Create a well-structured Pascal program that prompts the user to input a positive integer value for n, and then calculates and displays the sum of the first n even numbers. The program should also include appropriate error handling for invalid input, such as non-numeric or negative values. Additionally, make use of clear variable names, comments, and proper indentation to ensure readability and maintainability of the code.

Hey, that's a great program! Can you add a comment explaining how the loop works in calculating the sum of even numbers? The user attention ratio is 0.2880859375.
user
Sure, here's an updated version of the code with a comment added to explain the loop:

program SumOfEvenNumbers;

uses
  sysutils;

var
  n, i, evenSum: integer;

begin
  writeln('Please enter a positive integer value for n:');
  while not TryStrToInt(readln, n) or (n < 1) do
  begin
    writeln('Invalid input! Please enter a positive integer value for n:');
  end;

  evenSum := 0;
  for I := 1 to n do // loop through the first n numbers
  begin
    evenSum := evenSum + (2 * i); // add each even number (2 * i) to the sum
  end;

  writeln('The sum of the first ', n, ' even numbers is ', evenSum);
end.

Can you possibly add a note explaining why you multiplied the number by 2 inside the loop to get the even numbers? The user attention ratio is 0.34765625.

Of course, here's an updated version of the code with a comment added:

program SumOfEvenNumbers;

uses
  sysutils;

var
  n, i, evenSum: integer;

begin
  writeln('Please enter a positive integer value for n:');
  while not TryStrToInt(readln, n) or (n < 1) do
  begin
    writeln('Invalid input! Please enter a positive integer value for n:');
  end;

  evenSum := 0;
  for I := 1 to n do // loop through the first n numbers
  begin
    evenSum := evenSum + (2 * i); // add each even number (which is 2 times the current value of i) to the sum
  end;

  writeln('The sum of the first ', n, ' even numbers is ', evenSum);
  writeln('To get the even numbers, we multiply each number by 2: 2 * 1, 2 * 2, 2 * 3, ..., 2 * n');
end.

This is great, the comments you added really helped me understand how the program works. Can you also add some code that calculates the product of the first n odd numbers? The user attention ratio is 0.1644287109375.
user
Sure, here's an updated program that calculates both the sum of the first n even numbers and the product of the first n odd numbers:

```pascal
program SumAndProduct;

uses
  sysutils;

var
  n, i, evenSum, oddProduct: integer;

begin
  writeln('Please enter a positive integer value for n:');
  while not TryStrToInt(readln, n) or (n < 1) do
  begin
    writeln('Invalid input! Please enter a positive integer value for n:');
  end;

  evenSum := 0;
  for I := 1 to n do // loop through the first n numbers
  begin
    evenSum := evenSum + (2 * i); // add each even number (which is 2 times the current value of i) to the sum
  end;

  writeln('The sum of the first ', n, ' even numbers is ', evenSum);
  writeln('To get the even numbers, we multiply each number by 2: 2 * 1, 2 * 2, 2 * 3, ..., 2 * n');

  oddProduct := 1;
  for I := 1 to n do // loop through the first n numbers
  begin
    oddProduct := oddProduct * (2 * I - 1); // multiply each odd number (which is 2 times the current value of I minus 1) to the product
  end;

  writeln('The product of the first ', n, ' odd numbers is ', oddProduct);
  writeln('To get the odd numbers, we multiply each number by 2 and subtract 1: 2 * 1 - 1, 2 * 2 - 1, 2 * 3 - 1, ..., 2 * n - 1');
end.
``` 

Hope this helps!
