Statements Pascal Program Instructions
A statement is an instruction in a Pascal program (or subprogram).
There are six basic types of statements in Pascal:
<null> does nothing
<assignment> assigns a value to a variable (or function name)
<invocation> calls a procedure
<conditional> executes a statement based on some condition
<iterative> executes some statement repeatedly
<compound> a group of statements treated as a single
statement
A statement is translated by the compiler into machine instructions,
while a declaration sets aside memory to hold data.
