  Yes there is a rule, because PASCAL was designed as a teaching language,
thats why we use it : the goal is that if we only use standard PASCAL, we
will have the ability to program in any other language, by just learning the
syntax.
If You only program in PASCAL, then thats another issue :-)

so I will use :
IF input MOD 2 = 1 THEN element[n] := 1;
instead of :
IF ODD (input) THEN element[n] := 1;
