About
A section is a set of statements that get executed when using the jmp operator. They are always loaded first when the file is executed or imported.
Sections always start with a colon :, and their name can only contain alphabetical letters:
:mySection
Statements that are not within a section are located in the global section predefined by the interpreter. The global section cannot be referenced, interacted with, or called, as it is deleted as soon as the file is executed or imported.
A section can also take arguments. Any variables separated by space and placed directly after the section name are considered arguments:
:myMethod argument0 argument1
All arguments of a method or a function must be passed. An error is thrown if an argument is missing.
Since the release of x2.3, only one type of section exists in x++.
A section that takes (or doesn't take) additional arguments and (may or may not) return a value is considered a function and can be invoked using the jmp operator.
jmp myFunction 1 2 ?output
prt output :: 3
:myFunction a b
add a b c
ret c
