<div class=" border-3d p-2">
<p class="text-justify my-1">QBasic as well as QuickBasic is an easy-to-learn programming language (and therefore ideal for beginners), based on DOS operating system, but also executable on Windows. <strong>Differences between QBasic and QuickBasic: </strong>QBasic is the slimmed-down version of QuickBasic. Compared to <b>QuickBasic</b>, QBasic is limited as it lacks a compiler. Therefore QBasic cannot be used to produce executables (.exe files). The source code (usually files with .bas extension) can only be executed immediately by the built-in QBasic interpreter. Furthermore, QuickBasic has a more extensive command set than QBasic.</p>

<h4 class="text-center">QBasic / QuickBASIC - an excellent Introduction in programming for Beginners</h4>
<p class="text-justify border-bottom pb-2">Best way to learn programming is to start with a lightweight programming language and a simple compiler. <strong>Qbasic</strong> (short: QB) has great advantages for pros and beginners that other compilers can't offer:</p>
<p class="fs-5 text-center px-0 mb-0"><b>Helpful on typing proper Code</b></p>
<p class="text-justify px-0">Code is checked for errors while typing; each expression will be evaluated immediately after typing. By the way, this extraordinary feature is an important reason for the great popularity of QB: the ability to check expressions while typing. This saves a tremendous amount of time when checking the code, in particular for large projects; just because a comma is missing somewhere.</p>
<p class="fs-5 text-center px-0 mb-0"><b>QBasic with modern Windows OS's</b></p>
<p class="text-justify px-0">Back then, when DOS was the most widely used operating system, QB IDE enjoyed great popularity. On current Windows systems, QBasic / QuickBASIC requires a DOS emulator, e.g. <a href="https://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1">DOSBox</a>.</p>
<p class="fs-5 text-center px-0 mb-0"><b>Some more Features</b></p>
<p class="text-justify px-0 mb-0">No installation necessary, QBasic / <b>QuickBASIC</b> is portable and does't affect the system’s registry. When launching QB, a command line window opens that displays a couple of menus with access to standard functions such as editing, searching and debugging, just to name a few. Qbasic is ideally suited to all users, from beginners to experts; it's an impressive code interpreter including a powerful IDE.</p>

<div class=" border-3d p-2">
<p class="text-justify my-1">QBasic as well as QuickBasic is an easy-to-learn programming language (and therefore ideal for beginners), based on DOS operating system, but also executable on Windows. <strong>Differences between QBasic and QuickBasic: </strong>QBasic is the slimmed-down version of QuickBasic. Compared to <b>QuickBasic</b>, QBasic is limited as it lacks a compiler. Therefore QBasic cannot be used to produce executables (.exe files). The source code (usually files with .bas extension) can only be executed immediately by the built-in QBasic interpreter. Furthermore, QuickBasic has a more extensive command set than QBasic.</p>

<h4 class="text-center">QBasic / QuickBASIC - an excellent Introduction in programming for Beginners</h4>
<p class="text-justify border-bottom pb-2">Best way to learn programming is to start with a lightweight programming language and a simple compiler. <strong>Qbasic</strong> (short: QB) has great advantages for pros and beginners that other compilers can't offer:</p>
<p class="fs-5 text-center px-0 mb-0"><b>Helpful on typing proper Code</b></p>
<p class="text-justify px-0">Code is checked for errors while typing; each expression will be evaluated immediately after typing. By the way, this extraordinary feature is an important reason for the great popularity of QB: the ability to check expressions while typing. This saves a tremendous amount of time when checking the code, in particular for large projects; just because a comma is missing somewhere.</p>
<p class="fs-5 text-center px-0 mb-0"><b>QBasic with modern Windows OS's</b></p>
<p class="text-justify px-0">Back then, when DOS was the most widely used operating system, QB IDE enjoyed great popularity. On current Windows systems, QBasic / QuickBASIC requires a DOS emulator, e.g. <a href="https://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1">DOSBox</a>.</p>
<p class="fs-5 text-center px-0 mb-0"><b>Some more Features</b></p>
<p class="text-justify px-0 mb-0">No installation necessary, QBasic / <b>QuickBASIC</b> is portable and does't affect the system’s registry. When launching QB, a command line window opens that displays a couple of menus with access to standard functions such as editing, searching and debugging, just to name a few. Qbasic is ideally suited to all users, from beginners to experts; it's an impressive code interpreter including a powerful IDE.</p>
