'''BASIC''' is an acronym for Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. It is a Programming Language invented at Dartmouth College in 1964 by mathematicians John George Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz for the purpose of teaching elementary programming. BASIC has since been defined in two ANSI (X3.60-1978 and X3.113-1987) and two ISO (6373:1984 and ISO/IEC 10279:1991) standards. Its simplicity has led to widespread use; interpreters and compilers exist for variants of BASIC on nearly every hardware platform in existance, but the most popular commercial version is Microsoft's [[Visual BASIC]].
