Concatination has lowest precedence in Snobol.

Snobol hates missing or extra blanks in its statements.

Prolog and Lisp still to be covered.

Exam on Tuesday now.

Assignment
Selection
Relation operators
Data types

Snobol value determines data types. The data type chagnes with the value assigned.
Arrays in Snobol are not homogeneous (data types).

wordlist = Array('20') doesn't have any idea what type of data will be stored here, nor does it care.

Pascal indexes (arrays) start wherever they are specified to.
	myArray = array[a..n] of integer; (*is an anonymous array, cannot be passed as a parameter*)

Snobol returns values from a function just like Fortran, by having a value assigned to the function name.

Snobol has no if statements per se. It uses GoTo's based on built-in, (comparison) functions.

Snobol statements end at the end of the line. 

Reasons for studying programming languages:
	
Most important criteria for a language:
	Readibility
		Simplicity
		Orthogonality ~ Hard to grasp. In some cases all cominations are possible
		Control statements
			Selection
			Iteration
			Subprograms
		Syntax
			Reserved words (none in Fortran, lots in Pascal)
			Keywords (lots in Snobol)
	Close second: Writability
	Third place (but still dang important) Reliability
		Exception Handling
		Type checking
		Aliasing
	Fourth (minor detail here) Cost	

Compilation and Interpretation Difference?
	Compilation interprets once and can be run many times afterwards.
	Interpretation translates every time code is needed to run.

Take a look at the slides for Lecture 2 from the book! It'll be on the exam! (Chapters 1, 3, 5, 6) Grammars, Bindings...
