Anders Gustaf Ekeberg specifically, tantalite from Kimito, Finland and yttrotantalite from Ytterby, Sweden. Ekeberg named the new element after the mythical Ancient Greek demigod Tantalus who, according to legend, was condemned to eternal frustration when he had to stand in water up to his neck, but the water receded as he attempted to drink. Ekeberg suffered from poor health throughout his life. During his childhood a severe cold had impaired his hearing, which was further weakened over the years, so that it hindered his teaching activities. Subsequently, a gas explosion blinded him in one eye. Ekeberg was portrayed by his friends and students
Unreachable code of the values of variables and other conditions at run time. In some languages (e.g. Java ) some forms of unreachable code are explicitly disallowed. The optimization that removes unreachable code is known as dead code elimination. Code may become "unreachable" as a consequence of the internal transformations performed by an optimizing compiler (e.g., common subexpression elimination). In practice the sophistication of the analysis performed has a significant impact on the amount of unreachable code that is detected. For example, constant folding and simple flow analysis shows that the inside of the if-statement in the following code is "unreachable": However,
