Delphi 

Meaning of these operators?

I'm still trying to get what these operators mean In pascal.. I need an accurate answer. I've used textbooks and the Internet but no help

Here are the operators:

;
:=
.
{ }
It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

(:=) is used to set the value of something. Example: label1.text := 'Text here'; NOTE: (:=) it is NOT used to compare values, for that, you just use (=) Example: if i = x then (ect...)
(;) is used at the end of a line. Example: x := 1;
(.) is basically used for properties of an object. Example: edit1.text := 'Text'; NOTE: the (.) shows what property, in this case, the text, we are changing. Objects will usually have multiple properties.
({}) Are commonly used for multi line comments, although when used with a ($) then can set linker properties. Example: {this is a multi line comment} Example 2: {$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

Post if you have any other questions, I hope this was helpful.
