Variables and Control Flow
This AeroScript program uses vars, conditional logic, and loops to do calculations and string manipulation, and shows the program output.
// Variables and Control Flow Example: // Demonstrates how to use conditionals and loop constructs in AeroScript // to operate on different types of variables, including arrays of variables. var $intArray[] as integer = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] var $stringArray[] as string = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J"] program var $intSum as integer = 0 var $combinedString as string var $iteration as integer // Note: You can use any type of loop to iterate over an array of any data type. // This example shows various combinations of looping over integer and string arrays. // Loop over an integer array using a while loop. $iteration = 0 $intSum = 0 while ($iteration < length($intArray)) $intSum = $intSum + $intArray[$iteration] $iteration++ end AppMessageDisplay("While Loop Sum = " + IntegerToString($intSum)) // Loop over a string array using a foreach loop. $combinedString = "" foreach var $string in $stringArray $combinedString = $combinedString + $string end AppMessageDisplay("Foreach Loop String = " + $combinedString) // Loop over an integer array using a for loop (with default step of 1). $intSum = 0 for $iteration = 0 to (length($intArray) - 1) $intSum = $intSum + $intArray[$iteration] end AppMessageDisplay("For Loop Sum = " + IntegerToString($intSum)) // Loop over a string array using a for loop (with custom step of 2). $combinedString = "" for $iteration = 0 to (length($stringArray) - 1) step 2 $combinedString = $combinedString + $stringArray[$iteration] end AppMessageDisplay("For Loop String (every other character) = " + $combinedString) // Repeat the same operation multiple times. $intSum = 1 repeat 10 $intSum = $intSum * 2 end AppMessageDisplay("Repeat Loop 2^10 = " + IntegerToString($intSum)) // Demonstrates calling into a function that uses an if/elseif/else statement. foreach var $string in $stringArray if (IsVowel($string)) AppMessageDisplay("Letter \"" + $string + "\" is a vowel.")
