Introduction to QuickBasic PRACTICAL MATHEMATICS Microsoft QuickBasic is a modern form of BASIC which is easy to learn. Learning QuickBasic will help you to learn Visual Basic and other programming languages. A simplified version is QBasic. These notes give enough of QBasic for simple mathematical applications. Use the Help menu on the computer to learn more, or look at the following books: Halvorson, M., and Rygmyr, D., 1989, Learn Basic Now, Microsoft Press. Waite, M., Arnson, R., Gemmell, C., and Henderson, H., 1990, Microsoft Quickbasic Bible, Microsoft Press. Contents 1. 1. REM Distance from the Origin PRINT "Enter X and Y" INPUT X, Y LET Dist = SQR(X * X + Y * Y) PRINT Dist END 2. A program consists of lines of text. The lines in the program contain statements which tell the computer what to do. The keyword REM means "remark". 3. Numerical constants are written in the usual way, with or without a decimal point, and with or without a minus sign: 2.75E4 means 27500, 2.75E-3 means 0.00275. CONST HalfPi = 1.570796
Introduction To QBasic - Pete's QBASIC / QuickBasic Site What is QuickBasic? The Short Version: QuickBasic is a programming language developed by Microsoft for use in the MS-DOS operating system. It is the successor of earlier forms of BASIC (Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), a simple programming language for beginning programmers. The Long Version:In 1985, Microsoft released the first version of QuickBasic, a faster and more feature-rich version of BASIC. What is QBASIC? QBASIC is a a stripped-down version of QuickBasic that Microsoft released in 1991, which was included for free with MS-DOS 5 and later versions. QBASIC is shareware. What is the difference between QBASIC and QuickBasic? While QBASIC is shareware, QuickBasic is commercial software. How can I get started programming in QBASIC? It's quite easy, actually! First, download QBASIC from right here (287KB). Next, head on over to the beginners' tutorials section and start reading the tutorials from the beginning.
Programming paradigm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Profile :: CareerCtr A programming paradigm is a fundamental style of computer programming, a way of building the structure and elements of computer programs. Capablities and styles of various programming languages are defined by their supported programming paradigms; some programming languages are designed to follow only one paradigm, while others support multiple paradigms. There are six main programming paradigms: imperative, declarative, functional, object-oriented, logic and symbolic programming.[1][2][3] Overview[edit] Overview of the various programming paradigms[4]:5 In object-oriented programming, programmers can think of a program as a collection of interacting objects, while in functional programming a program can be thought of as a sequence of stateless function evaluations. Programming paradigms can also be compared with programming models which are abstractions of computer systems. History[edit] Machine code[edit] Procedural languages[edit] All these languages follow the procedural paradigm.
REXX Rexx is supplied with VM/SP on up, TSO/E Version 2 on up, OS/2 (1.3 on up), AmigaOS Version 2 on up, PC DOS (7.0 or 2000), and Windows NT 4.0 (Resource Kit: Regina). REXX scripts for OS/2 share the filename extension .cmd with other scripting languages, and the first line of the script specifies the interpreter to be used. A Rexx script or command is sometimes referred to as an EXEC in a nod to Rexx's role as a replacement for the older EXEC command language on CP/CMS and VM/370 and EXEC 2 command language on VM/SP. Features[edit] Rexx has the following characteristics and features: Rexx has just twenty-three, largely self-evident, instructions (such as call, parse, and select) with minimal punctuation and formatting requirements. Rexx's syntax looks similar to PL/I, but has fewer notations; this makes it harder to parse (by program) but easier to use, except for cases where PL/I habits may lead to surprises. History[edit] Several freeware versions of Rexx are available. Syntax[edit]
HomePage - Kwiki History of Programming Languages Wiki Among our friends, authors, and editors, there is a high level of historical knowledge and personal experience of the events in the History of Programming Languages poster. We hope to inspire and capture your comments and discussion here in in this wiki. Great Poster! I don't see how BASIC existed in splendid isolation excepAside from the name, Visual Basic and BASIC have very little in common. this the great Poster Thanks :Mohsen Basirat I'm somewhat distraught that Ruby isn't on the poster :Daniel Berger Ruby should be among these languages as well :Kent It's there. A somewhat lighter version: :Joao Fortran II begat a language called Tabol, Tabol begat FCS/EPS and FCS/EPS begat MicroFCS. It would make my life a little less meaningless :-) Agile Programming Languages Would be interesting to see a chart that groups related languages; for example, AgileProgrammingLanguages. Do they have Kinkos overseas? Great Poster!
The History of C++ Programming Language - Authentic Society Notes on the difference between C an C++ You may hear from time to time that the C++ programming language is a superset of the C language. In C++, you can do almost everything you can do in C, with the exception of just a small number of things that may be considered specification details. Nonetheless, C and C++ are two different languages. Why was it named C++? Initially the C++ language was named "C with Classes" because you could still write C-like programs in C++ but you could also use what we call classes. On the other hand, the reason the C programming language is called C, is that it is a successor to the language called B. The History of C++ And so, with the help of the previous few paragraphs we can move on. In 1972, Ken Tompson and Dennis Ritchie created an improved version of the B language, and named it C. B got its start on a UNIX-operated system, by today's standards a prehistoric computer called DEC PDP-7. ANSI makes C a Standard The birth of C++ There had to be a solution.
The History of Programming Languages For 50 years, computer programmers have been writing code. New technologies continue to emerge, develop, and mature at a rapid pace. Now there are more than 2,500 documented programming languages! O'Reilly has produced a poster called History of Programming Languages (PDF: 701K), which plots over 50 programming languages on a multi-layered, color-coded timeline. How It Started We first saw the "History of Programming Languages" diagram, created by Éric Lévénez, while visiting our French office. About the O'Reilly Poster "Cool" is generally the first thing we heard from people who reviewed our poster. Getting Your Copy The poster is available online in PDF format (701k). Special Thanks Thanks to all who reviewed and commented on this poster along the way, including Éric Lévénez, Mark Brokering, Mark Stone, Daniel Steinberg, David Flanagan, Ian Darwin, Tim O'Reilly, Mike Hendrickson, Laurie Petrycki, Geoff Collyer, and Mark Brader.
GHC/Data Parallel Haskell 1 Data Parallel Haskell Searching for Parallel Haskell? DPH is a fantastic effort, but it's not the only way to do parallelism in Haskell. Try the Parallel Haskell portal for a more general view. Data Parallel Haskell is the codename for an extension to the Glasgow Haskell Compiler and its libraries to support nested data parallelism with a focus to utilise multicore CPUs. This is the performance of a dot product of two vectors of 10 million doubles each using Data Parallel Haskell. 1.1 Project status Data Parallel Haskell (DPH) is available as an add-on for GHC 7.4 in the form of a few separate cabal package. The current implementation should work well for code with nested parallelism, where the depth of nesting is statically fixed or no user-defined nested-parallel datatypes are used. DPH focuses on irregular data parallelism. Note: This page describes version 0.6.* of the DPH libraries. Disclaimer: Data Parallel Haskell is very much work in progress. 1.2 Where to get it 1.3 Overview
