FOZZER_BASIC language program

stephan,

Here's something to keep in your files:

"How to Interpret an Aircraft.cfg."

(this might be incorrect, but here goes...):

10 PRINT "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? (1=Y 2=N)"
20 INPUT 1 OR 2
30 IF 20=1 THEN PRINT 50
40 IF 20=2 THEN PRINT 60
50 PRINT "IF YOU DO, THEN YOU'RE A SMARTER MAN THAN I!"
60 PRINT "DON'T FEEL BAD; MANY DON'T EITHER, INCLUDING MYSELF...!"
70 END

stephan,

Like Paul, the only real exposure I had with BASIC was playing the OLD Star Trek game on the TTY at school, almost forty years ago! As far as computer skills go, I probably know just enough to be a mortal danger to anyone asking assistance from
me. Other than that, I'm pretty much worthless...

BASIC is still used in teaching, used a java implementation (jBasic) in my second year of uni and I did rather enjoy writing a few small programs in it It was a simpler time. When a GOTO was considered a valid method to shift control to another part of the program

I learned BASIC on a mainframe at UMass back in the late 60's using PUNCH CARDS! Then on to Fortran and Cobol.

Had a number of the Sinclair ZX-81s and spent years customizing them and writing code.

Thanks for the memories.

best,

I am curious about this little device that hits the headlines every now and again...

the "Raspberry Pi Computer" by Farnell ..>>>

I just wonder what form of Language it uses, and if that includes BASIC.
I haven't looked into it deeply so far, but there are/is lots of info on it, on the Internet!

Paul...GOSUB and up periscope.. 8-)...!

I still use the wonderful Sinclair Basic, and Zilog Z80 Machine Code, for various applications.

Fozzer,

The Raspberry Pi is hardware.  It speaks whatever language (operating system) is installed on it.

Most people use some version of Linux.

The Raspberry pi will run any language that will run on Linux , such as tinyBASIC , on the Raspbian distro python is installed by default and ready to use as soon as you boot into the OS, but adding other compilers/run times is not a tasking job
