Anyone here know pascal? What's it's use, and is there anything I could do with pascal that c++ can't?
I believe it was the first computer language ever. At least a very very old one, and one of the first from my knowledge. You know some basic pascal now I'm pretty sure (At least because your a SRL member you should :p)
Who is this pascal guy i keep hearing about ???
I know, i rlly w4nt to m33t pascal b3c4use he soudz so 1337!
@JAD
yea, I know what pascal is, but I'm just wondering if anyone here uses it or if I should bother learning it in contexts other than for scar.
btw, FORTRAN is usually considered the first programming language (about 15 years before pascal I think) Then came cobal, lisp and even basic before pascal.
Pascal is actually a guy you know, probably dead, but a guy. The langauge was named after him (Blaise Pascal). Developed in 1970 ^^
I thought blaise pascal was the guy who invented pascal's triangle in like the 17th century. I doubt he's the one who developed the pascal language lol.
I scripted Pascal for a while. It's much easier than C++, but uses pretty much the same concepts.

Wikipedia is your friend.
Taken from wikipedia :
SCAR Code:program HelloWorld(output);
begin
writeln('Hello, World!')
end.
SCAR Code:program mine(output);
var i : integer;
procedure print(var j: integer);
function next(k: integer): integer;
begin
next := k + 1
end;
begin
writeln('The total is: ', j);
j := next(j)
end;
begin
i := 1;
while i <= 10 do print(i)
end.
Remind you of anything ?
yea, no shit.
If you read my question (it shouldn't have been too hard, it was only two sentences) you would notice that Wiki doesn't answer it.
oh gotcha. I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were trying to tell my it was developed by Blaise Pascal in 1970. lol :rolleyes:
The first ever language was ShortCode, and im not ssure what pascal is good for.
If u know SCAR i suggest trying delphi.. Its quite easy and i guess its pascal too (or atleast pascal based).
