    The document contains a SNOBOL program that calculates the sum of integers from 1 to 35 using a goto field to loop instead of an explicit loop statement. It also briefly explains two unique features of SNOBOL: it was designed for quick string manipulation and pattern matching using a virtual machine, anticipating modern languages.

    [8+4]
    (a) Write down a program in SNOBOL that calculates the sum of integers from 1 to 35
    using loop (use goto field for conditional jumps as there is no explicit loop statement in
    SNOBOL).
    Answer:
    sum=0
    term=1
    loop sum=sum+term
    term=term+1
    LE(term,35)
    OUTPUT = "The sum is" sum
    END

    (b) Briefly explain at least 2 features that are unique in SNOBOL (not present commonly
    in programming languages). Explanation of each feature should not be more than two
    lines.

    Answer:
    It is designed for quick and dirty string manipulation/pattern matching. It was one of the
    first languages to use a virtual machine thus anticipating Java and the like. It has since
    been out-quicke and out-dirtied by newer languages and tools such as Perl.
