November 16 Online Discussion Question 2

Why use a character entity instead of just typing that symbol or character?

  1. The code can get messed up if you just use the symbol instead of using the entity.

  2. The computer doesn't know that you're not using the symbol or character for a code.

  4. If you use the symbol by itself instead of using the entity, it could mess up the code.

  5. The code will get "broken" the computer will get confused and not know if you are using a symbol or character. Gracie

  6. Your code will not function properly if you do not specify which symbol or character by using its entity.

  7. if you need to put the symbol eg. "<" into your actual text like say you're writing a math problem and u were saying something was greater than something else, it would think you were trying to add in more html instead of just putting a greater than sign in to your text.
