Pascal

It's a basic programming language like C. Not close to C though. Learnt it like 3 years ago. It's extinct just like what javathehut said.
 
Pascal is an older programming language. It is more strict than C (ie it doesn't allow you to mess up your computer and enforces better programming habits).

It is not dead though. It is the basis of Borland's Delphi, which is a "visual" programming language and competes with Visual C++ and those types of languages.
 
OK thanks for the replies, can you guys tell me how hard it is to learn, and how long it takes to learn? Thanks.
 
I would say average difficulty. Its very much like C, so it would amost be more worthwhile to go that route. Pascal is pretty powerful, but never really made the impact other languages did. There isnt a huge Delphi community either.
 
i'm currently a computer engineering major at the University of Central FLorida, and i took both Pascal and C. i would say pascal is simpler than C, and it only gets more difficult from there (with the exception of Visual Basic...i heard that language is cake). anyways, Pascal is dead to the programming world, but not to universities. like javathehut said, it is now used for teaching purposes mainly. that explains its simplicity. it is a programming language now used to teach people how to program. it basically has not real world use anymore.
