Quote:what i dont get is why they are tought LET REM and line numbers.Because any teacher who teaches QBASIC in school is a retard and is using material from the 1970's. And that is just that. *Period!*  (Sorry, I couldn't resist  )
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

I was taught those redundant things too...it came from my first expirience with QB - a book. Old, too.

Rhiannon pulled out a BASIC programming book from the storage area of our house a few weeks ago. It was pre-QB by about 10 years. Holy buttmonkeys was it outdated. Needless to say...we didn't use THAT book
so I started teaching her personally how to code in QB. So far so good too, she's learning quickly

but really LET x = 1 what's so hard about having it just being x = 1???

I wish I had had a personal teacher when I was beginning programming! My dad helped with logic...but I had to rely on myself+a couple crappy books and tutorials.
