:::: Can U source it?? It really ought to go in [[ Niklaus Wirth |the article on him]] if we can!! – [[User:SquisherDa|SquisherDa]] ([[User talk:SquisherDa|talk]]) 02:24, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
== Merger Proposal (VSI Pascal) ==
{{Discussion top|result=Merged}}
I propose merging [[VSI Pascal]] into this article. I think the information from that article can be condensed and added to [[Pascal (programming language)#Other variants]] without making this article too long. [[User:Vt320|Vt320]] ([[User talk:Vt320|talk]]) 20:04, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
* Seems OK to merge to me. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] <sup>[[User talk:Bubba73|You talkin' to me?]]</sup> 03:01, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
** I'm unsure. Several variations have their own article. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] <sup>[[User talk:Bubba73|You talkin' to me?]]</sup> 04:06, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
*** I feel in this case that the VSI Pascal dialect does not have enough notable distinctions to warrant a standalone article, unlike some of the other dialects which have their own articles. [[User:Vt320|Vt320]] ([[User talk:Vt320|talk]]) 22:03, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

== Enumerations missing in the article ==
Nothing about enumerate types. The table:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Data type
! Type of values which the variable is capable of storing
|-
| [[integer (computer science)|integer]]
| integer (whole) numbers
|-
| [[floating-point arithmetic|real]]
| floating-point numbers
|-
| [[boolean type|boolean]]
| the values True or False
|-
| [[character (computing)|char]]
| a single character from an ordered character set
|-
| [[set (computer science)|set]]
| equivalent to an array of [[boolean type|boolean]] values
|-
| [[Array data type|array]]
| a countable group of any of the preceding data types or records
|-
| [[Record (computer science)|record]]
| A collection of any of the preceding data types
|-
| [[string (computer science)|string]]
| a sequence or "string" of characters is declared as a "packed array of char" with a starting index of 1. These can be assigned string constants and individual characters can be accessed as elements of the array.
|}
must have an enumeration row, maybe:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Data type
! Type of values which the variable is capable of storing
|-
| [[integer (computer science)|integer]]
| integer (whole) numbers
|-
| [[floating-point arithmetic|real]]
| floating-point numbers
|-
| [[boolean type|boolean]]
| the values True or False
|-
| [[character (computing)|char]]
| a single character from an ordered character set
|-
| [[set (computer science)|set]]
| equivalent to an array of [[boolean type|boolean]] values
|-
| [[Enumerated type|enums]]
| type including different lables
|-
| [[Array data type|array]]
| a countable group of any of the preceding data types or records
|-
| [[Record (computer science)|record]]
| A collection of any of the preceding data types
|-
| [[string (computer science)|string]]
| a sequence or "string" of characters is declared as a "packed array of char" with a starting index of 1. These can be assigned string constants and individual characters can be accessed as elements of the array.

and the corresponding section containing the syntax and an example. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2806:106E:B:400F:F9:F69F:2ED7:3753|2806:106E:B:400F:F9:F69F:2ED7:3753]] ([[User talk:2806:106E:B:400F:F9:F69F:2ED7:3753#top|talk]]) 06:12, 4 September 2022 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== The image contains terrible Pascal code ==
The indentation is odd and there are unnecessary begin/end pairs. It appears to be from a beginner programmer who has cut-and-pasted parts that work. It makes Pascal look more cryptic than it is. --[[User:Abandondero|Abandondero]] ([[User talk:Abandondero|talk]]) 23:09, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
:I assume you were talking about the FPC IDE image. This is not Pascal, but a dialect of it. FPC is capable of using regular/Wirth Pascal, the image shown is not an example of it. I removed it. [[User:Samiam95124|Samiam95124]] ([[User talk:Samiam95124|talk]]) 23:29, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
