Hi,

Would you think the article is needed or not in?:

Quote:

Classically, optical recognition codes such as barcodes and the like are widely utilized. In recent years, however, RFID and the like utilizing electromagnetic waves are also utilized. The optical recognition codes are such that read out a predetermined mark to obtain the original data.

If omitted, does it make any differences?

Thank you!

It makes no difference; the reader will be distracted with all the bigger problems with the passage. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's
