Variables

To declare a global variable, you can do it just after the “program” line, or after any “procedure” or “function” line for a local variable. Please, avoid to declare reserved variables!
When you declare a variable you need to give it a type.

Supported types: Integer, String, WideString, Cardinal, TStringList, Boolean, Real, Word, Char (and some others)

Declaration:

var
   i: integer;
   s:string;
   a,b,c:boolean;

Assignation:

i:=2;
 s:='text';
 a:=true;
 b:=false;
 c:=not (a);

Usage:

if ( (a=true) and (b=false) or (a<>c)) then
begin
    SendRoom(s+' '+inttostr(i),b);
end;

Loops

If (condition) then else:
normal usage:

if (x=1) then
begin
   //do something
end;

“else” usage:

if (x=1) then
begin
   //do something
end else
begin
   //do something else
end;

While (condition) do:

x:=0;
while (x<10) do
begin
  x:=x+1;
  //do something
end;

 

Repeat until (condition):

x:=0;
repeat
  x:=x+1;
  //do something
until (x>=10);

 

For (loop) do:

for x:= 1 to 10 do
begin
    //do something 10 times
end;


Case Switch:




case (x) of
    1:begin
      //do something if x equals 1
    end;
    2:begin
      //do something if x equals 2
    end;
    default:begin
      //do something else if nothing above matches
    end;
end;
