Functions

Calling functions

Functions are called by typing the function name followed by a set of brackets. Functions can optionally be passed arguments inside the brackets, separated by commas.

Example:

this_function_takes_no_args()
this_function_takes_args("an argument")

Defining functions

Functions are usually defined using the func keyword, followed by a function name and a set of brackets. Between the brackets you can optionally take arguments by putting argument names inside the brackets, separated by commas. Functions can use multiline or singleline. In v0.0.3 and below, only singleline functions can return data. Since v0.0.4, both types can return data (multiline needs to use return).

Example:

func add(a, b) -> a + b

func multiline(name)
    print("Hello, " + name)
    print("This is a multiline function")
    return "I can return stuff"
end
