Though BASIC and PASCAL are both "beginner" languages, I chose BASIC as not being a "real" programming language because of its "GOTO" statement. PASCAL enforces structured programming.

I thought the correct answer was 'Assembly.' True, there is 'assembly language,' but the others are cross-platform programming languages actually used to code programs. Assembly code is different for every chip, and is not actually something one would (normally) use for programming. Does anyone still sit down and write in assembler?



Whatever one thinks about that answer, "Assembly" was definitely the one answer 'not like the others.'
