BASIC

BASIC stands for Beginner’s All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code; it is a high-level language that has been structured to be easy to use. It was created in 1963 at Dartmouth College, by two professors John G.Kemen and, Thomas E. Kurtz with the basic aim of making coding easier for new programmers.

The language had simple structures of syntax and easy-to-enter commands which contributed to the making of programming more common by the public. Another fundamental capability that is characteristic of BASIC refers to the opportunity that programmers have to type single lines of code which are then directly translated into machine code.
