x = 1.234         ' x = 1.234
y = x * 3.14      ' y = 3.87476
if y<5 then
   y = y/ 3.14    ' y = 1.234
end if

Other pieces of example codes:

do
  i=i+1
  if i=5 then
    exit do
end if
loop while i <10

do
  i=i+1
  if i=3 then
    exit do
end if
loop until (i=10)

z = (x-y)-30.5

z = (x * 2 / y +5)

z = x xor 123

a = 4 >= 2
