Pascal can refer to several concepts depending on the context.

Below are the main


interpretations:

1. Pascal (Programming Language):

Pascal is a high-level, structured programming language developed by Niklaus Wirth in 1970. It


was designed to encourage good programming practices and was widely used for teaching
programming.

Key Features:

 Structured Language: Supports structured programming with


constructs like loops, conditionals, and functions.
 Strongly Typed: Enforces strict type checking to avoid errors.
 Readable Syntax: Emphasizes human readability, making it ideal for
education.
 Support for Procedures and Functions: Encourages modular
programming.
 Wide Applications: Initially used in academia, later in software
development (e.g., Turbo Pascal by Borland).

Influence:

Pascal influenced many modern programming languages, including Modula-2, Ada, and Delphi.

2. Pascal (Unit of Pressure):

The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, named after Blaise Pascal, a French
mathematician and physicist.

Definition:

 1 Pascal = 1 Newton per square meter (N/m²).


 It measures the force applied over an area.

Applications:

 Used in physics, engineering, and meteorology.


 Common units: kilopascal (kPa), megapascal (MPa).
