I'm preparation a freeware books for learning Cocoa programming,
and want to answer some FAQ for a outsider. The following question
was asked frequently (even by myself).
Why the C lang behaves like that:
We need to delare variable in advance, in contrast to other
lang, the program simply use without declaring it.
Of course, there are explanation in a typical programming book for
such issue, but most user were not convinced.
I think this behaviour is related to the compiler construction
and history reason rather than actual need.
Is there any sites in the internet which describes why the C lang
(or Pascal) has such such syntax ?
Thanks in advance.
