   I'm sure you are...but where were you during the semester's classes 
and assignments?  Was this instructor so "bad" he/she wouldn't answer any 
questions or provide explanations? 
   Here you are, and the end of this class, no doubt having done no work 
whatsoever so far, and all you can do is "blame the rotten instructor".  
Do you know how many times these NGs have seen lame and pathetic begging 
almost identical to yours?  
   Well, you're not going to get any sympathy or specific code help here, 
because giving homework/assignment programs to such as you just isn't 
done.  Had you posted anything more than this groveling - such as some 
design or code you've already done - we would have been willing to offer 
help.  Since you didn't (and thereby demonstrating no personal 
initiative), why should anyone rush to your aid, to give you code to hand 
in and "slide" with, so you'll learn absolutely nothing about Pascal 
programming or problem solving?  
   Is that how you'll deal with every "tough situation" throughout the 
rest of your life?
   <sigh...>
