For function that manipulate strings, modern object-oriented languages, like C# and Java have immutable strings and return a copy (in newly allocated dynamic memory), while others, like C manipulate the original string unless the programmer copies data to a new string.
LotusScript is a VBA variant available in Lotus SmartSuite and Lotus Notes. Later versions of Corel WordPerfect Office implement access to VBA as one of the macro/scripting languages, the other major ones being CorelScript and PerfectScript. Earlier versions of Microsoft Word use a variant of VB called WordBasic.
The STRING$ function makes copies of a given pattern string so that A$=STRING$(17, "X") will produce a string of 17 X's. [2] Only one manipulation function is included, MID$ , which works as in MS, but can also be used to replace characters in an existing string, MID$(A$,1,1)="Y" will replace the first letter of A$ with Y. INKEY$ returns the ...
Later versions of Dartmouth BASIC did include string variables, based on the same pattern found in BASIC-PLUS and MS BASIC. However, this version did not use the LEFT/MID/RIGHT functions for manipulating strings, but instead used the CHANGE command which converted the string to
Extended BASIC's primarily notable addition was string variables and a number of functions to operate on strings. String variables were indicated with the $ sign, as in most dialects, and could hold up to 256 characters. [20] String functions included the standard CHR$, STR$, LEFT$, RIGHT$, MID$, ASC and VAL. [21] Concatenation was performed ...
Notable among the additions made to BASIC-PLUS was the introduction of string functions like MID$ and LEFT$, in addition to Dartmouth's original all-purpose CHANGE command. In future versions of the language, notably Microsoft's, CHANGE was removed and BASIC-PLUS's string functions became the only ways to perform these sorts of operations. Most ...
Dartmouth BASIC is the original version of the BASIC programming language.It was designed by two professors at Dartmouth College, John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz.With the underlying Dartmouth Time-Sharing System (DTSS), it offered an interactive programming environment to all undergraduates as well as the larger university community.
Color BASIC is the implementation of Microsoft BASIC that is included in the ROM of the Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computers manufactured between 1980 and 1991. BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a high level language with simple syntax that makes it easy to write simple programs.
