pascal programming series- part 1

what is pascal?
      
Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, which Niklaus Wirth designed in 1968–69 and published in 1970, as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. It is named in honor of the French mathematician, philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal.
Pascal was developed on the pattern of the ALGOL 60 language. Wirth had already developed several improvements to this language as part of the ALGOL X proposals, but these were not accepted and Pascal was developed separately and released in 1970. A derivative known as Object Pascal designed for object-oriented programming was developed in 1985; this was used by Apple Computer and Borland in the late 1980s and later developed into Delphi on the Microsoft Windows platform. Extensions to the Pascal concepts led to the Pascal-like languages Modula-2 and Oberon.

pascal is a little old programming language and basic programming language.but many schools, colleges , university's have to teach about pascal. because we can build many programmes using pascal in practicle.we can use many ide's for the programme in pascal , but if you have a windows pc i recommand lazaras ide.(most professional pascal programmers use lazarus to programming,because its too easy and use less ram than other ide's )

you can download lazarus from this link , and we can start helloword programme from next post!
