Modification of the examples, and also a lot of experimentation with specific aspects of the code is strongly encouraged. This practice will quicken the learning process and more likely foster an early appreciation and understanding of the material that is presented. Any student who uses ‘Learning Pascal The Beginner's Guide’ optimally, shall surely reap his/her great reward in terms of the SBA (school based assessment) where applicable and in external exams.
