Turbo BASIC

   

Turbo BASIC is a programming language originally created by Bob Zales and bought from him by Borland. When Borland decided to stop publishing it, Zales bought it back from them, renamed it as PowerBASIC and set up the PowerBASIC company to continue support and development of it. It is still sold today.

Code Sample

INPUT "What is your name"; A$

  S$ = ""
  INPUT "How many stars do you want to print"; S
  FOR I = 1 TO S
    S$ = S$ + "*"
  NEXT I
  PRINT S$
  DO 
    INPUT "Do you want to print more stars"; Q$
  LOOP WHILE LEN(Q$) = 0
  Q$ = LEFT$(Q$, 1)
LOOP WHILE (Q$ = "Y") OR (Q$ = "y")
PRINT "Goodbye "; A$
