Semicolon
Semicolon (;) is a statement terminator. Every statement in Pascal must be terminated with a semicolon. The exceptions
are: the last (outer most) end statement in the program which is terminated with a dot and the last statement before end
which doesn't need to be terminated with a semicolon.
For more information, see Statements.
Colon
Colon (:) is used in declarations to separate identier list from type identier. For example:
var
i, j : byte;
k : word;
In the program, use the colon to indicate a labeled statement:
start: nop;
...
goto start;
For more information, refer to Labels.
Dot
Dot (.) indicates an access to a eld of a record. For example:
person.surname := 'Smith';
For more information, refer to Records.
Dot is a necessary part of oating point literals. Also, dot can be used for accessing individual bits of registers in
mikroPascal.
