1.Basic Data Types：

• Interger

var i = 1; 

• Float

var d = 1.0;

• Boolean

var t = true; 
var f = false;

• String

var s1 = "this is string enclosed by double quotes";  
var s2 = 'this is string enclosed by single quotes'; 
var s3 = '
this is 
multiline 
string which has three lines.
';
var s4 = "this is formated string, ${1+1} is the result of 1 + 1";

• List

var arr = [1,2,3];
var arrIf = [1, if(2 > 1) 2 ,3]; // it returns [1, 2, 3]
var arrDict = [{"x": 1}, {"x": 2}];

• Map

var dict = {"x": 1};
print dict["x"];
var compoDict = {"x": 1, "y": {"z": 2}};

• NULL

var n;
if (n == null) print "n is null"; 

2. Expressions

• Assignment

var x = 1;
x = 2;

• And/OR

var x = 2 > 1 and 2 < 3;
var x = 2 > 1 && 2 < 3; // it is also ok
var x = 2 > 1 or 2 < 3;
var x = 2 > 1 || 2 < 3; // it is also ok

• Ternary Operator

var x = 2 > 1 ? 2 : 3;
var x = 2 > 1 ? 3 > 2 ? 2 : 3 : 4; // it returns 2

• Comparison

var x = 2 > 1;

• Arithmetic

var x = 1 + 2;
var y = 1 * 2 + 3 / 6;

• Logical

var x = -1;
var b = !true;

• Parentheses

var x = (1 + 2 )* ( 3 - 4 );

• Anonymous Function

var x = (i){ return i*2; };
var y = [1, 2, 3].map(x); // it returns [2, 4, 6]

• Interpolation

var s = "1+2 = ${1+2}"; // it returns 1+2 = 3

3. Statements

• If-Else

if (2 > 1) {
	print "2 is greater than 1";
} else {
	print "2 is not greater than 1";
}

• While Loop

var i = 0;
while (i<10) {
	print i;
	i = i+1;
}

• For Loop

for (var i = 0; i< 10 ; i=i+1){
	print i;
}

• Return

fun add(x, y) {
	return x+y;
}

• Block

{
	var x = 1;
	var y = 2;
	print x + y;
}

4. Function

fun sayHello(name, {age = 20}) {
	print "Hello, My name is ${name}, age is ${age}"
}
sayHello("Tom");
sayHello("Jerry", age: 25)

5. Class

class Person {
	sayHello() {
		print "hello, my name is ${name} and age is ${age}";
	}
}

class Student extends Person {
	study() {
		print "studying...";
	}
}
var p = Student();
p.name = "Tom";
p.age = 20;
p.sayHello();
p.study();
