Intro

A computer program is a list of "instructions" to be "executed" by a computer. In a programming language, these programming instructions are called statements. A Kin program is a list of programming statements.

Semicolons ;

In most programming languages like C, C++, ... a semicolon is used to terminate a statement. In Kin, a semicolon is not required. But there are some use cases where you need to use a semicolon.

• A semicolon is required when you declare a variable but you don't assign a value to it.

reka x; # This will work
reka x # This will not work

• A semicolon is required when a function returns but there's not expression to return.

porogaramu_ntoya main() {
    tanga; # This will work
}

In General a semicolon is used to tell Kin that there's an ommited statement.

White Spaces

Kin ignores multiple spaces. You can add white space to your script to make it more readable. The following lines are equivalent:

reka x = 5
reka x=5
