Hi, I was wondering if some of the syntax checking can be left for the c compiler to handle. For example, As I understand the requirements, we don't need to check if functions are defined before being called, since the c compiler will check and report the error anyway.

When it means checking the syntax, do we have to check for all cases, eg if we have a comment in the middle of a print call print incre#ment(3) + increment(4) TIA.
