Re: [chuck] Scoping and wishlists

Is there documentation of any kind for the language besides the lex/yacc files and the short tutorial? I've been wondering if all the control structures from C++ are there, e.g., switch statements, break, etc.

if, for, while, do/while, until, do/until are there, no switch, and I believe break isn't here until the next release. (sorry)

Also, is there anyway to access the underlying OS, as in Perl?

actually, there is (whoa). std.system( string ) passes commands to the shell. here is a list - no descriptions, of course. (sorry again) http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/program/stdlib.html also see examples/std.ck Best, Ge!
