    PASCAL - BASIC SYNTAX

    You have seen a basic structure of pascal program, so it will be easy to understand other basic
    building blocks of the pascal programming language.

    Variables
    A variable definition is put in a block beginning with a var keyword, followed by definitions of the
    variables as follows:
    var
    A_Variable, B_Variable ... : Variable_Type;

    Pascal variables are declared outside the code-body of the function which means they are not
    declared within the begin and end pairs, but they are declared after the definition of the
    procedure/function and before the begin keyword. For global variables, they are defined after the
    program header.

    Functions/Procedures
    In Pascal, a procedure is set of instructions to be executed, with no return value and a function is
    a procedure with a return value. The definition of function/procedures will be as follows
    Function Func_Name(params...) : Return_Value;
    Procedure Proc_Name(params...);

    Comments
    The multiline comments are enclosed within curly brackets and asterisks as {* ... *}. Pascal allows
    single-line comment enclosed within curly brackets { ... }.
    {* This is a multi-line comments
    and it will span multiple lines. *}
    { This is a single line comment in pascal }

    Case Sensitivity
    Pascal is a case non-sensitive language, which means you can write your variables, functions and
    procedure in either case. Like variables A_Variable, a_variable and A_VARIABLE have same
    meaning in Pascal.

    Pascal Statements
    Pascal programs are made of statements. Each statement specifies a definite job of the program.
    These jobs could be declaration, assignment, reading data, writing data, taking logical decisions,
    transferring program flow control, etc.
    For example
    readln (a, b, c);
    s := (a + b + c)/2.0;
    area := sqrt(s * (s - a)*(s-b)*(s-c));
    writeln(area);

    Reserved Words in Pascal


    The statements in Pascal are designed with some specific Pascal words, which are called the
    reserved words. For example, the words, program, input, output, var, real, begin, readline,
    writeline and end are all reserved words.

    Following is a list of reserved words available in Pascal.

    Character set and Identifiers in Pascal


    The Pascal character set consists of
    All upper case letters A Z
    All lower case letters a z
    All digits 0 9
    Special symbols - + * / := , . ;. [] = {} ` white space
    The entities in a Pascal program like variables and constants, types, functions, procedures and
    records, etc., have a name or identifier. An identifier is a sequence of letters and digits, beginning
    with a letter. Special symbols and blanks must not be used in an identifier.
