Strings And Text
Greeting A User
This example uses a default parameter and interpolation.
greeting(name is string, punctuation is string = "!") is string (
return `Hello, {name}{punctuation}`
)greeting(name is stringpunctuation is string = "!") is string(return `Hello, {name} {punctuation}`)
Constructing Multiline Text
Both string delimiter forms support multiline text. Backticks allow interpolation; the shared leading whitespace is trimmed, and whitespace-only boundary lines are excluded.
addressLabel(name is string, city is string, country is string) is string (
return `
{name}
{city}
{country}
`
)addressLabel(name is stringcity is stringcountry is string) is string(return `
{name}
{city}
{country}
`)
Describing A List
This function combines array iteration, branching, mutation, and interpolation.
bulletList(items is string[]) is string (
result is var string = "Items:"
items each item index (
position = index + 1
result += `\n{position}. {item}`
)
return result
)bulletList(items is string []) is string(result var string = "Items:" items each item index(position = index + 1 result += `\n {position} . {item}`) return result)
Formatting A Small Report
This denser string example keeps each meaningful operation on its own line.
scoreReport(name is string, scores is int[]) is string (
total is var int = 0
scores each score (
total += score
)
count = scores.length
average = total / count
return `Student: {name}\n` +
`Scores: {scores}\n` +
`Average: {average}`
)scoreReport(name is stringscores is int []) is string(total var int = 0 scores each score(total += score) count = scores .length average = total / count return `Student: {name} \n` + `Scores: {scores} \n` + `Average: {average}`)
