Var
   int:Integer;

begin
  // Note the lack of a ';' after the 'then' clause
  if False then Writeln('True')
  Else Writeln('False');

  // Nested if statements - Delphi sensibly manages associations
  if true then
    if false then
      Writeln('Inner then satisfied')
    Else
      Writeln('Inner else satisfied')
  Else
    Writeln('Outer else satisfied');
   int := 6;
   case (int mod 2) of
      0:Writeln('Zero');
      1:Writeln('One');
      Else Writeln('Not 1 or 0');
   end;
end.

Output
