Similarly find an ADA programmer who definitely cannot understand this.

'C'

    for (Current_Day=Monday; Current_Day <= Friday; Current_Day = Current_Day + 1)
        {
		Go_To_Work();
		}
    
    while (Batter_Remains_In_Bowl && People_Are_Still_Hungry)
        {
		Make_More_Pancakes();
		}

    if (You_Are_Sleepy)
        {
		Go_To_Sleep();
		}


'Pascal'

    for Current_Day:=Monday TO Friday DO
		Go_To_Work;
    
    while Batter_Remains_In_Bowl AND People_Are_Still_Hungry DO
		Make_More_Pancakes;

    if You_Are_Sleepy THEN
		Go_To_Sleep;
