Can someone give me the 411 on QBasic Programming...ie. what is it, how does it work, etc? I'd greatly appreciate it.....
IIRC, it is basically the same thing as Basic.(a beginner programming language) you should be able to find tuts on Basic easily.
It's a programming language using the basic syntax that shipped with DOS. It's pretty old and probably not used much any more. Wikipedia article - It has a breif overview with links to other sites about it.
thats a helluva question tiger It is difficult to even find much on the original BASIC language...the Wikipedia entry was the first one I could find that wasnt Visual Basic( BASIC programming with a user interface) Visual Basic is what you want if you are interested in learning basic(as in beginner) programming. Maybe if you could say why you want to know, we could better answer what you need
Well, that'll be a question I'll have to ask my sister. She's the one needing the info....I decided to be a good brother and help out. So this was the first place I came....I figured there's no better place to find the info then here. She'll be home from college in a few minutes....I'll ask her what's up. And for the YoYao's of the forum, no you cannot have her phone number.
she's back....says its to run a program. She did this in high shcool and cant remember what she did..... She say's "After you're finished running a program, and it asks "redo from start" what do you do?" She typed "Y" for "Yes" and no luck..... Hope this helps cuz I'm lost. Think I'll stick to my love an knowledge of the Autmobile and leave the computer stuff to you guys and my sis.
I don't know Qbasic but has she tried "yes"? Seriously, some times it's just like that. Like how some languages use substr() and others make you spell out substring()
In a sarcastic tone, she tells me.....I typed "YES" too. PS...while she's away, what the hell is up with B*tches nowadays. Sarcasm for every freakin thing...."Do you want fries with your burger honey....Duh you freakin moron," says b*tch. Eff off you supposedly independent b*thces.....bet you'll be nice when you need my ass to change your oil in your car so you can go to the mall. All I know is after I change that oil, I'm doin some maintainence work on that ass of yours next, whether you like it or not so you better get "lubed" down there really quick cuz I aint lickin dammit.....sorry for the rant, I've had a few....
Man, get you head out of the gutter.....I'm talkin about all b****es in general....like my girlfriend (soon to be ex) There effin pissin me off... I can care less bout my sis....wheneve she starts her crap, just ignore her and she'll get the picture, leave me alone and start complainin to her man.
She has typed "Y". Has she typed "y"? "YES"? "yes"? Also, how is she running the program? Is it an "executable"? Even if it is you MAY be able to have a look at some of it via wordpad. See if there are any strings. For example, you should be able to see the character string "redo from start". You may also be able to see what the program expects as input.

This deserves a new thread. I am willing to add some "effin" comments myself, too. Yeah, you won't say that when you're married, though... "B*tches nowadays." nice...
I'm curious why you don't google this. No one in this forum could possibly be getting paid to develop using QBasic.
that is true, but considering the sheer amount of computer science geeks and former geeks in this forum, it isnt unreasonale to expect that a thread posted for info would yield results. I understand why he didnt directly google for info....he probably wouldnt have understood what he found...being a non-compsci type...so asked for it explained in a way that could be easily understood. now....at this point...she needs to spend some time at the link that was provided to refresh her memory as to what she shoudl do next....there aint a whole lot we can do to help short of seeing the source code ourselves.
