Reserverd Words
These are the common reserved
words of pascal program. You
cannot use this as a variable name.
begin end program var string
if then else for to downto
while do repeat until
procedure function in

Program Title
program Test; {This is the program
title(you can omit it)}
begin
{Main Body}
end.

Data type
These are the common data type of pascal program.

Declaring variable
program Test;
var i : integer;
var s : string;
var c : char;
var b : boolean;
var r : real;
begin
{Main Body}
end.

Declaring variable
program Test;
Uses wincrt;
var i : integer;
s : string;
c : char;
b : boolean;
r : real;
Begin
I := 0;
Writeln(i);
end.

Using Library
program Test;
uses wincrt; {Wincrt is a common
library in turbo pascal for i/o
manipulations wincrt.tpu}
var i : integer;
begin
{Main Body}
end.

Using Variables
program Test;
uses wincrt;
var i : integer;
Begin
Readln(i);
writeln(i);
end.

Using Variables
program Test;
uses wincrt;
var i : integer;
j : integer;
begin
i := 7;
j := 3;
i := i + j;
writeln(i);

Comparing VB with Pascal

VB: Dim i as integer
Pascal: var i : integer;
VB: i = 10
Pascal: i := 10;
VB: comment
Pascal: {Comment}/(*Comment*)

Comparing VB with Pascal

VB:
Dim j as integer
j = 10
If j = 10 then
print J = 10
Else
print J <> 10
End If

Comparing VB with Pascal

Pascal:
Uses wincrt;
var j : integer;
begin
j := 10;
if j = 10 then
writeln(J = 10)
else
writeln(J <> 10);
End.

IFTHENELSE
program Test;
var j : integer;
begin
j := 10;
if j = 10 then
writeln(J = 10) {*** No ;}
else
writeln(J <> 10);
writeln(End of program);
end;

IFTHENELSE

The whole
If-Phrase

program Test;
var j : integer;
begin
j := 10;
if j = 10 then
writeln(J = 10)
else
writeln(J <> 10);
writeln(End of program);
end;

Complicated IFTHENELSE
if i = 10 then
if j = 10 then
writeln(i = 10 and j = 10)
else
writeln(i = 10 and j <> 10)
else
writeln(i <> 10 and j <> 10);
Correct Program

Complicated IFTHENELSE
if i = 10 then
if j = 10 then
writeln(i = 10 and j = 10)
else
writeln(i = 10 and j <> 10);
else
writeln(i <> 10 and j <> 10);
Wrong semicolon

Comment
begin
{This is a comment}
(* This is also a comment*)
end.
