Capitalised with a total of £ 600 million, it will distribute funds to intermediaries that will lend money to social enterprises, charities and community groups.

Applesoft BASIC was supplied by Microsoft and its name is derived from the names of both Apple and Microsoft.

* Atomic strings: A string is no longer an array of characters ( as in Integer BASIC and C ); it is instead a garbage-collected object ( as in Scheme and Java ).

The can be used in Applesoft BASIC as a shortcut for " PRINT ", though spelling out the word is not only acceptable but canonical — Applesoft converted "?

AMOS BASIC is a dialect of the BASIC programming language implemented on the Amiga computer.

AMOS is a descendant of STOS BASIC for the Atari ST. AMOS BASIC was first produced in 1990.

BASIC is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use ; the name is an acronym from Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.

It is compatible with Microsoft / IBM BASICA, but was disk based and did not need the ROM BASIC.

Whitten refers to it as Gee-Whiz BASIC and is unsure if Gates named the program after him.

In computer science, it is the remainder operator that is usually indicated by either "%" ( e. g. in C, Java, Javascript, Perl and Python ) or " mod " ( e. g. in Pascal, BASIC, SQL, Haskell ), with exceptions ( e. g. Excel ).

Modern PLCs can be programmed in a variety of ways, from the relay-derived ladder logic to programming languages such as specially adapted dialects of BASIC and C. Another method is State Logic, a very high-level programming language designed to program PLCs based on state transition diagrams.

Below is what would be considered a trivial example of spaghetti code in BASIC.

True BASIC is a variant of the BASIC programming language descended from Dartmouth BASIC — the original BASIC — invented by college professors John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz.

There is currently no Mac OS X version of True BASIC, and so it will not run on any Mac system released since 2005.

The machine's Sinclair BASIC interpreter is stored in ROM ( along with fundamental system-routines ) and was written by Steve Vickers on contract from Nine Tiles Ltd.

The Spectrum's chiclet keyboard ( on top of a membrane, similar to calculator keys ) is marked with BASIC keywords, so that, for example, pressing " G " when in programming mode would insert the BASIC command GOTO.

Different magazines were published featuring programs for specific computers, though some BASIC programs were considered universal and could be used in machines running any variant of BASIC ( sometimes with minor adaptations ).

In the latter case, program and data entry was done at front panel switches directly into memory or through a computer terminal / keyboard, sometimes controlled by a read-only memory ( ROM ) BASIC interpreter ; when power was turned off after running the program, the information so entered vanished.

The follow-up version, БК-0010. 01 ( sometimes referred to as-0010-01 ) was essentially the same machine, but with a conventional full-travel keyboard and a Vilnius BASIC p-code compiler in the ROM, correcting the weakest points of its predecessor.

" POKE " is sometimes used as a generic term to refer to any direct manipulation of the contents of memory, rather than just via BASIC, particularly among people who learned computing on the 8-bit microcomputers of the late 70s and early 80s.

Such a device is sometimes referred to as a " write once read never " or WORN device ( named after the magneto-optical WORM devices used during the 80s ), and was indeed implemented as such as an Easter egg in early versions of Atari BASIC.

Many Atari ST users were introduced to GFA BASIC through magazine articles and tutorials in popular Atari magazines such as ST Format, and free copies were sometimes given away on these magazines ' cover discs.

In numerical computation, mathematical style pseudocode is sometimes called pidgin code, for example pidgin ALGOL ( the origin of the concept ), pidgin Fortran, pidgin BASIC, pidgin Pascal, and pidgin C. It is a compact and often informal notation that blends syntax taken from a conventional programming language with mathematical notation, typically using set theory and matrix operations, and perhaps also natural language descriptions.

# An example of the sometimes excessively long type-ins to be encountered was a BASIC extension for the Commodore 64 published in the Finnish magazine MikroBitti ; the program's machine code portion made up 20 pages full of numbers for the reader to enter flawlessly into the computer.

Many BASIC dialects use other sigils to denote integers and floating point numbers, and sometimes other types as well.

Early home and hobby users of personal computers in the late 1970s and early 1980s sometimes typed in programs, usually in the BASIC language, which were published in the computer magazines of the time.

" The GW-BASIC name stands for Gee-Whiz BASIC.

Some clever program counter catches meant that the ordinary system ROMs and any software using the OS calls could function without significant modification, making substantially more memory available for BASIC, View, Viewsheet and almost every other business application.

It was also referred to as FP ( from " floating point ") because of the command used to invoke it instead of INT for Integer BASIC.

" Apple reportedly obtained an eight-year license for Applesoft BASIC from Microsoft for a flat fee of $ 21, 000, renewing it in 1985 through an arrangement that gave Microsoft the rights and source code for Apple's Macintosh version of BASIC.

Whereas Wozniak originally referred to his Integer BASIC as " Game BASIC ," having written it so he could write a Breakout clone for his new computer, few action games were written in Applesoft BASIC for several reasons:

No provision was added in the 128 kB Apple IIe and Apple IIc models ' BASIC interpreters for the new machines ' extra memory and double-resolution graphics, or for the Apple II's 16-color mode.

* Despite its heritage, Applesoft lacked commands common to most other Microsoft BASIC interpreters, such as INSTR ( which searched for a substring in a given string ; this had to be done manually with loops and the MID $ function ), PRINT USING ( which formatted numbers with commas and currency signs according to a format string ), and INKEY $ ( which checked for a keypress without stopping the program as Applesoft's GET command — analogous to the INPUT $ function — did, although a PEEK location did provide this functionality ).

Integer BASIC used characters with codes above 127 for normal text and codes below 128 for tokens ; Applesoft used exactly the reverse.

* Applesoft, like Integer BASIC before it, did not come with any built-in commands for dealing with files or disks, other than a feature to save programs to, and load programs from, audiotape.

Similarly, all output was scrutinized for a Control-D character ( ASCII 4 ), which BASIC programs would send before seemingly PRINTing a disk command to get DOS's attention ( the disk commands would not really get PRINTed but were intercepted by DOS and prevented from making it to the screen output ).

It also was responsible for switching to ROM BASIC when the system was turned on with the break key pressed, and later supported a primitive LAN system, using the RS232 port with modified cabling.

In 1988 the British artist and friend of Weizenbaum Brian Reffin Smith created and showed at the exhibition ' Salamandre ', in the Musée du Berry, Bourges, France, two art-oriented ELIZA-style programs written in BASIC, one called ' Critic ' and the other ' Artist ', running on two separate Amiga 1000 computers.

Dr. Li-Chen Wang ( 1935-) is an American computer engineer, best known for his Palo Alto Tiny BASIC for Intel 8080-based microcomputers.

Thomas Eugene Kurtz ( born February 22, 1928 ) is an American computer scientist who co-developed the BASIC programming language during 1963 to 1964, together with John G. Kemeny.

Since this peripheral was only available in Japan ( intended for use with Nintendo's Family BASIC ), track saving was effectively unavailable to American and European players even though there are " save " and " load " options present within the in-game menus of those versions ( the game's English manual states that " Save and Load menu selections are not operable in this game ; they have been programmed in for potential product developments ").

John George Kemeny () ( May 31, 1926 – December 26, 1992 ) was a Jewish-Hungarian American mathematician, computer scientist, and educator best known for co-developing the BASIC programming language in 1964 with Thomas E. Kurtz.
