Chapter 1 (BASIC )
REM STATEMENT - Non-executable statement used to make remarks or notations about the program.
PRINT STATEMENT - Used to display numbers, characters or words to an output screen.
String- A collection of symbols (letters, numbers or special characters)
END STATEMENT- Halt execution of a program.
What does BASIC stand for?
Beginner’s
All-Purpose
Symbolic
Instruction
Code

What two mathematicians created it?
John George Kemeny and Tom Kurtzas.
In what year was it created?
May 1st, 1964
What was it intended for?
computer language for generalists to use to unlock the
power of the computer in business and other academics.
Who created a version of BASIC in 1975?
Paul Allen and Bill Gates.
What was created in 1991?
VISUAL BASICS
What was created in 2001?
BASIC .NET
What does REM Statements help with?
explain what is going on in a program and allow someone to look at a
program to find out what the program or various parts of the program does.
True/False: We can use math expressions in print statements
TRUE
True/False: Quotation marks are needed for Strings
TRUE
PRINT(3-3) 0
PRINT(23*2) 46
PRINT(64^4)16777216
PRINT(“N”)N
PRINT(“3+7”) 3+7
PRINT(“Hello World”) Hello World
PRINT(“Goodbye”) Goodbye
PRINT(10-5*23^2) -2635
PRINT(“Shutting Down”) Shutting Down
PRINT(“265^2”) 265^2
COMMA VS SEMICOLONS
For example: “5+5=”,5+5 vs “5+5=”;5+5 → Whats the difference?
