b. Number of blocks and actual block code c. Number of declarations and actual declaration code Part II (40%) Using the first version of Hello World, change something in every line of code, one change at a time, and note any compilation errors showing in Dr. Javas Compiler Output Window. 1. Change every line of code in the source file (there are 8 lines) with the intent of causing syntax errors. Explain / show what you have changed. 2. Compile the source file after making the change (one at a time) 3. Each time, record / show the compilation error (syntax error) displayed in the Compiler Output Window such that it is clear what change caused what error. 4. Attempt as many different errors as possible in addition to the 8 required. Lets see who discovers the maximum number of errors that can be made in Hello World with 8 lines of code You are free to document the changes and the errors they produced using screenshots as long as the screenshots are inserted in the Word document.
