Editing Entry point (section)

===Pascal===
In [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]], the main procedure is the only unnamed [[block (programming)|block]] in the program. Because Pascal programs define procedures and functions in a more rigorous bottom-up order than C, C++ or Java programs, the main procedure is usually the last block in the program. Pascal does not have a special meaning for the name "<code>main</code>" or any similar name.

<syntaxhighlight lang="pascal">
program Hello(Output);
begin
  writeln('Hello, world!');
end.
</syntaxhighlight>

Command-line arguments are counted in <code>ParamCount</code> and accessible as strings by <code>ParamStr(n)</code>, with n between 0 and <code>ParamCount</code>.

Versions of Pascal that support units or modules may also contain an unnamed block in each, which is used to initialize the module. These blocks are executed before the main program entry point is called.
