Pascal (unit) Pascal (unit) The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is defined as one newton per square metre. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal. Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa) which is equal to one millibar, and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa) which is equal to one centibar. The unit of measurement called standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as . Meteorological reports typically state atmospheric pressure in millibars. The unit is
Smart Pascal support anonymous methods, but Smart Pascal has one advantage over these native compilers. Under native Pascal (compilers that produce executable machine code), you have class procedures and ordinary procedures. The only difference between these two is that if you want to reference the first (class method) you must postfix the declaration with "of object". This way of referencing a class method is typically used for event declarations. An event is declared thus in ordinary Object Pascal: If you omit the "of object" postfix, the reference can only be used on procedures and functions on unit level. The compiler does not
