=== BASIC ===

[[BASIC]] is a widespread programming language commonly adapted to desktop computers and pocket computers.

The most common [[programming language|languages]] now used in high range calculators are proprietary [[BASIC]]-style dialects as used by [[CASIO]] and [[Texas Instruments|TI]] <small>([[TI-BASIC]])</small>. These BASIC dialects are optimised for calculator use, combining the advantages of BASIC and keystroke programming. They have little in common with mainstream BASIC.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://insight4survey.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/kissane7400.pdf |title=Programming Casio FX-7400G+ |format=PDF |access-date= |accessdate=2014-03-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://insight4survey.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/casiobasic9850.pdf |title=Programming Casio BASIC on the CFX-9850 Series |format=PDF |access-date= |accessdate=2014-03-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com |title=TI-Basic Developer |publisher=Tibasicdev.wikidot.com |access-date= |accessdate=2014-03-23}}</ref> The version for the Ti-89 and subsequent is more fully featured, including the full set of string and character manipulation functions and statements in standard Basic.

A complete port of [[BBC Basic]] to the TI-83 subfamily of calculators is now available. It is installed via a cable or IrDA connection with a computer.
