See This must match ``EXAMPLES_BASTEST_DEVMINOR``. Used for registering the RAM block driver that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the BASIC files to be tested. Default: ``/dev/ram0``. + +Background +---------- + +Bas is an interpreter for the classic dialect of the programming language BASIC. +It is pretty compatible to typical BASIC interpreters of the 1980s, unlike some +other UNIX BASIC interpreters, that implement a different syntax, breaking +compatibility to existing programs. Bas offers many ANSI BASIC statements for +structured programming, such as procedures, local variables and various loop +types. Further there are matrix operations, automatic LIST indentation and many +statements and functions found in specific classic dialects. Line numbers are +not required. + +The interpreter tokenises the source and resolves references to variables and +jump targets before running the program. This compilation pass increases +efficiency and catches syntax errors, type errors and references to variables +that are never initialised. Bas is written in ANSI C for UNIX systems. + +License +------- + +BAS `2.4` is released as part of NuttX under the standard 3-clause BSD license +use by all components of NuttX.
