QBasic is an IDE and interpreter for a variant of the BASIC programming language. It was part of the Microsoft QuickBASIC development environment that came with MS-DOS in the 1990s and early 2000s. QBasic's editor lets users write, edit, and debug programs with tools for syntax checking and code completion. Owing to its simplicity, it has been widely used as an educational tool for introducing beginners to programming concepts like variables, loops, conditional statements, subroutines (including gosub) or procedures (including gosub... return), arrays (both numeric & string), error handling etc in depth step by step.
