    aspirin product was ranged at 117.8-125.2C as shown in Table 1. An infrared spectrum for the pure aspirin from the synthesis was taken by using crushed crystals‚ Figure 1. This spectrum was shown with different absorption bands corresponded with the functional groups of aspirin which was observed at frequencies > 1500 cm-1. These infrared frequencies were shown in Table 2. An infrared spectrum of an authentic aspirin was used to distinguish how authentic the infrared spectrum from the synthesis was shown

    which side effects are used depends on the programming paradigm. Imperative programming isknown for its frequent utilization of side effects. In functional programming ‚ side effects are rarely used. Functional languages such as Standard ML ‚ Scheme and Scala do not restrict side effects‚ but it is customary for programmers to avoid them.
