What is Qbasic?

QBasic is a simple BASIC compiler that can be found on the Windows 98 Disk. Although not fancy and decorative, it is a text-based, non-visual compiler. Basic is a high-level programming language, and QBasic is just a program that compiles the programming language to binary for the computer to execute. No longer used by Microsoft. Full form of Ms-Q-basic is Microsoft Quick Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code


Is there a modern equivalent of Qbasic?

Before QBASIC there was... BASIC BASICA The QBASIC programming language is a modern form of old BASIC programming languages which came before it; these older BASIC's used such things as, line numbers. 10 PRINT "Hello, world!" : REM *** Old BASIC line statement QBASIC code, however, doesn't need to use line numbers, anymore; and, this creates much simpler/clearer/cleaner code/which is also quicker to write/debug. PRINT "Hello, world" '*** QBASIC line statement However, now-a-days, QBASIC is a rather outdated programming language which has been superceded by... VB/Visual BASIC VBA/Visual BASIC for Applications VBScript/Visual BASIC Script VB.NET/Visual BASIC.NET VB.NET, is the latest BASIC programming language version offering from the software company, Microsoft. The Visual BASIC family of programming languages uses OOP/Object Oriented Programming techniques; where you can use a library of pre-built software objects; this makes coding much faster...leading to RAD/Rapid Application Development...because it means that by making full use of these re-usable software objects; then, programmers can write much less code; which in some cases can cut software development time down by half/or, more...!

Is Q-Basic an efficient language for most programming?

No. Q-Basic is no longer supported by it's creator and therefore should not be used. Qbasic was designed to work with the old MS-DOS or similar operating systems. Programs written in Qbasic can't take advantage of the resources available in modern operating systems. I would recommend using something like Visual Basic, VB.Net, C++, Java or one of several programming languages available today.
