    Question: QBASIC / QuickBASIC

    Are QBASIC and QuickBASIC the same thing? Every QBASIC tutorial I have read has sample codes which work fine in my QuickBASIC 4.5. In the decription for this forum, it says "...Quick Basic, QBASIC...". I am not sure if it is the same thing.
    I can help with C++, Java (some), vB, Ruby/RoR, Python, JavaScript, and TorqueScript

    They are the same thing.. if my memory is right, the only difference is that one (which you had to buy) can compile to exe files, and the other (which was included with the OS) cant.

    ehhh...

    There are some mild differences in available syntax, however virtually any code written for QBasic (QuickBasic version 1.1) will probably run in QB4.5 (QuickBasic 4.5). It's an obvious difference in version, since one is an earlier version than the other, just like code written in QB4 or QB4.5 should be okay running in PDS7/7.1 as well, but some "few features" obviously wouldn't be available in reverse.

    So yeah, they all are basicly the same thing, just different versions.
