Benefits for Students
Low-cost
Individual licenses for Irie Pascal start at just US$79.99. If your
school purchases an Irie Pascal license you may even be able to use it for free. NOTE:
Licensing fees can be paid in any of the following currencies (US$, CA$, UK£, Euros).
Portability
Irie Pascal runs on multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD,
Solaris/x86, and Solaris/Sparc) increasing the number of computers you can work on. This
can be especially useful when time on your classroom/lab computers is limited and you want
to continue to work elsewhere.
Excellent Diagnostics
The Irie Pascal compiler produces meaningful error and warning messages that help
you to quickly identify and correct problems in your programs.
Run-time Checking
Irie Pascal checks your program, for common errors, while it is running. When Irie
Pascal detects an error in your program, your program is halted, and a run-time error
message is displayed. Run-time error messages describe the error that occurred as well as
the exact line in your program that produced the error. This really helps you find and fix
logic errors. For example Irie Pascal checks for things like accessing unitialized
variables and dereferencing nil pointers, which are common errors in student programs.
Standards Compliance
Irie Pascal features strong support for Standard (ISO/IEC 7185) Pascal. By sticking
closely to Standard Pascal you learn how to write programs that will work with any Pascal
compiler. |
