3 Ways to Write a Follow Script.


My first full length scripting video...complicated and long...but I hope the editing at least makes sense.
I'd love any feedback on how to better explain what's going on with the scripting process.
And, though I hesitate to ask, I'd love any feedback on anything I missed or got wrong

[Mr.Stalin]

Instead of the old assignment := you can use modern way =

There are some tricks to writing code, so writing the word
'var' press the Tab key and the word replaced to 'variable'
the same thing with:
proc -> Тab -> procedure
if -> Тab
elif -> Тab
while/for -> Тab

to avoid writing the keyword 'end' every time, press Enter after the keyword 'begin' - this will automatically insert the keyword end.
