Yup. Even though the line would never be seen, it's still supposed to be there.
The program doesn't even need it to know it ends.
IIRC, it's a holdover from ancient times when memory was more volatile. A loop may be broken. So, you still include the END.
I learned all those languages in high school computer class. I remember reading the textbooks for the computer class from front cover to back cover the very first day of school. I never got a single question wrong on a single test the whole school year. People were accusing me of being a computer LoL
My only formal course was about programming in C, but I had other courses that included some programming as a part of them. I was well into college by this point. However, my high school had a few fancy computers from back in the early 70s and I used those.
Frankly, I didn't even like computers for a long time. They were a pain in the ass and slower than i could often do in my head or with a calculator. Computers didn't really do anything, unless you made them do something.
Yeah I remember back then that they would tell us that a computer is going to be in every house and I was thinking to myself, why? Most people in the computer class struggle to get the computer to do anything
