Lesson 1: QBASIC and the PRINT Statement

4. Syntax
2. Learning Objectives This is the simple way to use PRINT:
After this lesson, you will be able to: PRINT "message"
• Tell what a program is Rules:
• Tell what QBASIC is • The word must be PRINT
• Use PRINT to show text on the screen • Text must be inside double quotes " "
• Run a simple QBASIC program • Each line runs from top to bottom

3. Concept Explanation (Very Simple Language + 5. Fully Commented Example Program (With Very
Real-Life Examples) Clear Meaning)
A computer is like a robot. REM Lesson 1 program
A robot needs instructions.
A computer also needs instructions. REM This program shows messages on the screen

A program is a set of instructions.

We write the instructions.
PRINT "Hello World"
The computer follows them.
PRINT "My name is Riya"
Real-life examples
PRINT "I am learning QBASIC"
• If your teacher says: “Open your book.”
That is an instruction.

• If your mother says: “Bring water.” 6. Program Output

That is an instruction.
When you run the program, you will see:
• If you tell a friend: “Write your name.”
Hello World
That is an instruction.
My name is Riya
A computer is the same.
It will do only what we tell it to do. I am learning QBASIC
What is QBASIC?

QBASIC is a simple computer language. 7. Step-by-Step Explanation of the Code (Every Line

• REM means “This is a note for humans.” PRINT "Hello"

• It helps us understand the program. Reason: Text must be inside " ".

• The computer does not run this line.

• The computer ignores it. Mistake 2: Spelling PRINT wrong

Line 2: Wrong:
REM This program shows messages on the screen PRNT "Hello"
• This is also a note. Correct:
• It tells what the program does. PRINT "Hello"
• Again, the computer ignores this line. Reason: The computer needs the correct word.
Line 3:

PRINT "Hello World" Mistake 3: Using single quotes for text

• PRINT tells the computer: “Show something.” Wrong:
• "Hello World" is the message. PRINT 'Hello'
• The message is inside quotes.
Correct:
• The computer displays: Hello World
PRINT "Hello"
Line 4:
Reason: Text must use double quotes in QBASIC.
PRINT "My name is Riya"

• The computer reads this next.

9. Practice Exercises (Easy to Moderate)
• It shows the message: My name is Riya
1. Print your name
• You can change Riya to your name.
2. Print your school name
Line 5:
3. Print “I love computers”
PRINT "I am learning QBASIC"
4. Print any 3 lines about yourself (3 PRINT lines)
• This is the last line.
5. Print:
• The computer shows: I am learning QBASIC
o “My class is ____”
• Then the program ends.
o “My roll number is ____”

• FOR I = 1 TO 5
Doing the same work many times is called repetition. The loop starts.
I becomes 1 first.
A loop is used for repetition in programming.
• PRINT I
The FOR…NEXT loop tells the computer:
The computer prints the value of I.
“Do this work again and again for a fixed number
of times.” • NEXT I
The value of I increases by 1.
The loop repeats.

INPUT CHOICE 'Takes operation choice
• Think step by step like a programmer
INPUT A 'First number

INPUT B 'Second number

3. Concept Explanation (Very Simple Language +
Real-Life Examples)

A real program uses many ideas together. SELECT CASE CHOICE

Real-life examples: CASE 1

• A calculator uses numbers and choices PRINT "Result = "; A + B

• A report card uses marks and averages CASE 2

• A game uses input, checking, and repeating PRINT "Result = "; A - B

In this lesson: CASE 3

• You will build small but complete programs PRINT "Result = "; A * B

• Each program uses many concepts together CASE 4

IF B <> 0 THEN

4. Syntax PRINT "Result = "; A / B

There is no single syntax here. ELSE

We combine:
PRINT "Cannot divide by zero"
• INPUT
END IF
• PRINT
CASE ELSE

PRINT "Wrong choice"

END SELECT PRINT "Average Marks = "; AVG

6. Program Output (Program 1) 9. Program Output (Program 2)

If user enters: If user enters:

1 60

5 70

3 80

Output: 90

Result = 8 100

Output:

7. Step-by-Step Explanation of Program 1 Average Marks = 80

• Menu is printed using PRINT

• User selects an option 10. Step-by-Step Explanation of Program 2

• Two numbers are entered • SUM starts from 0

• SELECT CASE checks the choice • FOR loop runs 5 times

• Correct calculation is done • Marks are added

• Result is printed • Average is calculated

• Result is printed

8. Fully Commented Example Program 2

Program 2: Find Average of Marks 11. Fully Commented Example Program 3

REM Program to find average marks Program 3: Number Guessing Game

REM Number guessing game

SUM = 0

SECRET = 7 'Fixed secret number

FOR I = 1 TO 5

INPUT M 'Takes marks WHILE 1 = 1 'Loop runs again and again

SUM = SUM + M 'Adds marks INPUT GUESS 'User guesses number

NEXT I

IF GUESS = SECRET THEN

AVG = SUM / 5 'Calculates average PRINT "Correct Guess!"

END 1. Create a calculator for only addition and
subtraction
ELSE
2. Find average of 3 numbers
PRINT "Try Again"
3. Guess a number between 1 and 5
END IF
4. Print result PASS or FAIL using average
WEND
5. Create a menu for subjects

12. Program Output (Program 3)

16. Homework Challenge
If user enters:
Homework
5
Create a program that:
Output:
• Inputs marks of 5 subjects
Try Again
• Finds total and average
If user enters:
• Prints PASS if average ≥ 40
7
• Else prints FAIL
Output:
Bonus
Correct Guess!
Add:

• Grade using SELECT CASE

13. Step-by-Step Explanation of Program 3

• SECRET number is stored

Congratulations!
• WHILE loop runs continuously
You have completed the QBASIC Beginner Course.
• User enters a guess
You can now write simple programs on your own
• IF checks the guess

• Program ends when correct

14. Common Mistakes

• Forgetting END in infinite loops

• Division by zero

• Wrong menu choice handling

• Forgetting to update variables
