No need to do that now, if you just want to get going on. I have published some Arduino programming and use tutorials.) You say "goodbye" to Pascal's finger- annoying " :=", but semicolons remain a "little joy" to contend with. Arduinos use a language similar to C+, but if you can program in Pascal, you can learn to program the Arduino without great effort. Older and better than the Pi, which resembles the Arduino in some ways.
I give details of free Pascal compilers further down the page.Īn aside: I became excited about the Arduino microcontroller quite a few years ago. Working with Pascal need not cost a thing. I have notes for translators, if you would add a translation. My thanks to all of the kind translators!

Pascal also supported dynamic data structures i.e., data structures which can grow and shrink while a program is running. Besides cleaning up or leaving out some of Algol's more obscure features, Pascal added the capability to define new data types out of simpler existing ones. The case statement, and value-result parameter passing came from Algol, and the records structures were similar to Cobol and PL 1. Many of the features of Pascal came from earlier languages. It was implemented in 1973 with some modifications. Wirth published the original definition of Pascal in 1971. The most successful one was Pascal, defined by Prof. In the late sixties (196X), several proposals for an evolutionary successor to Algol were developed. The origin of Pascal owes much of its design to Algol - the first high-level language with a readable, structured, and systematically defined syntax.
