WORKS. Could, indeed, approximate Pi as follows — somehow, this chokes many other BASICs: 10 stp = 0.01 20 lo = -2 30 hi = 2 40 sm = 0 50 x = lo 55 fct1 = sqr(4-x*x) 56 fct2 = x*x*x*cos(0.5*x) 59 fct3 = fct1*(0.5+fct2) 60 sm = sm+fct3 61 REM print sm fct1 fct2 fct3 70 x = x+stp 80 if x <= hi then goto 55 90 sm = sm*stp 100 print sm

I just found this app on my Chromebook and, having written hundreds of BASIC programs over the years, was excited to try it. I immediately wrote a small test program using input, goto, print, etc. There are some syntax differences from other BASICs I have used, of course. One thing I really want to do on the Chromebook is to play a wav file with a program command. I can't find the code that would do this. Is it possible? Starting off was very difficult, like trying to find where the 3 vertical dots were located. I think any new down-load should have at least a mini-tutorial. It would be nice to be able to also down-load a user guide more or less like the one that came with GW-Basic. I've got great hopes for this app because I've written quite a few utility programs just for my own use over the years and this is WAY EASIER than learning JavaScript!! Now problems are surfacing with the user interface: How do I exit small basic without having to bring up the task manager to kill it? Once I write a program and save it, how do I get back to open another scratch. Bas session for a different program?

Please fix with ASCII 0 or CHR(0) Detected as nothing on string arrays Example: a$=CHR(0)+CHR(1)+CHR(0)+CHR(255) count=len(a$) print "a$ length =", count for i=1 to count print "[", asc(mid$(a$, i,1)),"]", next I Result: a$ length = 2 [1] [255] And when I use TLOAD from file to the string array (TLOAD "binary.dat", a$,1). It can contain the ASCII 0 as like on the file perfectly. And when I give to another string array or modify the current string array, all the ASCII 0 is gone.

QBasic was my intro to programming, when I stumbled upon it in my middle school computer lab (it was already considered obsolete at that point, but I didn't learn that until after putting many hours into it!). I know this isn't QBasic, but it's similar enough to it that programming in it scratches the nostalgic itch I sometimes get. This is an excellent app, very well-made, & while the interface takes getting used to it becomes easy to figure out after a short time. I highly recommend this!

This is the worst app ever. I was using the samsung keyboard, and it showed "Samsung keyboard not supported. Kindly use another keyboard." When I used the Google keyboard, then too it showed the same message (in the place of Samsung there was Google). I am not even able to TYPE the program. Making it is so far. And there are MANY-MANY problems that I cannot even tell!!! The name is Small Basic, but it is very confusing. It is the WORST APP EVER MADE!!!!

It's not like Windows one and there is no editor to learn how should code with it!:)
