In ASCII, the character code decimal 36 (or hexadecimal 24) is defined to be $ (dollar sign).
Pascal
As a PXSC-extension, the symbol $, pronounced “dollar sign”, is used to indicate a hexadecimal base.
program dollarSignDemo(input, output, stderr);
var
i: longint;
begin
// '$' as well as '0x' are recognized by readLn
// as hexadecimal base prefixes
readStr('$24', i);
writeLn(i); // will print 36
writeLn(-$24); // will print -36
end.
An optional sign is written in front the base indicator.
other appearances
For FPC and Delphi compilers, the dollar sign appears in compiler directives of the form {$directive}.
