- The U of Mn suggests, but does not require, taking a quarter of Pascal
- before taking C. I have no experience with pascal, but have read that the
- two languages utilize similar concepts and structures couched in different
- terms. Is pascal really a useful introduction to C- should I be taking
- that class after all? It's not my intent to start a C vs pascal flame war
- here... It seems to me that, if pascal is that similar to C, you might as
- well forego pascal and hop right into C.
-
- Any thoughts?

- Thanks much,
