Developed
at Dartmouth University by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz and
Introduced on May 1, 1964,
BASIC is short for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
BASIC is an easy-to-understand programming language that was popular
during
1970 - 1980.
Today, BASIC is not used to develop programs but is sometimes used to
help teach the fundamentals of programming. Below is an example of a
basic program that prints "Hello World!".

10 print "Hello World!"
20 END

Although BASIC is not commonly used today new variants of BASIC
such as Visual Basic are popular
and widely used.
