- I have programmed in Fortran and Turbo Pascal fairly extensively,
- and after looking at C it seems that you would be much better off
- trying to learn C++. C++ is a more structured language than C,
- and is also becoming very popular. It has better type checking than
- C, and appears to be quite similar to Pascal in this respect.
