That means another complication of the language, to
which it is not well suited, c.f. the C style:
int A = 0, B = 1, C = 2;
Initialisation is a special and redundant way to as-
sign a value to a variable. Is this mixing of dec-
laration and action a good idea? Why not keep them
separate?
If you must save vertical space, write your initial
assignments on one line:
var A, B, C: Integer;
begin
A := 1; B := 2; C := 3;
{ work }
end;
