14 Mapping from DATEX Script to DXB (High-level abstractions)

All properties of the #std record are directly accessible in all scopes (#std prefix not necessary: #std.text -> text).

14.1 If branching

if conditionA (
	A 
)
# 14 global->INDEX = 1

maps to

jumpFalse 1 conditionA
A

14.1 If/Else branching

if conditionA (
	A 
)
# 14 global->INDEX = 1
else if conditionB (
	B
)
# 14 global->INDEX = 2
else (
	C 
)
# 14 global->INDEX = 3

maps to

jumpFalse 1 conditionA
A
jump 3

# 14 global->INDEX = 1
jumpFalse 2 conditionB
B
jump 3

# 14 global->INDEX = 2
C

# 14 global->INDEX = 3

14.1 While loops

# 14 global->INDEX = 1
while conditionA (
	A 
)
# 14 global->INDEX = 2

maps to

jumpFalse 2 conditionA
A
jump 1

14.1 Text with single quotes (template strings)

Characters between two single quotes are converted to a TEXT instruction, similar to double quoted text.

Values can be injected into the string by enclosing them with parentheses. Parentheses can be escaped with a backslashes (\).

Examples:

'a value: (x) more text'

This is equivalent to the following DATEX script

("a value: " + (text x) + " more text")
or:todo?
template ("a value: ", x, " more text")
