description Pascal was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s by Niklaus Wirth, a Swiss computer scientist at the Eidgenossische Technishe Hochshule (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland. His primary goal was to develop a language that makes it possible "to teach programming as a systematic discipline based on certain fundamental concepts clearly and naturally reflected by the language." The Pascal User Manual and Report, written by Wirth and K. Jensen and published in 1974, serves as the basic definition of the Pascal language. As the use of Pascal grew, some differences appeared in various implementations. To ensure that Pascal programs written on one system can be executed on another, national and international standards for the language have been formulated. A recent standard is An American National Standard IEEE Standard Pascal Computer Programming Language, which was published in 1983 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This standard was approved by the IEEE Standards Board and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and serves as the basis for this text. Differences between this standard and other popular versions of Pascal are described in brief sections at the ends of appropriate chapters and in Appendix G.
