Synopsis

The original description of Pascal by the designer of the language has been up-dated to incorporate the ISO-standard. Revisions to Niklaus Wirth's classic, "Pascal: User Manual and Report" include: Wirth's EBNF syntactical notation - an expanded user manual with improved programming examples - a thorough appendix summarizing changes in the language necessitated by the ISO-standard. What is left unchanged is the rigor and precision that made "PASCAL: User Manual and Report" the definitive reference for nearly a decade.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book consists of two parts: The User Manual, and the revised Report. The User Manual is directed to those who have some familiarity with computer programming, and who wish to get acquainted with the language Pascal. The style of the User Manual is that of a tutorial and many examples are included to demonstrate the various features of Pascal. Summarizing tables and syntax specifications are among the Appendices. The Report serves as the ultimate, concise reference for both programmers and implementors. It describes Standard Pascal, which constitutes a common base between various implements of the language.
