Pascal

Pascal is a high-level programming language developed in the 1970s by Niklaus Wirth. It was named after the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal. Pascal was designed to be a simple and efficient language for teaching programming concepts, and it has been used extensively in education and industry.

Pascal is a strongly-typed language, which means that it requires variables to be declared with specific data types before they can be used. It also supports structured programming constructs such as loops and conditional statements, as well as modular programming through the use of procedures and functions.

One of the most popular implementations of Pascal is the Borland Delphi development environment, which provides support for object-oriented programming and graphical user interface (GUI) design. Pascal has also influenced the development of other programming languages, such as Ada and Modula-2.
