Translated Textbook

[norm]

Thanks, engkin.

Here is what I think it should be. Please let me know if I did not get it right, or if it could be better.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. unit Unit1;
2. interface
3. uses
4.     Classes, SysUtils, LResources, Forms, Controls, Graphics,
5.     Dialogs, StdCtrls;
6. type
7. {TForm1}
8.     // Declare the form class TForm1
9.     TForm1 = [b]class[/b](TForm)
10.         // Declare the button component Button1
11.         Button1: TButton;
12.         // Declare the event handler for clicking on Button1
13.         procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
14.     private
15.         {private declarations}
16.     public
17.         {public declarations}
18. end;
19.  
20. var
21.     // Declare the class variable for the form (TForm1)
22.     Form1: TForm1;
23. implementation
24.     {TForm1}
25.     // Event handler for clicking on Button1
26. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
27. begin
28.     // The text of the event handling procedure
29. end;
30.  
31. end.
32.

I am not by a computer, but meanwhile Lazarus can format the code using Ctrl+D.

[norm]

OK. I will use that lead and look at how Lazarus does it.

[engkin]

If you don't mind me asking, how good are you with the material presented in this book?

[norm]

I don't mind at all.

If your question is "How good am I at Free Pascal and Lazarus?" my response would be "good, but not an expert". I am a civil engineer. My interest is in applying Free Pascal / Lazarus to practical problems.

Nevertheless, I have learnt over time the importance of respecting the practices of other disciplines.  So, I am more than happy to listen to the experts, and everyone else. I want this book to be as useful as possible to as many persons as possible!

I am quite familiar, however, with the math and algorithm development content of the book.

[norm]

I applied Ctrl+D in Lazarus to the code at the bottom of Page 362 and its continuation on all the way to Page 366, but it left justified most of the code, except for code at the very beginning of the listing.

It does not look like an improvement on the formatting currently on Page 362, or on code readability overall.

I wonder if example code can be downloaded from somewhere?

The scribd link requires a login and then a credit card to access a free trial. Is the download available anywhere else?

I’m looking for the English translation.

That just links back to this thread. Still looking for the English translation.

I am quite sure the author intended it to remain free.

I have a copy I downloaded early on. Probably not the most up to date but better than nothing.  Hmm, I cannot upload as a pdf, too big. I'll find somewhere to upload and get back to you .

OK, try here - http://bannons.id.au/downloads/FPLazarus.pdf

Note my website (its not really a website) does not have a certificate so you browser may be unhappy, we'll try something else if thats the case.
