It has to do with the fact that the entire program body is one of these unitary clause things, and a unitary clause has to return something (i.e. not VOID). > I did make the point about semicolons a couple of days ago, but JP > didn't want to acknowledge it and tried to make it all about me: You may not appreciate the milieu into which Algol 68 was born: it’s all about whether semicolons are terminating something, or separating things from each other, and there was a big controversy over which was best. Algol 68 strictly adheres to the semicolons-as-separators paradigm. Other languages (like Pascal) tried to be more lenient, by allowing empty statements so semicolons could look like they were terminating statements, rather than actually separating them. (But Pascal also uses semicolons as declaration *terminators*, not separators, so there’s consistency for you.) Remember also that Algol 68 doesn’t strictly separate expressions and statements, the way Pascal does. C inherits some of this characteristic from Algol 68, too. But it doesn’t inherit a lot of the other syntactic niceties that come with this, like allowing “( ... )” as a synonym for “BEGIN ... END”, or using the same “IF ... FI” (and its equivalent parenthesis form) for both conditional expressions and conditional statements. And also allowing CASE-expressions, in addition to CASE- statements.
