Description

The classic Basic programming language for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Programming language is a perfect tool for studying, complex mathematical calculation, entertainment and many other useful tasks. The application is especially useful for learning the Basic programming language. You have to buy compilations inside the application. Internet connection is required. - The great programming tool on the AppStore. - Your programming language for iOS is amazing! * FEATURES * - Compile and run your program. - Text input before program run and text output. - Enhanced source code editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, color themes and additional keyboard. - Online language reference and several program samples. * LIMITATIONS * - Internet connection is required to compile and run a program. - Graphics, network, file system and real-time input are not supported. - Maximum running time of a program is 15 seconds. - Only the simplest Basic syntax is supported. Look for the "Visual Basic Programming Language" on the AppStore too. Thanks for using the application! ==================================== 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. The original Dartmouth Basic was designed in 1964 by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, USA to provide computer access to non-science students. At the time, nearly all use of computers required writing custom software, which was something only scientists and mathematicians tended to do. The language and its variants became widespread on microcomputers in the late 1970s and 1980s, when it was typically a standard feature, and often actually built into the firmware of the machine. Basic remains popular to this day in a handful of highly modified dialects and new languages influenced by Basic such as Microsoft Visual Basic. In 2006, 59% of developers for the .Net Framework used Visual Basic .Net as their only programming language. Before the mid-1960s, computers were extremely expensive and used only for special-purpose tasks. A simple batch processing arrangement ran only a single "job" at a time, one after another. But during the 1960s faster and more affordable computers became available. and as prices decreased newer computer systems supported time-sharing, a system which allows multiple users or processes to use the CPU and memory. In such a system the operating system alternates between running processes, giving each one running time on the CPU before switching to another. The machines had become fast enough that most users could feel they had the machine all to themselves. By this point the problem of interacting with the computer was a concern. In the batch processing model, users never interacted with the machine directly, instead they tended their jobs to the computer operators. Under the time-sharing model the users were given individual computer terminals and interacted directly. The need for system to simplify this experience, from command line interpreters to programming languages was an area of intense research during the 1960s and 70s.

    I agree. Why pay for an ap right off the bat?
  • Pro Apple Basics Con No trial period

    I really like how your program supports the classic Apple Basics. Why require the user to purchase compiles right off the bat? How do I know if I like the interpreter or not? I think it’s a great way to have money coming in. Maybe the first five or six tries are free.

    This app simply does not work. Support is useless.

    IF C >= BV(n) THEN B(n) = B(n) + 1:C = C - BV(n) This should only execute the second statement if condition is met, but it always executed it.

    Input statement does not allow you to input with the keyboard.
  • Bad compiler.

    First off, for the others looking at the reviews, If you want something to program on, just use Apple ][js. Its on the internet. Now for a message directed to the developer. Before you put in a lazy, automated message, I would like you to explain how in the world you think that the "pay before you use" thing works. Hell, Winzip lets you use their program for free; EVEN IF IT PROMPTS YOU TO BUY. Why not do that instead?
  • F**k this app

    You have to buy stuff in order to even use it! 0/10

    So, I'll reserve comment
  • For a dollar..

    I'll save your dollar. The reference for its commands is lacking severely. You get a list to various basic dialects.. not a specific document created for THIS compiler. It has no program output. It only runs in the compiler. I am going to request a refund from apple. Not a happy buyer... even for a dollar.

    Doesn't handle the most basic of BASIC commands.
