BASIC

BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a high-level programming language designed for ease of use. It was developed in the 1960s to enable students and non-specialists to write computer programs.

BASIC is primarily used for teaching fundamental programming concepts and for developing simple applications. Its straightforward syntax and interactive interpreters made it popular for personal computing in its early days, and it remains a foundational language for those learning to code.
