    A classical result in complex analysis (called sometimes Jensen's inequality) and some investigations of Il'yashenko and Yakovenko (concerning zeros of solutions to linear differential equations) are applied to the forced pendulum equation. A theorem which gives an upper estimate of the number of periodic solutions is proved.
