Succ
Function
Increment an ordinal variable System unit
 function Succ ( const Ordinal Value ) : Ordinal type;
Description
The Succ function increments an ordinal value, and returns this value.
 
You can increment :
 
Characters 
Non-floating number types 
Enumeration types 
Pointers 

 
The increment is by the base size of the unit. For example, incrementing a Pointer will be by 4 bytes if the pointer points to Words.
 
Notes
Succ is equivalent in performance to simple addition, or the Inc procedure.

Example code : Incrementing characters, numbers and enumerations
type
  TSuit = (Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades);

var
  Character : char;
  Number    : Integer;
  Card      : TSuit;

begin
  // We can increment characters
  Character := 'A';

  ShowMessage('Character : '+Character);
  Character := Succ(Character);
  ShowMessage('Character+1 : '+Character);

  // We can increment numbers
  Number := 23;

  ShowMessage('Number : '+IntToStr(Number));
  Number := Succ(Number);
  ShowMessage('Number+1 : '+IntToStr(Number));

  // We can increment enumerations
  Card := Clubs;

  ShowMessage('Card starts at Clubs');
  Card := Succ(Card);
  if Card = Hearts then ShowMessage('Card is now Hearts');
  if Card = Clubs then ShowMessage('Card is now Clubs');
  if Card = Diamonds then ShowMessage('Card is now Diamonds');
  if Card = Spades then ShowMessage('Card is now Spades');
end;
