Pascal

High-level programming language developed by Niklaus Wirth in 1971 that is named after the Mathematician Blaise Pascal. Below is an example of a Pascal program that prints "Hello World!".

After the above has been entered into a file, save the file as hello.pas and compile the program before it can be ran.

• A great free Pascal compiler available for dozens of different platforms can be found at: http://www.freepascal.org/
