There are certain data types which are defined by a Pascal compiler as standard data types. These types are generally the atomic data structures used by a Pascal program, as variables and constants that would be made up of them can't be created from something else without these types. The typical standard types include:

Additional standard types which are defined by more advanced compilers include:

  • object - used to declare object types
  • string - used to declare strings which are handled automatically by the compiler and run-time library.
