Syntactic shorthand
The notation in this appendix uses square brackets, [], to denote optional features and asterisks, *, to denote features that can occur zero or more times. When square brackets or asterisks are highlighted, this means they are occurring in the Unicon code rather than as optional or repeated features.
This appendix covers the following topics:
- Running Unicon
- Using Unicon’s declarations and data types
- Evaluating expressions
- Debugging and environmental issues
- Function mini-reference
- Selected keywords
To begin, let’s provide an expanded discussion of how to run Unicon programs.
