Bar (unit) mb (rather than the proper mbar) to denote the millibar. Between 1793 and 1795, the word bar was used for a unit of weight in an early version of the metric system. Atmospheric air pressure is often given in millibars, where standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is defined as 1013.25 mbar, 101.325 kPa, 1.01325 bar, which is about . Despite the millibar not being an SI unit, meteorologists and weather reporters worldwide have long measured air pressure in millibars as the values are convenient. After the advent of SI units, some meteorologists began using hectopascals (symbol hPa) which are
Pascal (programming language) R. Hoare. Pascal programs start with the program keyword with a list of external file descriptors as parameters<ref name="iso/iec 7185:1990 6.10">Pascal ISO 7185:1990 6.10</ref> (not required in Turbo Pascal etc.); then follows the main block bracketed by the begin and end keywords. Semicolons separate statements, and the full stop (i.e., a period) ends the whole program (or "unit"). Letter case is ignored in Pascal source. Here is an example of the source code in use for a very simple "Hello world" program: A type in Pascal, and in several other popular programming languages, defines a variable in such a way
