Braces and Semicolons
A node definition consists of one or more statements. If the
definition contains more than one statement, then each statement
must end with a semicolon and the group of statements must be
enclosed within braces. This creates a statement block. The
example below contains three separate statements.
Profit:={
var sales=100;
var costs=60;
return sales-costs;
}
In JavaScript, semicolons are optional inside statement
blocks. However, omitting semicolons is generally regarded as bad
programming practice because it leads to code behaving in a way
you did not expect. For this reason, semicolons are required in
DScript statement blocks.
If the node definition contains only one statement, no braces
or semicolons are required.
Profit:=Sales-Costs
