    1. An array element can be any data type except would be a structure of the same type. Arrays cannot. 2. A member of a structure can have any data type including another structure, while array elements must be the same data type. 3. Parameters are passed by value unless they are arrays, which are passed by reference. So changing an element in an array parameter would change the original array.

    "A programming language is a language that is intended for the expression of computer
    programs and that is capable of expressing any computer program"

    Ê   
    
    
    × Readability - indicates how easy it is to read and understand programs written in a
    given language

    × a 
    
      
    ¦ ½
    
    
    - a small language is easier to learn and master than a complex language
    multiplicity can be a problem (providing many ways to do the same operation, e.g.
    addition in C)
    ¦     
    - the set of primitive constructs provided by a language can be
    combined in relatively small number of ways to build control and data structures
    ¦    ½   - lack of control leads to poor readability (use of GOTO in early
    languages!)
    ¦       - adequate facilities to define data types and data structures
    help in making a program more readable

    × Writability - how easy it is to write a program in a given language

    × What makes a language writable?


    ¦ ½
    
    
        
    
    ¦ ½     
    - provide facilities to define complex structures or operations
    that allows many details to be ignored
    ¦  
    
    - provide powerful operators that allow one to write a program that can
    do lots computations with only a small number of lines of code

    Reliability - the program should perform to its specification under all conditions

    × Cost -determined by three factors:

    ¦     - how long and how expensive it to write a program (depends


    mainly on the language simplicity)?
    ¦ 
      - how difficult is it to maintain the program (depends on language
    simplicity, variety of compilers and ease of porting to other platforms)?
    ¦ 
    
    
    - how many errors are likely to occur and how difficult and expensive
    would it be to fix them?
