PASCAL PROGRAMMING WEBQUEST
Introduction
You are now in grade 12 and are taking an enriched programming course. Your teacher has given you an assignment that asks you to research a new programming language. You have chosen to look at Pascal programming, but first you are required to do some background research about it.
Task
1).Research the inventor of this programming language
2). Show the structure of a pascal program
3).What is the difference between Java and Pascal?
4).Do tests 1,2 and 3 on the website given bellow
Process
1).Find the name of the inventor and in a brief paragraph summarize some of his important achievement or highlights of his life.
2).This task shouldn’t take a lot of time; all you have to do is quickly find the structure in which all of the Pascal programs are written in. Find this information using google or another search engine.
3).Look at a bigger Pascal program and using your knowledge of Java describe some of the differences and similarities between both of the programs.
Here are two programs that perform the same operation. One is written in Pascal and the other is written in Java. Point out the differences between the two programming styles.
The pascal program
The java program
4). Here is the website with the 3 tests. They are simple multiple choice questions.

Evaluation
What is the name of the inventor of Pascal? What year was he born in?
In Pascal each program statement is terminated with a ___________.
Define an integer "Webquest" as it would be defined in a Pasal program.
Conclusion
Now you have completed the webquest. While going through it I hope you learned something new about this Programming language. Knowing some background information and the basic format, you should be able to complete a simple Pascal program if you ever will be asked to do one.
