Pascal (as referred to on this site) is a computer language used to create applications for computer use. Like C/C++, Java, and many others, it is not intended for one particular operating system. As a compiled language, in order to use it, you need a Pascal compiler. All of the lessons on this site were created using, and tested with, Borland Delphi. With just a few modifications,, the programs in our lessons should be possibly run on most compilers.

This site was primarily created as an introduction to Delphi but we decided to make it a little general. Because of the popularity and leadership of Borland Delphi, the built-in functions and other routines were mostly based on that compiler.
