3. Description of any known compile/runtime errors, or bugs.

   • RUNTIME: If there is an unclosed quotation character (either " or ') it will give inaccurate readings.
     • This issue will most likely come about when a comment has a word with an apostrophe
     • This is because the syntax checker accounts for string and character literals that would allow for incorrect delimiters.
       • For example the string literal: "this is an incorrect delimiter sequence: [})"
       • Or the character literal: ')'
     • Additionally, becuase the language being checked is ambiguous, it is impossible to know what comment style is being used, meaning that comments will be checked for correct delimiters and quotation.
     • Quotes are kept track of using a boolean flag that is thrown off by an unclosed quotation character (see SyntaxChecker.cpp lines 74-77)
