                        More Programming Languages
                        --------------------------


        Last month we covered a little about Basic and Quick-Basic.
     Now it is time to compare C and Pascal.   Before we do get 
     started I must let you know that whatever info I give you
     is general in most cases and will, however not apply in all
     cases.   Pascal is about the same as Basic to learn as far
     as speed of learning.   Pascal does contain a different 
     programming structure than C.  However with Pascal the 
     finished product is smaller than say, a basic program would be.
     
     C on the other hand can make smaller programs than Pascal
     and will run faster in execution.   C is also the most widely
     used language around.  In fact, most companies prefer you to 
     have some C background.

     C's language is a little more difficult to learn than Pascal
     but with time you can do just about anything.   Remember all
     programming languages do take some time to learn, and become
     efficient and familiar with them.

    The higher in languages we go the more of a learning curve
    there is, meaning, the harder it is to learn.  The best suggestion 
    for writing programs is to remember that if time is the most 
    important then choose a language that will be easy enough to learn 
    and still get the job done.
