Editing SmallBASIC (section)

== Syntax ==

The syntax of SmallBASIC has a lot in common with [[QBasic]].  [[Line number]]s are not required, and statements are terminated by [[newline]]s. Multiple statements may be written on a single line by separating each statement with a [[colon (punctuation)|colon]] (:)

An example [["Hello, World!" program]] is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="qbasic">
PRINT "Hello, World!"
</syntaxhighlight>

An example of how SmallBASIC allows to load an image file and display the image:

<syntaxhighlight lang="qbasic">
I = IMAGE("image_name.png")  'Loads a png file
I.SHOW(100,100) 'shows the image on screen at the coordinates 100,100 
</syntaxhighlight>
