QBasic Vs. QuickBASIC

Question

I want to learn "old school" programming. A friend suggested Q BASIC. But another person told me Quick Basic. I want to practice programming in the OLD Dos operating system.

What is the difference between the two Q Basic and Quick Basic?

Answer 1

Differences between QBasic and QuickBasic: QBasic is the slimmed-down version of QuickBasic. Compared to QuickBasic, QBasic is limited as it lacks a compiler. Therefore QBasic cannot be used to produce executables (.exe files). The source code (usually files with .bas extension) can only be executed immediately by the built-in QBasic interpreter.

Furthermore, QuickBasic has a more extensive command set than QBasic.
