Abstract
This chapter discusses the amount of memory needed to hold the various types of variables available in Pascal, and gives code sequences for their access. The first section deals with scalars, the second section with records, arrays, sets and files, and the third section deals with pointers and the heap. The possible effects of packing records and arrays are also discussed in section 13.2.
