BBC BASIC, based on the older Atom BASIC , extended traditional BASIC with named procedures and functions, REPEAT-UNTIL loops, and IF-THEN-ELSE structures. The interpreter also included powerful statements for controlling the BBC Micro's four-channel sound output and its high-resolution graphics display. Significantly, BBC BASIC was also fitted with an easily accessible in-line assembler, allowing programmers to write 6502 assembly language programs directly in BASIC code. This was a unique feature among home/personal computer BASIC interpreters at the time.

A U.S. market version was produced for Acorn's abortive attempt to enter the cross Atlantic computer market - the only difference was in the spelling of commands such as COLOR.

Newer versions of BBC BASIC were delivered as standard on the Acorn Archimedes and the Risc PC. Current versions of RISC OS still contain a BBC BASIC interpreter.

A Zilog Z80The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed and manufactured by Zilog from 1976 onwards. It was widely used both in desktop and embedded computer designs, and is one of the most popular CPUs of all time. Although Zilog made several attempts to move-version of BBC BASIC was later used on the Tiki 100Tiki 100 was a desktop home/ personal computer manufactured by Tiki Data of Oslo, Norway. Lauched in the spring of 1984 under the original name Kontiki¹ 100 the computer was first and foremost intended for the emerging educational sector, especially for p desktop computer, Cambridge Z88The Cambridge Z88 was an A4-size, lightweight, portable Z80-based computer with a built-in combined word processing/ spreadsheet/ database application called Pipedream along with several other apps/utilities, such as a Z80-version of BBC BASIC. Despite th portable, and the Amstrad NC100The Amstrad NC100 was an A4-size, portable Z80-based computer, released by Amstrad in 1992. It featured 64 KB of RAM and included the Protext word processor, various organiser-like facilities (diary, address book and time manager), a simple calculator and Notepad and NC200 Notebook computers. It was also implemented on the PCIBM PC compatible refers to a class of computers which make up the vast majority of smaller computers ( microcomputers) on the market today. They are based (without IBM's participation) on the original IBM PC. They use the Intel x86 architecture and are c as BBCBASIC (86) (which aimed for maximum compatability with the BBC Micro) and BBasic (which concentrated on the BASIC language itself, with its own enhancements). In January 20022002 is a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). 2002 was the first palindromic year since 1991 and the last until 2112. 2002 was also designated: International Year of Ecotourism and Mountains National Science Year in the United Kingdom it was also ported to the ZX SpectrumThe Sinclair ZX Spectrum was a small home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research. Based on a Zilog Z80 CPU running at 3. 50 MHz, the Spectrum came with either 16 KB or 48KB of RAM (an expansion pack was also available to upgr.
