Bar (unit) Bar (unit) The bar is a metric unit of pressure, but is not approved as part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 Pa, which is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. The bar and the millibar were introduced by the Norwegian meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes, who was a founder of the modern practice of weather forecasting. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) lists the bar as one of the "non-SI units [that authors] should have the freedom to use", but has declined to
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
