Statement Syntax

In SARL, statements are instructions that will be executed. A statement may be one of the elements described in the rest of this document.

As compared to programming languages as Java and C++, there is no need to terminate a statement with the ; character. Use of this statement terminator is optional, and used if you want to put multiple statements on a line. To continue a statement on the next line, you end the line with the \ character.

For instance, the two following lines are equivalent:

var myVariable : int = 5

var myVariable : int = 5;
