Key differences between COBOL and Pascal
Characteristic | COBOL | Pascal |
---|---|---|
Syntax | COBOL uses a verbose and English-like syntax. | Pascal uses a more structured and concise syntax. |
Paradigm | COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative. | Pascal supports both procedural and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | COBOL has weak typing. | Pascal has strong typing. |
Performance | COBOL is known for its efficient performance in handling large-scale data processing. | Pascal is generally faster in execution due to its compiled nature. |
Libraries and frameworks | COBOL has a limited number of libraries and frameworks available. | Pascal has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available. |
Community and support | COBOL has a smaller and more specialized community with limited support. | Pascal has a larger and more active community with better support. |
Learning curve | COBOL has a steeper learning curve due to its complex syntax and specialized nature. | Pascal has a relatively easier learning curve with its structured syntax and beginner-friendly features. |
