Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1, Problem 17PS
Explanation of Solution
Chances of syntax errors between Pascal and Java while using semicolon:
Pascal uses semicolons to separate statements while JAVA uses semicolons to terminate statements.
- One of these approaches is more natural while the other is more error free syntactically.
- We personally feel that the Pascal approach is more natural as semicolons are used in English to separate different parts of a sentence.
- So, it should come naturally to an English speaker that a semicolon should be used to separate statements.
- So, this approach seems more natural. While the approach used by JAVA is less to prone to syntactic errors...
