Hehe, exactly. 
Funny that calculators can understand unbalanced parentheses whereas just about desktop programming language disallows them.

Any language for which new lines are significant shouldn't have a problem with ambiguity and unclosed parenthesis. Fortunately most languages are more concerned with readability than with code size

Yes, indeed. I guess computers have MUCH more storage available than calculators, however. Therefore it made sense to me in a way.
Haha, that was exactly my thoughts on it when I saw it first

That makes me think that we should convince the Python developers to allow unclosed paired symbols.

Am I the only one to close parenthesizes in TI-BASIC?
I think so! The rest of us like to save bytes, except with the For/If problem. The exception of course is the TI-89/92+/V200. 
Who does BASIC on the 68k calcs anyway?
Code size is virtually irrelevant on computers anyway so don't go giving teh n00bs the ability to massively eff up their code's readability for the sake of inane size saving

The TI-85/86 also requires the close paren, and the For If thing is only an issue if the If is the next byte after the for loop any other locations are unaffected.

Indeed re: the For/If issue. And good point about the TI-85/86, I haven't coded those calcs in my collection extensively enough for the quirk and vagaries of those dialects to have become impressed in my memory. Register to Join the Conversation
