: : : : Would it be possible to get help from someone who knows their fair share about pascal.I'm at college in cannock,ENGLAND studying computers and I really want to be a programmer but I seem to struggle with many aspects and so my lecturer is now saying that I'm not cut out to be a programmer will someone please help me piss on his bonfire.
: : :
: : : ah..what kind of help did you have in mind?
: : : check if your compiler has a HELP index that shows all of the procedures and whatever of pascal..if so, look at what you're studying now and you'll understand it better (most compilers also have sample programs for most of the topics), look at random topics to learn something new..
: : : when you're looking at something, you'll see a list of things that are related..take a look at them, even if you know them already they may bring up a new list of related things.
: : :
: : : if you really want to be a programmer - start practicing. make programs that utilize whatever you know, and that will help you learn from them.
: : : challenge yourself and take some time to think out an idea for anything that seems a bit complicated and find a way to program it.
: : :
: : : as for "pissing on your lecturer's bonfire".. show him/her that you have the will to learn, and that you've mastered whatever you're studying now and are ready to learn more advanced things. most teachers are happy to teach their students more if possible.
: : :
: : : as for general help, it's not possible to just explain everything in such a way, so post a specific problem (ie. "writing to/reading from files", or "drawing things on screen") or a specific topic/feature that you don't understand so well and people here will do their best to explain.
: : :
: : : but remember that
the way to learn is asking.
: : : hope this helps 2 get u started, and good luck in programming..

: : Yes what Noam has said is the best way.

: : I am always needing to challenge my self in programming after been trained and have purchased Pascal for home to work at it.

What we need to do first whilst learning a Language is Design?
Like for starters
Input and output to Screen persons name.
Pascal :=
program nameio;
var name:string;
begin
write('Name please :');
readln(name);
writeln('Thankyou ',name);
end.
Now a new thing here is the STRING. If you have pascal at home, highlight string and click on Topic in Help. What is in Help is all you require for the language of PASCAL.
Note this is standard PASCAL
With string you can define the size which helps when dealing with huge programs.
I hope you can try this.
And if successful then let me know and I will try to progress in TUTORING in PASCAL
