podstawowybasic

Podstawowybasic is a simplified variant of the BASIC programming language designed for Polish-speaking beginners. The name blends the Polish word podstawowy, meaning basic or fundamental, with BASIC, signaling its educational purpose.

Its design goals are to minimize syntax complexity, provide immediate feedback, and make program structure easy to understand for learners. The language preserves familiar BASIC elements such as line numbers, simple statements, and straightforward control flow while limiting advanced features to reduce cognitive load.

Key features include a small set of commands for input and output, numeric and string variables, and common control structures such as IF...THEN, FOR...NEXT, and GOTO. The syntax is designed to be readable, with concise error messages and documentation available in Polish. Although inspired by classic BASIC, podstawowybasic emphasizes a safe, forgiving environment suitable for classrooms and self-study.

Execution typically occurs in an interpreted environment that runs on major desktop operating systems and is accessible via a browser-based IDE. Many educational resources accompany the language, including tutorials, exercises, and sample projects to reinforce fundamentals.

Example program (illustrative):

10 PRINT "Witaj świecie"

20 INPUT "Podaj liczbę: ", N

30 IF N > 10 THEN 40

40 PRINT "Liczba większa niż 10"

50 END

Podstawowybasic is a notional language used to illustrate the concept of beginner-friendly BASIC variants. It serves as a teaching aid rather than a widely adopted standard and remains primarily of interest to educators and hobbyists exploring Polish-language programming education.
