Subject: Question about Ada expressions
Date: 11 Oct 89 22:14:02 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8834@spool.cs.wisc.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 16192@vail.ICO.ISC.COM
In Ada, when building boolean expressions you must put ANDs and ORs (and
OR ELSES, etc) in parents IF you use them in mixed combination.
Ex. (A and B or C) -- is not legal. You must write it as...
(A and (B or C))
So the question is -- WHY?
Does this remove some semantic ambiguity? Or is it just the "Ada style!"
Thanks for any responses...
