• If statements start their test argument on the same line as the declaration and complex statements should be split into multiple lines. 
    If ( 2 + 2 = 4;...

    good 

    If (
  2 + 2 = 4;...

    bad 

    If ( 2 + 2 = 4;
  	True;
// Else
  	False
) // each result should be on its own line

    good 

    If ( 2 + 2 = 4;
	Let ( [
		~A = 2;
		~B = 2
	];
		~A + ~B
	);
// Else
	False
) // embedded functions use indenting so the outer function can still be identified

    good

    Note the use of the simple // Else comment. Using the // Else for better readability is suggested. It follows other language styles where else is part of the syntactic structure
  • When boolean operators are used, they should, when possible, precede the line they are connected to. 
    If ( Evaluate( "Let ( [" & ~contents & "]; False )" ) = "?" // generates an error or
			or ~empty // empty contents
			or ~missingParams; // missing expected parameters

    good 

    If ( Evaluate( "Let ( [" & ~contents & "]; False )" ) = "?" or ~empty or ~missingParams;...

    bad

  • Case statements provide their tests and results on individual lines. Result values are indented from their test. Each new text/result pair should be separated by at least one blank line. Complex calculations can identify their result using a comment on the first line of the result or using a blank line between the test and result. 
    Case (
	2 + 3 = 4;
		False;

	2 + 2 = 4;
		True;

	False // default result on its own line
)

    Case (
	Let ( [
			~A = 2;
			~B = 2
		];
			Let ( $value = ~A + ~B; $value = 4 )
		);

		// result 1
		Substitute (
			"The result is %VALUE and its %CONDITION";
			[ "%VALUE" ; $value ];
			[ "%CONDITION" ; If ( $value = 4; "GOOD"; "BAD") ]
		);

	2 + 2 = 4;
		// result 2
		True;

	False // default result on its own line
)
