Purpose: Develop a simple course in Japanese to teach the kids BASIC
programming.
* Materials to develop
** Short command reference/tutorial
** Japanize a few sample programs
* Dartmouth BASIC manual
"An Example": statement numbers, reserve words, READ, DATA, LET,
IF-THEN, PRINT, GO TO, END.
"Expressions, Numbers, and Variables": +-*/^(), order of operation,
variables, formulae, standard functions (SIN(), COS(), TAN(), ATN(),
EXP(), ABS(), LOG(), SQR()).
"Loops": With IF-THEN, GO TO, FOR, NEXT
"Summary of Elementary BASIC Statements": LET, READ and DATA, PRINT,
GO TO and IF-THEN, FOR and NEXT, END
** More Advanced BASIC
"More About PRINT": Tabular formatting with comma.
"Lists and Tables": Arrays, DIM.
"Functions and Subroutines": Functions INT() and RND(), DEF, GOSUB,
RETURN. GOSUB may not be used inside a subroutine.
"Some Ideas for More Advanced Programmers": REM, STOP, rounding
