## Syntax
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> [BEEP](BEEP)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* [BEEP](BEEP) can be placed anywhere to alert the user that there is something to do or an error has occurred.
|
||
|
|
* **QB64** produces the actual "beep" sound through the PC's sound card, to emulate QBasic's beeping through the [PC speaker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_speaker).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## QBasic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Older programs may attempt to produce a BEEP by printing [CHR$](CHR$)(7) to the screen. This is no longer supported in QB64 after **version 1.000**.
|
||
|
|
* You may have to replace instances of PRINT CHR$(7) in older programs to the [BEEP](BEEP) statement to maintain the legacy functionality.
