If you run it against programs of any complexity you either get code that won't compile (syntax error) OR you get code that has many more bugs (runtime errors).
geeze... remember when "computer science" wasn't an oxymoron?
I don't believe it is. Unfortunately, I've yet to deal with a company or project that applied it to IT support or software development formally and consistently. Instead, we get XP and unit tests instead of correct code with known failure cases. It should be noted that, to the best of my knowledge, there is no BASIC dialect with a behavior as well specified as the C or C++ standards. (Those leave a bit to be desired, too, but are probably the best we have.) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
