we are talking about pascal

you are probably talking about C++ vs pascal. But you should be talking C.

no, c and c++ have basically similar rules for the scope of variables, with the regard to braces

I don't think you know much about pascal, C or C++

About pas Al in comparison to languages using {} for blocks, where some have block scoping and some don't.

no idea what you are talking about here - what is "pas Al" - post an example of what you mean.

Pascal. It’s a typo.
