This weeks Tip of the week brought to us by Jeremy Cowgar
In 4.0 you now have the ability to use two main multi-line features: Strings and Comments.
-- Comment out a block of code in 4.0: /* procedure say_hello(sequence name) printf(1, "Hello, %s!", { name }) end procedure */
Anything in between /* and */ is considered a comment.
Multiline strings are also in 4.0:
sequence emailMessage = """ Dear %s, I hope this email finds you well. %s""" printf(1, emailMessage, { "John Doe", "Euphoria Team" })
There is much more to multiline strings. See the manual, man:lang_def.html#characterstringsandindividualcharacters for more information on Character Strings.
