Syntax

begin
  Statement...
end

Description

The begin keyword starts a block. A block is the main body of a program, library, procedure, function, or unit. A block can enclose any number of statements and can be used anywhere a single statement is required, such as the body of a conditional or loop statement.

The begin keyword works the same way in Delphi as it does in standard Pascal. You can also write a block in assembly language, using the asm keyword instead of begin.
