With the help of assembly language, computer usage increased rapidly. Even though assembly language is faster than the machine language to program, still assembly language is very slow. High-level programming languages, in which single statements could be written to accomplish substantial tasks, were developed to speed the programming process. Pascal is a high-level programming language. This (Pascal) language was originally developed by Niklaus Wirth. His principle objectives for Pascal were for the language to be efficient to implement and run, allow for the development of well-structured and well-organized programs, and to serve as a vehicle for the teaching of the important concepts of computer programming. The language was named in honor of the 17 th century mathematician and inventor; Blaise Pascal, but this language is not related to him or his work. Pascal was designed in a very orderly approach, it combined many of the best features of the languages in use at the time, COBOL, FORTRAN, and ALGOL. While doing so, many of the irregularities and oddball statements of these languages were cleaned up, which helped it gain users (Wirth, 100-101).
