I think that these two increment procedures will be (more or less?) equivalent:procedure increment(var n: integer); begin n := n + 1 end; procedure increment2(p: intpointer); begin p^ := p^ + 1 end;
They are, with the proviso that, in standard Pascal, increment2 can only be applied to a heap-allocated instance of intpointer, whereas increment can be applied to any variable of type integer. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
