 | | Like other scripting languages, BASIC is mostly an interpreted one and uses a rather simple syntax, without data types, apart from a distinction between strings and numbers. |
 | | The BASIC language (Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was born in 1964 at the Dartmouth college in New Hampshire (USA), where it has been developed by John G. Kemeney (1926-93) and Thomas E. Kurtz (1928-). |
 | | The language of this BASIC is very rich, structured and with typed variables (integer, floating, text, array, boolean). |
