Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does the "Q" in QBasic stand for?

Answer: quick

QBasic means "Quick Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code".

2. Are you allowed to use numbers (e.g. 342) as labels n QBasic?

Answer: Yes

You can use any numbers or letters as long as they don't have spaces or they aren't exactly the same as a variable name.

3. What command do you use if you want your program to play music?

Answer: PLAY

To play music, you can put a variable name instead of the actual letters so that the user can choose the notes he/she wants to play.

4. How can you delete something on the hard drive in QBasic?

Answer: KILL

KILL can delete anything on any hard drive or A: floppy disk drive.

5. What is the correct way of writing something on the screen?

Answer: PRINT "Hello, World"

You can also write something on the screen that is a variable. Use this code to do that: PRINT $VARIABLE_NAME_HERE

6. How do you draw pixels in QBasic?

Answer: PSET

You need to put "SCREEN [number here]" before you draw graphics in QBasic.

7. Do people still program in QBasic in the twenty-first century?

Answer: Yes

QBasic isn't the best programming language, but it's easy to learn and will probably be around for a long time.

8. Which version of QBasic can make programs into .EXE files?

Answer: QB 4.5

There is also a QB 7.1 that has lots of extra features, but it's very hard to find.

9. Which of these do you use to finish a program?

Answer: END

STOP also works, but STOP makes the program stop all of a sudden. It then goes to your code and highlights the line of code it was running when it came to the STOP command, so STOP is only used while working on the program, and END is used when you finish the program.

10. QBasic was developed by which company?

Answer: Microsoft

QBasic dates from 1991 and was used with various operating systems, including MS-DOS, Windows 95 and Windows 98.
