If...then loop problems

[3Garrett3]

Hi folks.

Apparently I'm old and don't know the new changes with Lape, but say I have the code:


function Win() : Boolean;
begin
Result := True;
if Result then
Writeln('win');
else
Writeln('not win');
end;


Unless I've horribly forgotten what used to work, this should compile. Now I'm getting "Error: Found unexpected token "else", expected "End" at line X"

What am I doing wrong here? Using RC3 and associated SRL file (from Olly's .zip).

function Win() : Boolean;
begin
Result := True;
if Result then
Writeln('win')
else
Writeln('not win');
end;


It is either:

if a then
begin
Writeln('win');
end;

if not(a) then
begin
Writeln('win');
end;

Or

if a then
begin
Writeln('win');
end else
begin
Writeln('not win');
end;

Or

if a then
Writeln('win')
else
Writeln('not win');

So semi colons broke me?

In both pascalscript and lape the if-statement ends with a semicolon. if-else is one statement, it needs one semicolon.

This is very awkward...

Thanks for the refresher!

IF-STATEMENT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statement_(computer_science))
there is no looping... "while", "for" and "repeat" repeats some piece of code, and so they are referred to as loops, but "if" is just a conditional check, and it's body is only executed if the condition is met, it does not loop until the condition is no longer true.

Yeah but you knew what I meant! Trying to shake the rust off over here ;)
