missed semicolon.

(1/1)

hello. I've got an assignment on my yesterday class. i need to make a program that reads characters and if they are (1,2,3,4), the program will show (a,b,c,d) respectively. the teacher specified that it need to be done using a function. when i "finished", the compiler gave me an error because it was a semicolon missed before the end of the program, but no matter how much i try to fix it, it keeps giving that error. i would appreciate if you guys could help me. my code until now is:


--- Code: ---program funcion;
uses crt;
var num: char;

Function search(a:char): char;

Begin
 case a of '1':
   search:='a';
 '2':
   search:='b';
 '3':
   search:='c';
end;


begin
writeln ('type in a character');
readln (num);

writeln (search(num));

end.

--- End code ---

i would appreciate any help with the code. (sorry for my grammar, my mother language is Spanish).

engkin:
You need to close your case statement with an end


--- Quote ---Function search(a:char): char;

Begin
 case a of '1':
   search:='a';
 '2':
   search:='b';
 '3':
   search:='c';
  end;  //<----- is missing
end;

--- End quote ---
