Ambient pressure concept of pressure becomes irrelevant, and it is undefined at a gravitational singularity. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), which is a very small unit relative to atmospheric pressure on Earth, so kilopascals (kPa) are more commonly used in this context. The ambient atmospheric pressure at sea level is not constant: it varies with the weather, but averages around 100 kPa. In fields such as meteorology and underwater diving, it is common to see ambient pressure expressed in bar or millibar. One bar is 100 kPa or approximately ambient pressure at sea level. Ambient pressure may in
Comparison of Pascal and Delphi does not go into Delphi-specific extensions to the language, which are numerous and still increasing. 1. The way procedures and functions can be passed as parameters differs: Delphi requires explicit procedural types to be declared where Standard Pascal does not. 2. Delphi does not support so called 'extraprocedural gotos', in which goto statements may reference targets outside the current procedure/function body. 3. Standard Pascal has file 'buffer variables', together with 'get' and 'put' standard procedures that operate on them. Neither are supported in Delphi. 4. Given a variant record in Standard Pascal, the size of a particular variant can be
