BASIC |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.05 sec. |
BASICHigh-level computer-programming language, developed in 1964, originally designed to take advantage of multiuser systems (which can be used by many people at the same time). The language is relatively easy to learn and is popular among microcomputer users. Most versions make use of an interpreter, which translates BASIC into machine code and allows programs to be entered and run with no intermediate translation. Some more recent versions of BASIC allow a compiler to be used for this process. How to thank TFD for its existence?

What's frustrating about Feld's work is his unvarying method of introducing phrase after phrase and repeating each in canonic permutations until the next motif replaces it--like watching insects going through genetically programmed routines for no apparent reason other than it's their destiny. Thanks to Compagnon's critical acumen and incisive research, we understand more clearly why and how the historical genetic approach to the Essais became the canonic way of presenting scholarship for seven decades. The grid-style layout of these eighteen clones suddenly felt at home in the world of Warhol, who, only months later, would offer his own mass-produced de Chirico show in Rome with assembly-line riff s on the canonic masterpieces. |
