Chapter 2: Basic Semantics and Features of Crystal

In this chapter, you will learn the basics of Crystal programming to bring you up to speed even if you don't know yet how to write a single line of Crystal code. Here you will learn about things common to many other programming languages, such as variables, functions, and control structures, and features particular to Crystal, such as the type system and passing blocks. It is expected that you have prior basic experience with some other programming language.

This chapter will cover the following main topics:

Values and expressions
Controlling the execution flow with conditionals
Exploring the type system
Organizing your code in methods
Data containers
Organizing your code in files
