Pascal Tutorial #5
---
This tutorial is on procedures and functions
(sorry for the delay D 
==procedures==
A procedure is a section of code that the main program calls up. Procedures help to keep your code neat.
an example:
Code:
procedure welcome; //procedure
begin
writeln('welcome to the program');
end;
begin
welcome; //calling it
end.as can guess the "procedure" is what you sue to define a procedure and the "welcome;" is what you use to call the procedure welcome.
==functions==
The difference between a function and a procedure is that a function can return a value.
An example of a function:
Code:
function cubed(var x:integer):integer; //naming it
begin
cubed := x*x*x; //cubing the number
end;
var
number: integer;
begin //start the program
writeln('enter a number');
readln(number);// V using the function 'Cubed'.
writeln('the number cubed is ', cubed(number));
end.Take a look at the comments it's pretty self explanatory if you know how procedures work :3

Pascal Tutorial #6

This tutorial is on loops
Loops as you probably already know repeat xD
==repeat until loop==
Code:
i := 1; repeat i := i+1; until i = 10;
As you can see this code here repeats until i = 10.
==for loop==
Code:
for i := 1 to 5 do begin writeln(i) ; end;
this repeats without you having to increment
==while loop==
Code:
while i = 10 do begin i = i+1; end;
this repeats, you must increment or you'll go into an infinite loop.
Those are the main loops :3

next I have no idea xD
