The definition of PascalNamed after the mathematician Blaise Pascal, Pascal is a
language designed by Niklaus
Wirth originally in 1968 (and heavily revised in 1972)
mostly for purposes of education and training people how
to write computer programs. It is
a typically compiled language but
is still usually slower than C or
FORTRAN. Wirth also created a more
powerful object-oriented Pascal-like
language called Modula-2.
