Turbo Pascal and PascalABC: what are the differences?

Question

Programming

Decided to learn Pascal.
There is an old book by Nemnyugin "Learning Turbo Pascal", but they use the well-known compiler from Borland of the seventh version. Will the written code be very different in PascalABC.Net?
Vlom run TP on Win7x64.
What to do?

Answer 1

As far as I remember, PascalABC was conceived as a simple programming learning environment. More modern than TP. It comes with a textbook with tasks and solutions.
There is no difference in terms of syntax. The code will not be different.

Answer 2

Use Free Pascal. It is very well compatible.
It even has a very similar development environment to the TurboPacal IDE.
The only difference is to write not tp, but fp when running from the command line.

Answer 3

pascalabc.net
It's just pascal with .net
You don't have to use .net and compile regular pascal.

Answer 4

ABC's examples from this tutorial can go crazy. The main problems may arise with the graphics. Better use Free Pascal, it is better compatible with BP.

Answer 5

Graphics work is very different. Otherwise, in principle, everything is the same.
in any case, everything can be found on Google
on the topic of the same graphics, there are quite a few articles adapted for ABC

Answer 6

Incompatible.
The simplest examples can be done in FreePascal, but it is also not compatible.
The only real solution is to install DosBox and run TP7 under it.
But if possible, don't learn this moldy stuff (by today's standards), get PyCharm Educational Edition and start with Python.

Answer 7

Essentially the same, the main differences in the GraphABC module

Answer 8

For those who are still interested in this topic, I advise you to watch the presentation of a school teacher of computer science, it tells well about the main innovations of ABCNET www.edu54.ru/upload/files/2016/190216_1.pdf

Answer 9

It's about the same, just no .net extension
