Getting started

In programming, there are two types of functions. One is called "void", which means that a function does not return anything. The second, can return a value, such as a string, a number, or anything else.

In Jacob, the functions that their type is void called "Functions", while the second type that return a value is called "Variables" (aka "System Variables").

In the functions section of the docs, you can view each function of Jacob functions with a description and example usage.

In the variables section fo the docs, you can view each variable of the Jacob variables with a description and example usage.

Syntax

Functions

The Jacob functions syntax is the following:

#functionName[Argument 1; Argument 2; Argument 3; Argument 4; etc..]

Every function is starting with "#" symbol, then the function name. The arguments for the function are inside "[]" brackets, with a ";" seperating each one of them.

System Variables (variables)

The system variables (aka variables) syntax is the following:

$variableName()

System variables does not have any arguments, while functions does.
