Syntax Snippets

Very simple syntax.

Variables are put in [boxes]

Then the variable [boxes] can be used:

[new_box] = [boxes] multiplied by [boxes]


Functions

Every file is its own function.

Wherever it’s included in another file, it will be executed.

For example ex1.k runs the code in ex2.k five times with:

do { ex2.k } 5 times
