TI BASIC is the language included in the TI-99/4 (1979) and TI-99/4A (1981) computers. It is similar to Dartmouth BASIC 6th edition. It does not have some features in Microsoft BASIC such as multi-statement lines, other statements after IF..THEN, PEEK, POKE, and USR. It's capabilites are between those of Minimal BASIC and GW-BASIC. It is slower than the BASIC in most other computers but it has high accuracy for calculations. |

It can be used to read and write data files on disk but it is not ideal for reading text files (known as DISPLAY/VARIABLE 80 in the TI file system) because the INPUT #X statement would stop reading a line before the end if it contained a comma. This problem was solved with TI Extended BASIC by the addition of the LINPUT #X statement which is like LINE INPUT# in Microsoft Disk BASIC. |

Many TI-99/4A owners had a TI Extended BASIC cartridge to write or use more advanced programs, including assembly language programs. Almost all TI BASIC programs would run correctly in TI Extended BASIC. |
