13) What is Constructors and Destructors in Pascal?
Constructor: It is a method which is automatically called whenever an object is formed.
Destructor: During the destruction of the object, destruction method is called. It is used to destroy memory allocation created by constructors.
14) What is Pascal units?
Modules referred as units in Pascal and Pascal consists many built in units also.
Here, modules consists code blocks and code blocks consists of variables, type declarations and statement procedures etc.
15) What is the extension supported by Pascal?
Pascal supports
.pas extension.
16) What is the difference between Turbo and Standard Pascal?
The difference between Turbo and Standard Pascal:
| Turbo Pascal |
Standard Pascal |
| It uses dynamic variables and pointers to show the standard procedures. |
It doesn't use dynamic variables and uses procedures. |
| It doesn't use the Get and Put methods. |
It supports the use of Get and Put methods. |
| It uses recursion for their subprograms. |
It doesn't use the recursion for their subprograms. |
17) What is Pascal Sets?
Pascal Sets: It is a collection of elements of the same type. It allows defining the set data type. Here, the set elements are enclosed within square brackets.
18) Why semicolons are used as statement separators in Pascal?
In Pascal, semicolons are used as statement separator or statement terminator so that other statements can be executed.
19) Is float a Pascal data type?
No.
20) When was Pascal Developed?
In
1971.
21) What is IP Pascal?
IP Pascal (Interplatform Pascal): It is an implementation of the Pascal programming language using the IP portability platform, operating system, and a multiple machine.

The difference between Modern Pascal and Standard Pascal are:
| Modern Pascal |
Standard Pascal |
| It is more secure and less ambiguous while coding. |
It is less secure and more ambiguous while coding. |
| It provides backward compatibility by the use of functions and procedures. |
It doesn't follow the backward compatibility. |
| It allows the removal of the length of the symbol. |
It doesn't allow the removal of the length of the symbol. |
24) What is Pascal's TimeToString?
It is a function in Pascal which is used to get the current time in a colon delimited form.
25) What is getmem in Pascal?
getmem: It is a function or procedure that is used to define a pointer with specific number of bytes and also allocate new memory on the heap.
26) How to release the getmem function allocated memory?
By using the
