Top 10 reasons why Pascal is better than C
1. Pascal, noble language as it is, was named after a famous French mathematician and philosopher,
Blaise Pascal. C was named after a Sesame Street character.
2. Pascal's inventor, Nicholas Wirth, and parameter passing conventions coalesce to form a nifty pun:
You can pronounce his name by reference: Wirth or by value: Worth. C was invented at Bell Labs, where
they wouldn't know a joke from a transistor.
3. There is only one Pascal, as defined by Wirth, while C has (shall we say?) several fathers: Kernighan
&
Ritchie, Harbison &
Steele, Barnum &
Bailey, and Laurel &
Hardy.
4. In C, the following variable names are all different: thesame, TheSame, theSame, and THESAME. Nuff said.
5. In Pascal, when you fool with a pointer or handle, you know you're fooling around with a pointer or handle.
In C, you could be fooling around with anything. C is the ultimate language for computational promiscuity.
6. In Pascal, we *know* how big an integer is.
7. C is used by liberal, Democratic, Mike Dukakis types of programmers. Pascal is a favorite of the GOP. Hey,
we know what the big language at Berkeley is,do
n't we?
8. C is the only language in the civilized world that still refuses to recognize the $ sign for a hexadecimal
constant and continues to promote that base pretender to the throne: 0x00.
9. Pascal has well-defined rules for Scope, while C appears to be using Listerine. This accounts for the
medicine breath of many C programmers.
10. In C, you cando
this:
for(;P("/n").R-;P("|"))for(e=3DC;e-;P("_"+(*u++/8)%2))P("| "+(*u/4)%2);
In Pascal, you CAN'Tdo
this :
for(;P("/n").R-;P("|"))for(e=3DC;e-;P("_"+(*u++/8)%2))P("| "+(*u/4)%2);
