Characters¶

Programs are written using the Unicode 6.2 character set.

Line breaks¶

A line break is defined as follows:

line-break = ? ASCII LF character ?
           | ? ASCII CR character ? [? ASCII LF character ?] ;

An input character is defined as any unicode code point that is not a line break.

A whitespace is defined as follows:

whitespace = line-break
           | " "                    (* space *)
           | ? ASCII HT character ? (* horizontal tab *) ;

Comments come in two forms: an inline form, and a block form.

inline comments (// text) mark all the characters from // until a line breaks to be ignored by the compiler.
block comments (/* text */) mark all the characters from /* until the matching */ to be ignored by the compiler. Block comments may nest.
