Most programming languages don't have an "address of" operator. That's because it's a potentially unsafe operation. I think your usage of Pascal sounds more like trying to operate a motorcycle like a bicycle.
- DonHopkins 6y agoPascal has what it call pointers, but doesn't have what C calls pointer arithmetic, or a way to take the address of any field of a structure or any element of an array. So Linus's elegant linked list solution is possible in C, but not Pascal. I don't get your metaphor that Pascal is a motorcycle and C is a bicycle. Just the opposite.
