Control flow

🔗If statements

If statements allow you to execute a block of code based on a condition. In Tim Engine, you can use if, elif, and else to create conditional statements. For example:

var fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "apricot", "avocado"]
if $fruits[0] == "apple":
  p: "This is an apple."
elif $fruits[1] == "banana":
  p: "This is a banana."
else:
  p: "This is a fruit."

🔗For loops

For loops allow you to iterate over a sequence of values. In Tim Engine, you can use the for keyword to create a for loop.

var fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for $fruit in $fruits:
  p: "I like " & $fruit

🔗For in range

Here is an example using the .. operator to create a range of numbers:

for $i in 0..5:
  p: "The value of i is " & $i

🔗While loops

While loops allow you to execute a block of code as long as a condition is true. In Tim Engine, you can use the while keyword to create a while loop. For example:

var count: int = 0
while $count < 5:
  p: "Count is " & $count
  inc($count)

🔗Break

You can use break to exit a loop early. For example:

var count: int = 0
while $count < 10 {
  if $count == 5:
    break  // exit the loop when count is 5
  p: "The value of count is " & $count
  inc($count)
}
