What type of language is visual basic?

Answer 1

basic is a general purpose, high level programming language.

and the same is with the visual basic.

but the main difference is that, the earlier basic was the dos version language.

whereas the visual basic programming language is the language which is not DOS based.

but the simplicity in the language remains the same as in basic.

Answer 2

Visual Basic is derived from BASIC (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). Much of the language borrows from BASIC, but BASIC is a non-standard language. That is, you cannot expect code written in Visual Basic to be successfully interpreted by the QuickBASIC interpreter since they use different versions of the language; the code has to be completely re-written from scratch. Standardised languages, like C and C++, do not require any changes; provided the code does not make use of any non-standard features, the same code will compile on any compiler on any platform.

Answer 3

It is an OBJECT Oriented/Event Driven Language

Answer 4

Yes it is. It is very similar to Basic and even shares some keywords.
