Can someone please tell me why this happens?
Var
I : Longint = 0;
Begin
For I := 1 to 6 Do
Writeln(I);
End.
This gives me :
initialize.pas(4,5) Error: Illegal counter variable
initialize.pas(6,4) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
initialize.pas(0) Fatal: Compilation aborted
but this works fine:
Var
I : Longint;
Begin
I := 0;
For I := 1 to 6 Do
Writeln(I);
End.
Shouldn't these two programs be identical? What difference does it make if I
initialize the variable in the Var section?
James
