Chapter 2, Problem 35RQ

Explanation of Solution

The characteristics of C that make it less safe than Pascal:

C was insecure compared to Pascal due its lack of complete type checking and management of pointers.

  • Pascal has a better ability to detect type-related errors at compile time, whereas C allows more flexible handling of mixed data-types when required.
  • A language is strongly typed if:
    • (1) Every object in the language belongs to exactly one type.
    • (2) Type conversion occurs by converting a value from one type to another.
  • Conversion does not occur by viewing the representation of a value as a different type.
  • Although C is a typed language, it is not strongly typed whereas Pascal comes close to a strongly typed language.
  • For example in C, functions can be written and parameters types were not all checked until C version C99...
