- KEYWORDS:
-
- There are a few keywords in the RLaB language. They are:
-
- if
- else
- while
- for
- in
- break
- continue
- function
- local
- static
- return
- help
- rfile
- quit
- $self
- $$
-
- These words, when seen are instantly recognized as keywords.
- There use as anything else is an error. To get help on any of
- the keywords type `help KEYWORD' (the keyword in upper-case).
-
- Builtin functions are not the same as keywords, although you
- will have some trouble if you try to use one of them as an
- ordinary variable. In fact, builtin functions are ordinary
- variables, with one exception; users cannot change them. Thus,
- if you try to re-assign a builtin function you will get an
- error message.
-
- On the other hand, user-functions are exactly like ordinary
- functions, they can be re-assigned or deleted altogether.
