Programs

This is a growing collection! Take a look, be inspired then contribute yourself!

Now that we have a wide range of Pascal programs, we have arranged them and collated their details in the table below. Programs towards the top of the table tend to be more straightforward, with few if any added requirements, and should be appreciated by beginners. For these programs we have noted commonly used language features such as loops and selection statements so that you can use them for reference. Programs at the bottom of the table are advanced and show what can be achieved with the Pascal language by keen, talented students. These programs also contain many examples of common features, but we note only their more advanced features for reference purposes.

Select the programs from (i) the left panel, (ii) the links in the table or (iii) the list below the table. Compile programs requiring the Crt unit using Lazarus or see how to download and use Crt in Delphi in our Graphics tutorial.
