Succ

unit
System
category
ordinal routines

declaration
function Succ(X);

description
Rreturns the successor of the ordinal value.

Succ goes to the element listed after X in the type declaration. Succ(x) is the same as Inc(x,1) - the diference is that Inc changes the x variable (it's procedure) and Succ does not (function).

example
type TExperience=(Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced);

var aProg : TExperience;
	
aProg := Intermediate;

aProg := Succ(aProg);

//aProg = Advanced
