-Pascal, as defined by Wirth, is a general-purpose programming language with the following '''reserved words''': array, begin, case, const, do, downto, else, end, file, for, function, goto, if, label, nil, of, packed, procedure, program, record, repeat, set, then, to, type, until, var, while, with.  The following reserved words are '''operators''': and, or, not, div, mod, in.  Built in simple '''data types''': integer, char, boolean, real.  In addition, arrays of data types, files of data types, and records (structures) can be defined, as well as enumerations (called scalars).  Unique among major programming languages is the support of '''sets'''.  Built-in '''functions''': abs, arctan, chr, cos, eof, eoln, exp, ln, odd, ord, pred, round, sin, sqr, sqrt, succ, trunc.  Build-in '''procedures''': dispose, get, new, put, read, readln, reset, rewrite, write, writeln.  '''Operators''': + - * ( ) < > = <> >= <=

 A major fault in the original definition of Pascal was the lack of string support.  Namely, strings are packed arrays of chars, with minimal string-specific support.  This shortcoming has been addressed by every modern Pascal compiler, which provide well-supported native string data types.
