What programming language is this ?

Question

I have learned this what I beleive to be a type of Basic programming. Here is just a simple Hello World that loops to illustrate some commands :

Lbl 1
"Hello World"
Goto 1

variables are assigned like this :
" enter your name"?-->A

Anyone have any idea what the name of this language is and where can I get the compiler for it ?

but which version of basic

Answer 1

It's not a very standard BASIC, and it's definitely not Java. It's similar to the mangled BASIC that's used by a TI-83 programmable calculator.

An example program (linked in sources) shows:

: Lbl A
[...]
: Goto A

... so it has the same "Lbl" and "Goto" even with the uppercase first letter.

However, text is not displayed by just showing it:
"Hello World"
... it would be written:
Disp "Hello World"

Answer 2

He might be trying to say that you need to learn programming techniques and logic, rather than languages. This really is important, too. For instance, being able to hold a conversation in 15 human languages doesn't mean you can write an outstanding work of literature in any of them; and a really well written program is much like a really well written book, in that it needs to have many parts that fit together in non-obvious but effective ways.

Answer 3

It is by no means Java. It's BASIC.

Answer 4

it certainly could be BASIC, but i took it so long ago, i can't be sure.

Answer 5

Its called ' Java' :)
