BASIC BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages designed for ease of use. The original version was created by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College ...

. It is proprietary software and can be tried out for free for 30 days. Ubercode has the following design goals: # ''Compilable language''—compiled into Windows EXE files. # ''Automatic memory management''—memory is allocated / freed automatically, and the language has no memory management primitives. # ''Pre and post conditions''—these are run-time assertions which are attached to function declarations, as in

. # ''High-level data types''—resizable arrays, lists and tables may contain arbitrary components. # ''Integrated file handling''—primitives for transparent handling of text, binary, CSV, XML and dBase files. # ''Ease of use''—language structure is relatively simple, making the language accessible to beginners.

Here is the basic

"Hello, World!" program A "Hello, World!" program is generally a computer program that ignores any input and outputs or displays a message similar to "Hello, World!". A small piece of code in most general-purpose programming languages, this program is used to illustr ...

Preconditions and Postconditions

postcondition In computer programming, a postcondition is a condition or predicate that must always be true just after the execution of some section of code or after an operation in a formal specification. Postconditions are sometimes tested using assertions wit ...

s. In the example, the ''IntToStr'' function validates its input as a string before converting it to an integer:

  Ubercode 1 class PrePost

  code
    call Val(mystr, value)
  end function

  public function main()
  code
    call Msgbox("OOP example", "IntToStr(10) = " + IntToStr("10"))
  end function
