Basic Syntax
Kexra's syntax is designed for readability: statements separated by newlines, keywords in lowercase, and minimal punctuation.
Why this exists
Understanding basic syntax rules prevents syntax errors and enables writing correct programs from the start.
How it works
Programs consist of statements ending with newlines. Keywords are reserved words, identifiers start with letters.
Examples
# Comment
say "Hello" # Statement
set x = 42 # Another statement
Common mistakes
- Using semicolons
- Starting identifiers with numbers
- Misspelling keywords
