A Pascal program is composed entirely of lexical elements.
These elements are individual symbols, such as arithmetic
operators, or they may be words that have special meanings in
Pascal. The basic unit of any lexical element is a character,
which must be a member of the ASCII character set.
The words used in a Pascal program are combinations of
alphabetic and numeric characters and occasionally a dollar sign
($), an underscore (_), or a percent sign (%). Some words are
reserved for the names of executable statements, operations, and
predefined data structures. Other words in a Pascal program are
identifiers. Predeclared identifiers represent routines and
data types provided by VSI Pascal. Other identifiers are
created by the use to name programs, symbolic constants,
variables, and any necessary program elements that have not
already been named.
