Which one did you think would be best for a first year language?
I was taught Pascal first, then C++. Pascal really helped with learning the basics. I think jumping right into C++ or Java would have been confusing.
- woodrowbarlow 9y agoi am happy that i learned pascal first. the focus on types, as the linked article states, was healthy for me. we didn't get into pointer manipulation in pascal, though. i'm a bit glad we waited until C for that because the "everything is an int" mentality of C helped me understand storage classes.
