output

output allows the user to print data to the console. output has multiple methods of itself.

• Simple Output

  This method allows one-valued pieces of data to be printed. Wheter it's a variable, string, int, or bool. As long as it's a single value, it's considered Simple Output.

  Example: output "Hello World";

• Mixed Output

  Sometimes will be referred as "Spaghetti Output" involves multiple values in output. Mixed Output is very freeform when it comes to what can or cannot be printed. However, you must use commas to seperate each value. Using something like a plus (+) would make ISEC (What's ISEC?) think you are doing math, which would then cause an error.

  You are able to do math in output, but mixing math and Mixed Output together will cause an error.

  Error example: output 2 + 2, "Is equal to four"; Correct Example: output "I love dogs", "and", "cats";

• Mathematical Output

  This method's only purpose is to solve math. You can use variables in it, but not literals. Failing to do so, will lead to an error. Error Example: output 2 + "Hello!"; Correct Example: output 2 + 5 / 10 * x; // x is a variable in this case

let, declare

let allows the user to create variables. Variables can be used for a multitude of things. Also, to honour the Legacy version of Intext, besides using let to declare a variable, you can use declare. Besides what keyword you can use, similar to output, let has methods.

• Concat

  Allows multiple values to be in one variable. To do so, seperate each value by a comma --> "Hello", " World"

  However, one could also use plus symbols, BUT only if all of the other values are of type string. Reason why, is because ISEC expects values that have + seperating them, to be only of a type int. Since, + is usually used in mathematics. However, when it's of type string, ISEC concats.

  Now, one may wonder, where does the error occur? Well with concat, and even Mixed Output, this is legal. let x: string = "Hello", true, 5, "World", '!'; As jumbled as that mess is, ISEC will evaluate it. In fact, it helps when reading and writing files, to prevent conversion errors. But this however, is not illegal. let x: string = "Hello" + 5; ISEC thinks you are trying to do math since you added an int. So when it tries to add, it doesn't work. To fix it, either make 5 a string or use commas.

  Example: let x: string = "The world population is", 8.1, 'B';

• Mathematics

  Gives the value of the math you input to the variable you want. Suppose you do let x: int = 4 + 2; Then x will equal 6.

  You can even incorporate other variables in the math, so something like

  let x: int = 4;
  let y: int = 10 + x;

  Would have y equal 14.

• Functions

  You can use let to assign the value of functions to a variable. For example, with read() if you do let x: string = read("file.txt") Then x will equal the contents of file.txt. HOWEVER, there are caveats. Whenever you use read(), or basically any function, for safety, you can only have it be assigned to a variable. It's value may not be directly outputed, or used in a concat. For example, doing output read("file.txt") Is illegal, and would result in an error. What to do instead, is to assgin read to a variable, and then output.

  This is all done so ISEC can properly assess each variable, preventing huge critical errors in scripts. So for example, say you output a concat of read() and some other strings (ex: output read("file.txt"), "is my friend", '!') But then it turns out that file.txt doesn't exist! How would ISEC deal with that, without affecting output? So, this is why you must put functions in a variable first before using their value.
