>Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, which Niklaus Wirth designed in 196869 and published in 1970, as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. It is named in honor of the French mathematician, philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal.

to compile and run a pascal program you could use a free pascal compiler. [Download Here](https://www.freepascal.org/)
```pascal
//Anathomy of a Pascal Program
//this is a comment
{
this is a
multiline comment
}
//name of the program
program learn_pascal; //<-- dont forget a semicolon
type
{
this is where you should delcare a custom
data-types
}
var
{
this is where you should declare a variable
}
//main program area
begin
{
area to declare your instruction
}
end. // End of a main program area should required a "." symbol
```
```pascal
//declaring variable
//you can do this
var a:integer;
var b:integer;
//or this
var
a : integer;
b : integer;
//or this
var a,b : integer;
```
```pascal
program Learn_More;
//Lets learn about data types and their operations
//Declaring variables
var
int : integer; // a variable that contains an integer number data types
ch : char; // a variable that contains a character data types
str : string; // a variable that contains a string data types
r : real; // a variable that contains a real number data types
bool : boolean; //a variables that contains a Boolean(True/False) value data types
Begin
int := 1;// how to assign a value to a variable
r := 3.14;
ch := 'a';
str := 'apple';
bool := true;
//pascal is not a case-sensitive language
//arithmethic operation
int := 1 + 1; // int = 2 overwriting the previous assignment
int := int + 1; // int = 2 + 1 = 3;
int := 4 div 2; //int = 2 a division operation which the result will be floored
int := 3 div 2; //int = 1
int := 1 div 2; //int = 0
bool := true or false; // bool = true
bool := false and true; // bool = false
bool := true xor true; // bool = false
r := 3 / 2; // a division operator for real
r := int; // you can assign an integer to a real variable but not the otherwise
c := str[1]; // assign the first letter of str to c
str := 'hello' + 'world'; //combining strings
End.
