Limitations & Troubleshooting

Single-statement control flow (no blocks)

In this version, the parser does not implement block parsing for { ... }.

// Example that may fail: blocks are not implemented yet
if(x > 5) { return 5; }

• Use the single-statement form instead (e.g. `if(x > 5) return 5;`).
• For now, avoid { ... } blocks after conditions.

Supported subset

• Supported (core)

  The compiler can tokenise/parse and generate JS for common constructs.

  • let declarations
  • arithmetic expressions
  • arrays and indexing
  • if / while / for (single-statement form)
  • return and print

• Not supported yet

  These are either missing or incomplete in the current implementation.

  • function definitions (func keyword)
  • brace blocks { ... } as statement bodies

Errors: read line and column numbers

• Compilation errors include source location (line/column numbers).
• Use that to quickly find the problematic token in the editor.
