Hmmmmm, I think I prefer a language that doesn't force me to use a certain case
(like Modula-2, that requires that all keywords be UPPER CASE, which I find
both irriating and unreadable).
That said, will C recognize while, WHILE, and While (as well as whIle) as being
the same thing?

Agreed! What version of Mod2 are you using? The one I learned made no such requirement. (In fact, I used to _penalize_ students for doing that when I was a lab assistant in college.) > That said, will C recognize while, WHILE, and While (as well as whIle) as > being the same thing?

No. Spelling must be consistent, and keywords are recognized only when in lowercase. -- Mars in 1980s: USSR, 2 tries, | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology 2 failures; USA, 0 tries. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
