Steve,
If you're looking for equivalent to "return X", use "Exit" with a
parameter in Pascal: "Exit(X)".
It's just a shortcut for "Result := X; Exit;"

:-) Busted! I used Pascal 1984-1993, and C 1986-present with C++ (hate
it) 1990-1998. So I long ago forgot the details of pascal, and program
According to you other posts, I won't be surprised that you think in a
C/C++ way.
This doesn't change anything in your last example, but particularly :
nextt := num;
doesn't behave like in C :
return num;
In pascal I think the equivalent would be :
nextt := num; exit;
Many thanks.

Currently, libxml2 headers are outdated and partially

Hi all,
I upgraded to Debian 12 today and I've noticed some weird behaviour with
libxml2.
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.2+dfsg-20 [2023/03/30] for x86_64
program xml;
uses
xml2;

end.
This program compiles fine, but will not run against the updated version of
libXML2.

nextt(num - 1);
nextt:=nextt(num - 1);
if you don't use the result, the whole call may be optimized away?

Hi all,
Tail recursion is recursion in which absolutely nothing gets executed
after the return statement. Some programming languages, including
Guile, optimize for tail recursion such that tail recursive algorithms
