The BEEP statement produces a beep sound through the sound card.
Syntax
Description
- The BEEP statement can be used anywhere in the code to alert the user that there is something to attend to or an error has occurred.
- QB64 produces the actual "beep" sound through the PC's sound card, emulating QBasic's beeping through the PC speaker.
Availability
- There used to be the ability to produce a beep by printing CHR$(7) to the screen. This functionality was no longer available since QB64 v0.960, when SDL audio was exchanged by OpenAL audio.
- In QB64-PE v4.0.0 the beeping functionality using PRINT CHR$(7) has been restored.
