Sample Snippets​

Example

walker init {
     a = 4; b = 5;
     if(a == b): std.out("A equals B");
     elif(a > b): std.out("A is greater than B");
     elif(a == b - 1): std.out("A is one less than B");
     elif(a == b - 2): std.out("A is two less than B");
     else: std.out("A is something else");
 }

Output

A is one less than B

Looping​

for loop​

for (initializing) to (condition) by (incrementing or subtracting):

          # execute when the condition is true.
     }

Sample Snippets​

Example 1:

walker init {
     for i=0 to i<10 by i+=1:
        std.out("Hello", i, "times!");

Hello 1 times!
Hello 2 times!
Hello 3 times!
Hello 4 times!
Hello 5 times!
Hello 6 times!
Hello 7 times!
Hello 8 times!

        std.out("Hello", i, "times!");
 }

Output 2:

Hello 1 times!
Hello jon times!
Hello 3.5 times!
Hello 4 times!

Example 3:

walker init {
     i = 5;
     while(i>0) {
          std.out("Hello", i, "times!");
          i -= 1;
     }
 }

Output 3:

Hello 5 times!
Hello 4 times!
Hello 3 times!
Hello 2 times!
Hello 1 times!

Example 4:

walker init {
     for i=0 to i<10 by i+=1 {
          std.out("Hello", i, "times!");
          if(i == 6): break;
     }
 }

Output 4:

Hello 0 times!
Hello 1 times!
Hello 2 times!
Hello 3 times!
Hello 4 times!
Hello 5 times!
Hello 6 times!

Example 5:

walker init {
     i = 5;
     while(i>0) {
          if(i == 3){
               i -= 1; continue;
          }
          std.out("Hello", i, "times!");
          i -= 1;
     }
 }

Output 5:

Hello 5 times!
Hello 4 times!
Hello 2 times!
