7. Compare and contrast a macro and an inline function in C++. Which one is more efficient in execution time? Which one is easier for programmers to write? 9. Which type equivalence leads to strong type checking, structural equivalence, or name equivalence? Explain your answer. 10. Use BNF notation to define a small programming language that includes the definition of variable, math-operator, math-expression, condition-operator, condition-expression, assignment statement, loop statement, switch statement, and a block of statements. A variable must start and end with a letter an unusual requirement). A single letter is a valid variable. The definition of the expression must be able to handle nested expressions like 2* (x + y) and 5*((u + v)*(x - y)). The language must include the following statements: Assignment: It assigns (the value of) a variable or an expression to a variable. For example, x 2* (y + 2). Conditional: if-then and if-then-else. The condition in the statement can be simply defined as an expression. For-loop: For example, for (i = 0; i
