The original BASIC would be considered an "interpreted" language; the instructions were never translated to machine code, but rather executed as the interpreter reads them. Visual Basic converts the commands into equivalent C++ programs, and then compiles them.
"BASIC" is not a program, it is a programming language. A particular BASIC-interpreter or IDE may have been written in a high level language, maybe even in BASIC (C is more plausible though).
The programming language: Visual Basic is a BASIC-like (or BASIC-derived) language, Visual C is... well C.
Computers are machines that are designed to handle basic instructions (such as moving memory addresses to and from registers). These instructions are sent to the machine in a simple binary sequence known as machine code, the native language of the computer. It is extremely difficult for a person to work purely in machine code, thus interface programs have been created that will take instructions and convert them into machine-executable programs. The simplest of these languages is known as Assembly Language, which replaces the instructions with a set of easily-remembered symbols, such as MOV and JMP. Assembly Language is a low-level language as there is very little abstraction between the language and the resulting machine code.C is a high-level programming language that references a library of Assembly Language instructions that allows a person to create highly-efficient machine code, akin to that of Assembly itself. It is highly-abstract, insofar as a single instruction in C will generate two or more Assembly instructions, however these Assembly instructions can be tweaked, if necessary, or the programmer can choose to include raw Assembly instructions within their C programs. In other words, it is a highly-flexible language.The C language evolved from B, which was itself a subset of BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language). By the same token, C++ evolved from C (although it was originally called C with Classes). These names were chosen to give an indication of their inheritance. The letter C is the natural successor to the letter B, while C++ is a play on words using C-style code, whereby C++ means C=C+1, which literally means the successor to C.

C language doesn't have commands only instructions. Sadly, 'find' is not an instruction in C, you might have misunderstood something.

No, BASIC is, for example.
