Functions

A function is a often named block of code that accepts multiple values as parameters.

Functions take a fairly familiar approach in MiniScript as they do in other languages. They can be declared as below:

func <function name>(...<parameter name>: <parameter type>) [-> <return type>]

Here is an example of a function:

func sum(input: number[]) -> number {
  // ...
}

Functions can be referenced and called by their name with a list of appropriate arguments (ex. sum([1, 2, 3]))

Variables store a value by a name. You can assign a value to a variable via the following:

<variable name> = <value>

If statements allow you to dictate what happens if a certain condition is met. This takes the format of:

if (<condition>) {
  <...then>
} else if (<another condition>) {
  <...then>
} else {
  <...then>
}

The else keyword represents the case where the previous condition was not met.
