Summary here
Our first program will print the classic “hello world” message. Here’s the full source code.
program HelloWorld;
begin
writeln('hello world');
end.
To run the program, save the code in a file named HelloWorld.pas
and use a Free Pascal Compiler (FPC) to compile and run it.
$ fpc HelloWorld.pas
$ ./HelloWorld
hello world
Sometimes we’ll want to compile our programs into executables. Here’s how to do it with Free Pascal Compiler:
First, compile the code:
$ fpc HelloWorld.pas
$ ls
HelloWorld HelloWorld.pas HelloWorld.o
We can then execute the binary directly.
$ ./HelloWorld
hello world
Now that we can run and build basic Pascal programs, let’s learn more about the language.
