2011 5th form online thingie #1

The following Pascal program was given as a demonstration of FOR loops:

program looptest;

var
	counter: integer;

begin
	for counter := 1 to 100 do
		writeln(counter);
end.

A for loop follows this format:

For ← <start value> TO/DOWNTO <end value> Do
Begin
	...
	...
End

A FOR loop is a definite loop (we know how many times it must loop).

A FOR loop loops to or down to a given value.

Pascal concepts:

:= is used for assignment (the same as ← in pseudocode)
The final END statement has a . after it instead of the usual ;

These exercises were given, and are due Tuesday March 15 2011:
