Why is C++ is Better than QuickBasic?
Many C++ coders laugh when you or I tell them we code Qbasic. Of course, you can do much more with C++, right?
You can very well see what this does in QB:
CLS
PRINT "Welcome to the newB QB Program!"
PRINT "I like mustard!"
DO
UNTIL INKEY$ <> ""
In C++, you would say:
#include
#include
void main(void)
{
clrscr();
printf("Welcome to the newB C++ Program!\n")
printf("I like mustard!");
getch();
}
QuickBasic is much more powerful than C or C++.
Any version, VC++, TC++, C++ Builder.
Furthermore, QuickBasic is more powerful than Assembly, Visual Basic, PASCAL, Python, Java, and PowerBasic. I have proof to back this up. In fact, QuickBasic is the most powerful programming language in history. I will now openly admit that I have constructed 3 complete operating systems in QuickBasic. One was built on AI concepts, the second was made in the image of MS-DOS, but ran twice as fast, and the third, called Piccolo, supported: MS-DOS, Unix, Linux, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Macintosh, Amiga, Solaris, Windows CE, BeOS, and PalmOS executables. Among my other accomplishments are: An MP3 player. A PC speaker MP3 player, a full-screen SVGA AVI/MOV/RM player. A web browser with 100% support for HTML, JavaScript, Java, CSS, XML, XHTML, SGML, and SHTML; An image editor with support for: BMP, .PCX, .GIF, .JPG, .ICO, .CUR, .ANI, .AVI, .MPG in SVGA with Anti-Aliasing and over 80 effects; a Windows shell that allows you to animate scrollbars, fonts, and the Start menu; a Windows 95/98 patch that went a record 600 days without crashing while running four AVI's and three CD Burners 24/7. I also coded a program that automatically detects and/or constructs graphics and sound card drivers then installs them. I did an artificial intelligence program called GAHIRIS, which could operate a robotic arm through COM1 or COM2. I made a 3D modeler and animator that can render 2 million polygons per second and 500 animated textures, full anti-aliased at 60 fps on a 486-66 Mhz. Unfortunately, I lost the floppy carrying all of this stuff. Needless to say I am very disappointed. It took me literally 4 months to do all of this. Four months of work down the drain. I will not do it over again because I don't think anyone really wants to see that kind of thing. Oh well, I hope I have convinced you that QuickBasic can fulfill your every desire.
