Basic Structure for our discussions

When reviewing programming, we will need a common ground to work with.  The following definitions will apply:

Comments will start with '//'
Parameters, will use all caps for CONSTANTS or begin with a lowercase letter for a variable
Statement blocks will begin with '{' and end with '}'
Types will be defined as all caps for predefined types like 'NUMBER' or preceded with an underscore for a composite type like '_Array'
Optional items will be enclosed in '[' and ']'
Repeated items will be denoted by ', ...'
Function calls will be formatted 'Name( [value, ...] )'

Function definitions will be formated '[TYPE] [returnValue] Name( [[TYPE] value, ...] )' followed by a statement block.

BOOLEAN is a type with TRUE and FALSE defined.

Sample code:

//Function Not returns the opposite of the boolean parameter

//Simple form

BOOLEAN Result Not( BOOLEAN param )

{

    IF( param = TRUE )

    THEN Result = FALSE

    ELSE Result = TRUE

}

//Function And returns TRUE when both parameters are TRUE

//Nested block form

BOOLEAN And( param1, param2 )

{

   IF( Not( Param1 IS BOOLEAN ) )

   THEN Result = FALSE

   ELSE

   {

      IF( NOT( Param2 IS BOOLEAN ) )

      THEN Result = FALSE

      ELSE

      {

         IF( Param1 = Param2 )

         THEN Result = Param1

         ELSE Result = FALSE

      }

   }

   RETURN Result

}
