Variables are used to temporarily store any form of data that can be accessed somewhere else in the code. For simplicity, we'll ignore the fact that you can only use variables in children scope. Here is how you create a variable:
Variables are used to temporarily store any form of data that can be accessed somewhere else in the code. For simplicity, we'll ignore the fact that you can only use variables in children scope. Here is how you create a variable:


  $myVariable = 5; // The $ indicates that it is a variable.
  myVariable = 5;


You can alternatively assign the same variable a text value, or a string.

Blocks of code are called when a specific piece of code signals that it is a representation of a block of code. Variables defined in one code block cannot be applied or changed in other nonrelated code blocks; this is known as scope. For example:
Blocks of code are called when a specific piece of code signals that it is a representation of a block of code. Variables defined in one code block cannot be applied or changed in other nonrelated code blocks; this is known as scope. For example:


  $myGlobalVariable = getNumber();
  myGlobalVariable = getNumber();
   
   
  while($myGlobalVariable != 0) {
  while(myGlobalVariable != 0) {
      
      
     $myLocalVariable = 0;
     myLocalVariable = 0;
     $myGlobalVariable = $myLocalVariable;
     myGlobalVariable = myLocalVariable;
  }

  $myLocalVariable = 50; // this is invalid; myLocalVariable does not exist in this scope
  myLocalVariable = 50; // this is invalid; myLocalVariable does not exist in this scope


Once the interpreter reads the closing bracket, it destroys all variable definitions within the scope, therefore you cannot use any of the variables that existed in that particular block of code.

=== Lists ===
You can create new lists using list() and access elements using the [] operator.
my_list = list("something", "something else", "lynch the signal tech");
sig.content += my_list[1]; // adds "something"
You can also create associative lists.
my_list = list("a" = "something", "b" = "something else");
sig.content += my_list["a"]; // adds "something"
You can also use the [] operator on strings
some_string = "something";
sig.content += some_string[4]; // adds "e" since its the 4th character of "something"

Vectors are resizeable data containers for storing any form of entities inside. They are very useful for serving as lists; their members can be instantly accessed provided you have an appropriate position.
