Chapter 8: Programming With QBasic:
QBasic: It stands for ‘Quick Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code’, a
Language developed by Microsoft for beginner programmers.
Main Features Of QBasic:
i) It is a simple and user-friendly language.
ii) It is one of the most accepted languages because it is a flexible language in which
modifications can be done easily.
iii) It can solve both, mathematical and logical problems.
Variable: A variable is used to store values in a program. In QBasic, you can store two
types of data in variables:
1. Numeric: To store numeric values, such as Roll no and Marks.
2. String: To store alphabets, such as name and address. Strings are declared using the
$(dollar) sign. You can also use numbers in string which do not require calculations.
CLS statement: The CLS statement allows you to clear the output screen.
REM statement: The REM statement is used to give comments. Comments are
explanatory statements included in the code and help anyone to understand the
code.
LET statement: The LET statement is used to assign the value of an expression to
a variable.
INPUT statement: The INPUT statement is used to prompt the user to enter the value
of a variable during the execution of a program.
PRINT statement: The PRINT statement is used to display the output of the program
on the screen.
END statement: The END statement stops the further processing of the QBasic
statements.
Example Of QBASIC Programs:
1.) Write a QBASIC program to input two numbers and print their subtraction.
CLS
REM To calculate subtraction between two numbers
INPUT “Enter the two numbers”; A, B
LET S= A-B
PRINT “The Result =”; S
END
2.) Write a program to input side of a square and print area and perimeter
of a square.
CLS
REM To calculate area and perimeter of a square
INPUT “Enter the side of a square”; S
LET area= S*S
LET perimeter=4*S
PRINT “The area of square=”; area
PRINT “The perimeter of square=”; perimeter
END
3.) Write a program to display Name, Age and Address of a student:
CLS
REM To display Name, Age and address of a student
INPUT “Enter your name”;N$
INPUT “Enter your age”;Age
INPUT “Enter your address”;Add$
PRINT “My name is ”;N$
PRINT “My age is”;Age
PRINT “My address is”;Add$
END
