Welcome
to Pascal Programming Website - a website which is particularly designed to help
you learn the pascal programming language very quickly and interactively!
Enjoy surfing through the site and reading the lessons built purposely for those who would like to get themselves
familiar and to get capable of writing structured Pascal programs.
The
Pascal Programming Language - Is it for me?
If
you stepped into the site to start learning Pascal, you are on the right
track! There are'nt any special pre-requisites to learn Pascal. Thus, you
can start learning it straight away! Pascal is a very easy language, and helps beginners
to introduce them to other languages, before they can start to learn
C or C++ or any other advanced language (such as JAVA).
What
is PASCAL?
Pascal
is an ordinary high-level language which is widely used as a starting
or as a teaching language. However, nowadays Pascal is sometimes preferred
to other languages, and could be useful to solve technical problems.
It is not necessary to learn any other easier language to start learning
Pascal, or any of that sort. It is a very easy programming language
and helps you to understand the basics of the world of programming.
Also, it greatly helps you in order to start learning the C programming
language. I had different experiences, one of which I learned Pascal,
and then moved to C programming very easily. The Pascal programming
language has its structure and syntax very similar to that of the C
programming language.
A
General Overview of Low-Level and High-Level Languages
There
are two main categories of programming levels; these are low-level and
high-level languages. The terms 'low' and 'high' does not mean that
a group of 'low-level' languages are inferior to the 'high' ones. A
low-level language consists of machine-oriented programming. For example,
machine code is the only language with which the CPU understands. The
other most-common low-level language, is the Assembly language. The
Assembly language has a structure of machine-oriented programming. The
Assembly Language, in other words, has a major control of the computer
hardware. The Assembly Language makes use of mnemonics and has
a better relationship with the memory and the CPU unit far more than
that of other programming languages. The Assembly language is sometimes
used as part of the source code written in Pascal.
A
high-level language consists of all those languages which are problem-oriented.
A low-level language is not user-friendly, that is, makes it hard for
the user to understand the structure of the program. Pascal, C/C++,
BASIC, COBOL, Fortran, etc.. are examples of high-level programming
languages. High-level languages represent their source code in such
a way that it is more understandable to the programmer.
Machine
code is a language which uses binary coding in its source codes. What
do you understand by 0001001011 010101 1001110? It's machine code -
the only language which is understandable by the CPU.
Interpreters
and Compilers
Every
high-level language has its own source which needs to be translated
into the CPU's language - machine code. These translators are referred
to as interpreters and compilers. A high-level language package contains
either an interpreter, or a compiler, with which a high-level language
uses to translate the source code into object code.
An
interpreter is more slower than a compiler, the fact that it has to
be loaded into memory till the end of the translation of the program.
It is less practical than the compiler. However, the interpreter can be helpful for correcting out errors in programs i.e. it is
ideal for debugging. A compiler is faster due to its single, complete translation
of the program into object code. A compiler, compiles the source code
(with no syntax errors) and makes a copy of it. This copy is called
the 'object code'. After it has been compiled, it does not need a recompilation (unless the source code is changed and a recompilation is required to affect the change). The object code used by the OS in order to execute the compiled program.
Where
Can I Get A Compiler?
For any student who tends to learn Pascal, starting from today, the
best thing he should do is to search for a Pascal compiler, before he
start learning Pascal. If you would like a compiler which runs under
windows environment and GUI, then you can click here. The most
famous compiler is the latest Borland Turbo Pascal 7.0, and is highly
difficult to find it out on the market. However, the 'museum of traditional pascal' of Borland
is giving out (pascal) compilers for free because of their old age. [ Note: It
is important to use the Borland's Pascal Compiler because it is widely
used ]

Post By: cymarPosted On: 2012-01-17 TYPE DECLARATION: Declare a
variant record for major league
baseball players. Assume that the
fixed information in the record is
the player’s name and his team
name. The variant information must
be categorized as pitcher or non-
pitcher. If the player is a
pitcher, you must store his number
of wins and number of losses. If
the player is not a pitcher, you
must store his number of times at
bat, number of home runs, number of
hits, and batting average. (Use
CASE-OF statement in PASCAL or its
equivalent)------can you give me
the algorithm of this ? pls thank
you

Post By: Ray McTighe CheasapyPosted On: 2011-03-18 Hello world (arda.)
As a 4-year degree man, I know BASIC but no Pascal or Fortran. Heasr Pascal is basically irrelevant anyway. Mathmatically illiterate ... oh well. Q- does FORTRAN even work?
A turtle of a programmer, but keep me on your mailing list. Hopefully, that is, if you can tolerate the math illiterate.
Best Regards,

Post By: TulanakaPosted On: 2010-04-23 Hello can you help me to write this program which will be handed on before 26th April, 2010. I was out of the college for solving my employment problems and after returning to the college my teacher give me a program to write as a make up test to complete course work.
He told me to write the pascal programthat check for parenthesisiin the arithmetic expressions. Theprogram ensures that forevery opening parenthesis there is a matching closing parenthesis. Further more there can be diferent kinds of parentheses, round one (....), square one [....], and braces one {....}. The remaining characters in the arithmetic expressions can simply be ignored.
The input to the program is ana arithmetic expressions eg.{2*[(x-4)*(y+x-3)]/12} in which case the program will moutput "Ok with parenthesis" If the input is not ok eg. (x+y} or [(23-x] the program should output "It is not ok with parenthesis"
You should use stack Data Structure whereby the opening parenthesis is pushed onto the stack and closing one is popped out of the stack.
Please help me to write this program and send me feedback before that deadline.
