Example · generated

buffer = CreateComputeBuffer(10, "value")DO  Print(ComputeBufferType(buffer))  Sync()LOOP

CreateComputeBuffer is there to give the call something to act on; ComputeBufferType is the line that matters. The DO … LOOP is not decoration: a classic BASIC program ends the moment it runs out of lines, and Sync() is what draws the frame.
