Basic syntax - levkopo/VenusScript GitHub Wiki

VenusScript has a simple syntax. Lines of code are written on a new line without semicolons, which makes writing code easier.

Example: print("Hello World!")

Variable types

Type	Description
any	Combines all types
array	Array value
bool	Boolean value
decimal	Double value
ref	Function reference
int	Number value
string	String value
void	Nobody (only for functions)
map	Table (Map) value

Variable declaration

name = value

Functions

Function having string and int parameters with string return type:

def func(string a, int b): string{
    return a+b
}

Functions do not require anything to be returned. Therefore, if the code does not return a value, then the function will return null. Specify a void return type if you don't return anything. You can choose not to specify the return type. The parser will understand this and indicate the return type any. Example:

def func(){
    return "string value"
}

Comments

Only single-line comments work in VenusScript, but block comments may appear soon

#This is single-line comment

Conditional expressions

if a==b {
    println("Nope...")
}else {
    println("Yeah!")
}

Get and verify variable type

a = "I <3 COMPUTER SCIENCE!"
println(*a) #Print "string"
println((*a) == (*string)) #Print true

for loop

# 0..10
for i in (0, 10) {
   println(i)
}

# 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
for i in (16, 24, i + 2) {
   println("i = " + i)
}

# Array
array = [1, 5, 3, 5, 6]
for i in array {
    print(i + " ")
}

while loop

i = 0
while i < 3 {
    println("i = " + i)
    i = i + 1
}
