Program Structure

A Sydrogen program consists of declarations and statements.

A simple program looks like:

Open Nunction Main()
{
    Int I = 0;

    While (I < 10)
    {
        Print(\V"{I}");
        I = I + 1;
    }
}

Sydrogen uses braces {} to delimit function and control-flow bodies.

Statements are terminated with ;.

Top-Level Declarations

Top-level declarations can include:

• Function definitions
• Variable declarations
• Data declarations
• Import statements

The exact behavior of some declarations depends on the current compiler implementation. Use and Using imports are resolved before semantic analysis and work with either backend. Data and object code generation still has limitations; see Current Limitations for details.

Statement Terminators

Every statement ends with a semicolon. This includes variable declarations, assignments, function calls, control-flow statements, and the Stop statement. The semicolon tells the parser where one statement ends and the next begins.

Braces

Braces group statements into a single block. They are used for:

• Function bodies
• If / Else If / Else branches
• While loop bodies
• For loop bodies
• Data declaration bodies
• Object initializer bodies
