There are many advantages to using QBASIC to program with...
1> This programming language is FREE
...it comes on both the Windows 95/98 CD ROM discs
...it can also be FREEly downloaded over the internet.
2> This programming language is very simple and easy to learn. It also includes built in help; with code examples you can both copy and paste/then, RUN; so you don't need to buy a book/or, use the internet in order to find help.
3> It is an extremely 'compact' programming language; which will fit onto a single 3 & 1/2 inch floppy disk drive. So, you really don't need to have TONS of disk space available; before you can think of both downloading and using it.
4> It is an updated/and, therefore, 'modern day' version of the old BASIC programming language; so, it doesn't need to use such things as...
>REM
>Line numbers/GOTO
>GOSUB/RETURN
>-etc.
QBASIC, instead, uses well structured code.
However, on the other hand, QBASIC is also meant to be 'backwards compatible' with old BASIC's; so, it is actually possible to write old BASIC style programs inside of the QBASIC IDE/Integrated Development Environment; and, still get these older programs to work, properly. This means you can type in/run/test old BASIC code; and, learn from these programming examples, as well.
