Comments

Users can insert comments anywhere in a script. Comments are not executed like regular code. Instead, they can be used for documentation or temporarily disable blocks of code.

...

// This is a single-line comment
/* This is a
 * multi-line
 * comment.*/

Calling Functions

A function takes in some parameters and returns a value. Functions let you re-use pieces of code without re-writing everything.

...

For example, tag.write takes two arguments. The first is the tag name, and the second is the value to write. The script below writes the value 1 to the tag called "my_tag":

tag.write("my_tag", 1);

Declaring Variables

Variables let you store values and access them later in the script.

...

Using and Setting Variables

Once a variable has been declared, you can assign a new value to it using the assignment operator =. For example:

...

tag.write("my_tag", 1);

Operators and Parentheses

You can add, subtract, multiply, and use other operators on variables and other values. See the “Operators” section for more information.

...

add(1, 2)         // 3
add(add(1, 2), 3) // 6

Reading and Writing Tag Values

To get a tag’s current value, use tag.read. This takes in one argument, which is the name of the tag, and returns the tag’s value.

To write a tag value, use tag.write. This takes in two arguments: the name of the tag and the value to write. There is no return value.

...

Semicolons

JavaScript uses semicolons to indicate the end of expressions. Using semicolons at the end of lines is not required, but is recommended for better organization and clarity:

...

some_function();some_other_function;

Whitespace

JavaScript ignores whitespace characters like spaces, tabs, and line breaks.
