Pascal

Pascal - A high-level programming language designed to support structured programming and used in teaching, applications, and systems programming

Pascal is a precedual programming language. Pascal was developed in 1968-1969. In 1970, Pascal was published by Niklaus Wirth. He meant for it to be a small and efficient program to influence others to start programming. (Niklaus Wirth - http://www.nectec.or.th/courseware/computer/comp-techno/wirth.jpg) The pascal language was based on the ALGOL. This language was named after a famous French philosopher and mathmatician, Blaise Pascal.

A hello world program is a computer program that prints "Hello world" on a display devise similar to Microsoft QuickBasic by Microsoft. It is a very simple program and command. Different Programming use different commads to print "Hello world". Some are more complex than others. EXAMPLE FOR PASCAL : When using the Pascal language, to program something to say "hello world" you would have to type: program hello; begin writeln('Hello, world!'); end.

 * Pascal was critisized a lot after release
 * Critisizers claimed pascal was not "serious" enough for outside programming
 * The Apple Lisa and Macintosh depended on pasal
