program MyProject
‘ main procedure
main:
‘ Place program code here
end.
Other than comments, nothing should precede the keyword program. After the program name, you can optionally
place the include clauses.
Place all global declarations (constants, variables, labels, routines, structures) before the label main.
Other Modules
Modules other than main start with the keyword module. Newly created blank module contains the bare-bones:
module MyModule
implements
end.
Other than comments, nothing should precede the keyword module. After the module name, you can optionally place
the include clauses.
Interface Section
Part of the module above the keyword implements is referred to as interface section. Here, you can place global
declarations (constants, variables, labels, routines, structures) for the project.
Do not dene routines in the interface section. Instead, state the prototypes of routines (from implementation section)
that you want to be visible outside the module. Prototypes must exactly match the declarations.
Implementation Section
Implementation section hides all the irrelevant innards from other modules, allowing encapsulation of code.
Everything declared below the keyword implements is private, i.e. has its scope limited to the le. When you declare
an identier in the implementation section of a module, you cannot use it outside the module, but you can use it in any
block or routine dened within the module.
By placing the prototype in the interface section of the module (above the implements) you can make the routine
public, i.e. visible outside of module. Prototypes must exactly match the declarations.
