. QBASIC uses the plus sign (+) as a string concatenation operator.

CLS
A$ = “Math Majors”
B$ = “Were Created”
C$ = “To Destroy”
D$ = “English Majors”
E$ = A$ + B$ + C$ + D$
Print E$
END

String comparisons are actually made by taking one character at a time from each string and comparing
their ASCII code values. If the ASCII codes in each string are the same, the strings are equal. If the
ASCII code in each string is different, t string with the lower code is less than the string with the higher code.

 QBASIC Keywords

Introduction to Keywords:

Keywords are the words that convey a special meaning to the language. These are reserved for special purpose;
And must not be used as normal identifier names. Some of the QBASIC keywords are:

REM Statement:

REM Statement is used to include explanatory remarks to be inserted in a program which are very useful to
Explain what a group of statements achieve and what a variable stands for. Its syntax is:
REM <remark> or ‘<remark>’

CLS Statement:

CLS Statement is used to clear the output screen. It makes the screen completely blank. This command is
generally given before the start of any program so that there is a fresh screen and any left over from the
previous program is cleared completely. The general format of CLS is simply: CLS

LET Statement:

LET Statement is an assignment statement. It is used to assign the value of an expression to a variable. LET
is merely an optional keyword i.e., the equal sign is sufficient when assigning an expression to a variable name.
The type of the expression must be the same as the type of the variable. The general syntax of LET is:
LET <variable> = <expression>

INPUT Statement:

Input Statement is used to accept input from the keyboard during the execution of the program. It facilitates
the use of same program for various sets of data to obtain different results in different executions. Syntax:
INPUT [”definer”;|]list of variables

READ…DATA Statement:

READ Statement is used to read values from DATA statement and assign them to variables. Syntax:
READ [variable1, variable2, …]
…
DATA [constant1, constant2, …

PRINT Statement:

Print statement is used to display data on the screen. This statement will print constants, variables, expressions, etc.
Syntax: PRINT [list of expressions] [, \ ;] or ? [list of expressions] [, \ ;]

8
 QBASIC Branching Statements

GOTO Statement:

GOTO Statement is used for unconditional transfer of execution from one part of the program to the other. It does
not depend on any test of condition. The general format of GOTO statement is:
GOTO [line number | line label]

IF…ELSEIF…ENDIF Statement :
IF…ELSEIF…ENDIF statement is another variation of IF…THEN…ELSE statement. You can have an indefinite
number of ELSEIF clauses. The conditions are evaluated from top to bottom. As soon as one of the conditions
controlling IF is true, the statement associated with that IF is executed; and if none is true, then it will return to
ELSE which is the default statement. Syntax:
IF [condition1] THEN
[statementblock-1]
ELSEIF [condition2] THEN
[statementblock-2]
ELSE
[statementblock-3]
END IF

ON…GOTO Statement :
ON…GOTO Statement is a conditional statement on QBASIC which provides multiple branching facilities to a
program. When an expression is met, it redirects the flow of the program to a certain line. Syntax:
ON expression GOTO line1 [, line2]…

SELECT…CASE Statement :
Select…Case statement is a multi-branch selection statement that makes the control jump from one of the several
statements based on the value of an expression. If the values of the test expression correspond with the value or
values in the CASE statement, the commands after the CASE statement are executed. If the value does not match,
the CASE goes on to the next CASE statement. The general format of the SELECT…CASE statement is:
SELECT CASE test exp
CASE test1
Statements
CASE test2
Statements
…
CASE ELSE
Statements
END SELECTs

 QBASIC Looping Statements

Preface: A looping statement allows a set of instructions to be repeated a certain number of times. The repetition
continues while the condition set for it remains true. When the condition becomes false, the loop ends and the
control is passed to the statement, following the loop. The looping statement is also called an iterative statement.
QBASIC supports the following looping statements:

FOR…NEXT Statement :
FOR…NEXT statement is a count-controlled loop. It is used to execute a series of instructions a given number
of time. The general format of FOR…NEXT statement is:
FOR <counter variable> = x to y <STEP z>
<program statements>
EXIT <counter variable>

WHILE…WEND Statement :
WHILE…WEND statement is an entry-controlled loop. It is used to execute a series of statements as long as a
given condition is true. If the condition is true, all the statements are executed and when the WEND statement is
reached, control is returned to the WHILE statement. The general format of WHILE…WEND statement is:
WHILE <condition>
<program statements>
WEND

DO…LOOP Statement :
DO…LOOP statement causes a set of program statements to execute repeatedly until certain conditions are met
or as long as certain conditions are true. There are two variations of DO…LOOP statement and both use the same
basic model. A loop can execute either while the conditions are true or until the conditions becomes true. These
two variations use the keywords WHILE and UNTIL to specify how long the statements are executed. The syntax
for DO…LOOP statement can take either of the two forms:
DO
<statement block>
LOOP WHILE\Until <boolean expression>

OR

DO WHILE\UNTIL <boolean expression>

<statement block>
LOOP

 Conclusion and Citations

In conclusion of all the aforementioned contents of this short documentation, we can find it evident that
QBASIC is, indeed, a beginner-friendly, easy-to-grasp, and fun programming language with unique, easy
syntaxes which introduced a whole generation of people to program development in the technical
scale. It has its perks even for non-computer enthusiasts; nowadays, schools have introduced QBASIC
into its curriculum which has proved beneficial for children to develop their cognitive reasoning skills,
spatial reasoning skills, language skills, arithmetic skills, and, overall, has been able to equip children with
the skills needed to function in everyday society.

When I was preparing this short documentation of QBASIC I got as an assignment, I honestly had a great
time and felt this overwhelming sense of gratitude towards book publishers who overlook the entire design,
contents, and overall viewer-engagement of the books that they publish. Seeing everyone just completely
undermining the value of these books for very saddening to see. Nonetheless, I will cherish this week-whole
process of I, Nischal Tulachan, trying to perfect this small document which might not be the grandest of
goals but, in my mind, is irreplaceable. Many years hence, I would like to reminisce about my time in school
and the bonds I have made; and in that moment, I would want this document to be a memento of my time
in school. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk!
