True, but the convention in Pascal is that indices are 1-based. In addition, Pascal as defined by Wirth and also Standard Pascal (ISO 7185) don't support constant expressions, so you can't write something like this:

const TABLESIZE = 10;
var table: array[0..TABLESIZE-1];

Strings in Pascal are implicitly of type

packed array [1..N] of char

i.e. they are 1-based.

It is perhaps worth mentioning that array declarations in Oberon (a later programming language by Wirth) only include the size of the array, and array indices start with 0.
