Detailed explanation-4: -Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, designed by Niklaus Wirth as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.

Detailed explanation-5: -While Pascal is a reliable and efficient programming language, it is mainly used to teach programming techniques. In fact, it is the first language that many programmers learn. There are commercial versions of Pascal that are used, but in general, most developers favor Java, C#, C, C++, etc.
