Strangely I had the experience (almost 46 years ago) of writing a program a week for a semester, without encountering either a bug or compilation error. It wasn't until my first assembly language program that I encountered one (a period in one statement where a comma should have been). They were to be sure, very simple programs (similar to the very easiest problems on Project Euler).
