Comparison of the Programming Languages C and Pascal

The languages C andPASCAL are growing m popularity, particularly among programmers of small computers In thin paper we summarize and compare the two languages covering their design phflosophms, their handhng of data types, the programming facflltms they provide, the impact of these facflltms on the quality of programs, and how useful the facilities are for programming in a variety of apphcation domains.
