BASIC
(redirected from canonic)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.05 sec.

BASIC

High-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.
