Ok great! I'll make one soon 

Pascal Tutorial #2
---

This is my second pascal tutorial on variables.
To enter variables you must type

var
yourVariableHere: Integer; ~ a number
anotherVariable: string; ~ a word or text
andTheLastOne: boolean; ~ true or false

begin
   yourCodeHere;
end;

There are many more types of variables but those are the most commonly used.

next: if statements 



Edit: these are great tutorials.

Great! The videos you linked to were the ones that I used to get introduced to Pascal and Lazarus. Another thing that would be nice for you to cover are arrays.

Pascal tutorial #3
---

In this third tutorial I will explain how to use and define arrays.

Defining an array is very similar to defining a variable.
you type

var
  list:array[1..5]of string; // this is a comment :)

let's break it down.
list ~ name of the array
array ~ defining that it is an array
[1..5] ~ the array can go from the number one to 5
of string ~ the type of array.

To fill an array you simple enter this code

 list[1] := 'this is item #1';

Lets's break that down
list ~ name of the array
[1] ~ the location where you are storing the value.

now to reading arrays (this can also be done with variables).

writeln(list[1]);

This will store write out the first value of the array.

---

next : loops
if statements will come after :3

Functions would be nice for you next tutorial. 

Pascal Tutorial #4
---

This tutorial is on if statements.

If statements are used for testing whether something in a program.
For example if i am hungry then I will eat an apple else I will not eat an apple.

To write a if statement you type

if condition then
  begin
    your code here;
  end;

to write an if else statement you alter the code so that at the end of the first test there is no ; to indicate an ending.

if condition then
  begin
    your code here;
  end
  
  else
    begin
        your code here;
     end;

to write an if and else if tester you use this

 if condition then
begin
 code here;
end

else if condition then
begin
  code here;
end;

Well that would be testing in pascal.

next: loops
after that: procedures
and after that: functions ~ sorry poopo but i think it should be in order ;P

I'm learning pascal, i use lazarus too.

Pascal was a cool guy. He made a principal.

Bump

we have lazarus at school, but "computer science" is only possible for the older students 

yeah... but it's not easy to learn it without help 

  cool
