Language Feature Requests

You posted this in the Question and Tips area of the KB, sorry that's not the correct place for that, and you should have a look at the documentation as some of your requests are already available in version 3.7

  • FOR loops
The #for Directive--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
  • BREAK statements inside loops
The #switch, #case, #range and #break Directives has been modified to handle breaks in loops now.--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
SWITCH statements are not loops. Examples of loops are the WHILE and FOR statements. SharkD 22:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Unary operators -- and ++
  • Binary operators +=, -=, /=, *=, etc.

  • ELSEIF statements
The #if...#else...#end Directives--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Don't see ELSEIF mentioned anywhere. SharkD 22:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

The #ifdef and #ifndef Directives--jholsenback 20:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
IFDEF and IFNDEF are statements. They are not variables. SharkD 22:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
