- Frankly speaking, from the point of the program output , what you can do in
- C++ can be done by Pascal. However, I have to say that C++( or C ) is more
- popular than Pascal.

-
- I agree that Pascal is worth-learning, especially as a first programming
- language. It is because Pascal can really develop good programming habbits,
- Although it is sometimes to use Pascal for programming, good programming
- habbits are very important in programming. So, I still recommend Pascal.
-

-
- It is very difficult to answer. It is because you would have developed some
- programming concepts after taking the course, which makes you easier to
- learn other programming languages, like C, C++, visual ***, etc. Of course,
- the world or competition in finding a job of programming is very difficult.
- You have to face other stronger opponent from CS, CE, or IS majors.

- : Please reply me by email as soon as possible because I have to make decision
- : soon!

- : Thanks!
