Commodore BASIC

Commodore BASIC is a programming language interpreter embedded in the ROM of Commodore's 8-bit home computers, including the PET, VIC-20, and C64. It was developed by Microsoft and licensed to Commodore, serving as the primary user interface and programming environment for these machines.

This interpreter allowed users to write, edit, and execute programs directly on their Commodore computers. It was widely used by hobbyists, students, and developers for creating games, utilities, and educational software, providing an accessible entry point into computer programming during the 1980s.
