There are several ways to use strings in GNU Pascal. One of them is
the use of the intrinsic string type `String' which is a
predefined schema type. The schema discriminant of this type holds
the maximal length, which is of type Integer, so values up to
MaxInt
can be specified. For `String', an assignment is
defined. There are many built-in functions and procedures for
comfortable strings handling.

Another way to use strings is to use arrays of type `Char'. For these, an intrinsic assignment is defined as well. Besides, `String' and `Char' are assignment compatible. The preferred way, however, is `String' because of the numerous possibilities for string handling.
