## Introduction
MY-BASIC is a lightweight cross-platform easy extendable BASIC interpreter written in pure C with about 13,000 lines of source code. MY-BASIC is a dynamic typed programming language. It supports structured grammar, and implements a style of OOP called [prototype-based](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming) programming paradigm. It is aimed to be either an embeddable scripting language or a standalone interpreter. The core is pretty light; all in a C source file and an associated header file; simpleness of source file layout and tightness dependency make it feels extraordinarily tough. It's able to easily combine MY-BASIC with an existing project in C, C++, Objective-C, etc. Script driven can make your projects more powerful, elegant and neat.

## Main features
MY-BASIC is a dynamic typed programming language with BASIC syntax and has a very dynamic nature; it makes it easy to use and powerful. MY-BASIC offers a wide range of features like:
* It is totally **free** to use MY-BASIC for individual or commercial purpose under the MIT license
* Written in clean **ANSI C**, source code is portable for a dozen of platforms
* With most modern BASIC syntax
* With most both retro and modern BASIC syntax
* Case-insensitive tokenization
* **[Prototype-based](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming)** (OOP) paradigm
* **Lightweight** (within memory usage less than 128KB) and fast
* Case-insensitive tokenization
* **Dynamic typed** integer, float point, string, boolean, user defined data types, etc. with array support
* Standard numeric functions, and standard string functions
* Referenced usertype support
