Line 16:

The JSP version of the program is structurally equivalent to

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="java">

String line;

Line 30:

System.out.println(firstLineOfGroup + " " + count);

}

</syntaxhighlight>

</source>

and the traditional version of the program is equivalent to

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="java">

String line;

Line 53:

System.out.println(firstLineOfGroup + " " + count);

}

</syntaxhighlight>

</source>

Jackson criticises the traditional version, claiming that it hides the relationships which exist between the input lines, compromising the program's understandability and maintainability by, for example, forcing the use of a special case for the first line and forcing another special case for a final output operation.

Line 133:

If we put all this together, we can convert the diagram and the primitive operations into C, maintaining a one-to-one correspondence between the code and the operations and structure of the program design diagram.

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="c">

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

Line 159:

return EXIT_SUCCESS;

}

</syntaxhighlight>

</source>
