BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)

BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a simple programming language developed in the 1960s to help beginners learn coding. It allows users to write instructions that computers can understand to perform tasks like calculations or displaying text. BASIC uses straightforward commands and is designed to be easy to read and write, making programming more accessible for newcomers. Over time, it became popular for teaching and early personal computers. While more advanced languages have emerged, BASIC helped open the door for many to understand and explore computer programming.
