'''BASIC notation''' is a particular implementation of infix notation where functions require their [[function argument|parameters]] to be in brackets.
 
This method was used from the 1980s to the 1990s in BASIC programmable calculators and [[pocket computer]]s. Texas Instruments would later implement the method in many of its graphing calculators, including the [[TI-83 series|TI-83]] and [[TI-84 Plus series]]. Most [[computer algebra systems]] (CASes) also use this as the default input method.
 
In BASIC notation, the formula is entered as it would be entered in [[BASIC]], using the <CODE>PRINT</CODE> command – the <CODE>PRINT</CODE> command itself being optional. On pressing "ENTER" or "=", the result would be displayed. As with standard infix notation, typing mistakes in the entered formula could be corrected using the same editor function as the one used when programming the calculator.
