Variables​

# Type inference
x = 42
name = "hello"
pi = 3.14

# Explicit types
int count = 10
int64 large = 9223372036854775807
float ratio = 0.5
str text = "world"
bool flag = true

Operators​

# Arithmetic
result = 10 + 5 * 2
power = 2 ** 10
div = 20 // 4  # integer division
mod = 17 % 5

# Comparison
if x == y:
    print("equal")
if x != y:
    print("not equal")

# Logical
if a and b:
    print("both true")
if not flag:
    print("false")

# Bitwise
mask = 0xFF & value
shifted = x << 2

Control Flow​

If/Else​

if score >= 90:
    print("A")
elif score >= 80:
    print("B")
else:
    print("C")

Switch​

        print("Tuesday")
    default:
        print("Other")

    print(i)
    i += 1

# For
for item in collection:
    print(item)

Jump Statements​

    if done:
        break

for i in range(10):
    if i % 2 == 0:
        continue
