Formatting
In FatScript, whitespace and indentation are irrelevant, yet they are very welcome to make the code more readable and easier to understand.
Whitespace
- A newline character (
\n) indicates the end of an expression, except when:- the last token on the line is an operator
- the first token of the next line is a non-unary operator
- using parentheses to group expressions
- Expressions can be on the same line if separated by comma (
,) or semicolon (;)
Comments
Comments start with #, and are terminated by a newline:
a = 5 # this is a comment
Note
FatScript does not support multiline comments at the moment. Additionally, text literals may end up as a valid return value if left as the last standing line, due to the auto-return feature. Therefore, it is recommended to stick to the single line comment format.
