Hmm...I only know Delphi which is very similar to Pascal, not?

It should be:



Notice the '=' instead of the '=='. I hope that I'm of some help!

thanks thats great

how would i return an answer ... the func returns true or false (boolean) and i want to return "yes the answer is" if true else "No" if not, see im a c++ programmer but im trying to learn pascal as a support language

Hi,

I'm a C++ programmer myself. Here, I'll give you an example (if nobody beats me to it).

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I'll give you an example of a function:



So...if you see your return var would be the function name or you can do 'result := false/true'.

Notice how the return type is at the top of the line (boolean).

I hope that works...

oh im quite a reasonable noob programmer i just cant get my head around the syntax of pascal over c++, for a training language its all very very hard to do anything... c++ seems to be way easier to learn than this if you take out pointers and advance class uses

Was that of any help though? I'm going out and will be back much later. If you need further help don't hesitate to PM me.

I'm not much of a fan of Pascal myself; some people love it though. It's just not what I'm used to/started off with.

Later,

yeah man thanks a lot, you are indeed very helpful and have advanced me forwards, im just having mass problems out putting an answer to my function/procedure

really all i want is this

1. program asks for say an music artist
2. it searches through an array of artists until it finds the name
3. when it does find the artist it prints out a location of it in a shop for eg

im not sure what im doing wrong cos i did the thing in c++ and it works

i just cant seem to output anything without errors.... frustrating... ahhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHH
