are some of the oldest computer languages.  Many of today's modern languages
have been a result of one of these three languages, but are greatly improved.
Both turbo pascal and basic are languages that are easy to understand and the
syntax is very easy and straightforward. In Basic when printing to the screen
you simply type the word 'print', in turbo pascal you would type 'writeln'.

     The format and layout of the various languages are very diverse between
some, and between others are somewhat similar.  When programming in Basic the
user has to type in line numbers before each new line of code.  In an updated
