The end keyword closes a block of instructions started with the begin or case keyword, ends the declaration of fields of a record, or closes a try .. finally or try .. except construct. It is also used to close a unit having no initialization code.
For example: <delphi>
procedure Proc1; var a,b: integer; begin (..) end;
</delphi>
It is also used to end a pascal source file, in which case it is followed by a period rather than a semicolon (in the example below, the last semicolon is optional):
<delphi>
program Proc2; var SL: TStrings; begin SL := TStringlist.Create; try (..) finally SL.Free; end; end.
</delphi>
For a UNIT which contains no initialization, END is used to indicate the end of the unit:
<delphi>
unit detent; uses math; procedure delta(r:real); implementation procedure delta; begin ... end; ... (* Note: No begin statement *) end.
</delphi>
