_{Official ZPE/YASS documentation}Different ways of writing it

One of ZPE's biggest prides is that there are many ways of writing something and it all depends on your style.

The main reason behind this is to make it easier to come from different languages, and whilst YASS does offer some flexibility, it does not lead to incompatibilities.

It's also important to note that although there is flexibility in YASS, it is not designed to be syntactically the same as other languages.

Here's an example

for ($i = 0 to 1000){
  print($i)
}
for (i = 0 to 1000){
  print(i)
}

for ($i = 0 to 1000)
  print($i)
end for

for ($i = 0 to 1000)
  print($i)
end loop

for $i = 0 to 1000:
  print($i)
end for
  

From the above, you can see several ways of writing the same code and you'll notice:

• ZPE has supported for...end for since the beginning.
• ZPE has supported for { } since near the beginning.
• ZPE has also supported for...end loop (and of course while...end while and while...end loop)
