The reader with no familiarity with Algol-like languages
may prefer one of the Pascal text books listed below,
as they provide more examples and explanation.
Particularly important here are pages 116-118 which define the syntax

Some programmers find this report too concise to be of practical use,
Several good books which teach Pascal or use it as a medium are

They are both recommended.
Other books on Pascal are listed in the references below.
