Language Basics

This section covers the basic building blocks of the ArcScript language.

Variables

Variables are declared using a name followed by = and an expression.

ArcScript:

message = "Hello, World!"
count = 100

JavaScript Output:

let message = "Hello, World!";
let count = 100;

Printing to the Console

The print() function transpiles to console.log() in JavaScript. It can accept multiple arguments.

ArcScript:

user_name = "Alex"
score = 95
print("User:", user_name, "Score:", score)

JavaScript Output:

let user_name = "Alex";
let score = 95;
console.log("User:", user_name, "Score:", score);

Operators

ArcScript supports standard arithmetic, comparison, and logical operators.

Arithmetic Operators

Standard operators for calculations.

• Addition: +

• Subtraction: -

• Multiplication: *

• Division: /

• Modulous: %

Comparison Operators

Used in conditional logic.

• Equal: ==

• Not Equal: !=

• Greater Than: >

• Less Than: <

• Greater Than or Equal: >=

• Less Than or Equal: <=

Logical Operators

ArcScript keywords are transpiled to their JavaScript equivalents.

• and becomes &&

• or becomes ||

• not becomes !

• is becomes ===

• True becomes true

• False becomes false

ArcScript:

is_active = True
score = 80
if score > 50 and is_active is True
    print("You can proceed.")

JavaScript Output:

let is_active = true;
let score = 80;
if (score > 50 && is_active === true) {
    console.log("You can proceed.");
}
