SRL Archive - RS3 Help

Hi folks.

Apparently I'm old and don't know the new changes with Lape, but say I have the code:

function Win() : Boolean;
begin
  Result := True;
  if Result then
    Writeln('win');
  else
    Writeln('not win');  
end;

Unless I've horribly forgotten what used to work, this should compile. Now I'm getting "Error: Found unexpected token "else", expected "End" at line X"

What am I doing wrong here? Using RC3 and associated SRL file (from Olly's .zip).

function Win() : Boolean;
begin
  Result := True;
  if Result then
    Writeln('win')
  else
    Writeln('not win');  
end;

It is either:

if a then
begin
  Writeln('win');
end;

if not(a) then
begin
  Writeln('win');
end;

Or

if a then
begin
  Writeln('win');
end else 
begin
  Writeln('not win');
end;

Or

if a then
  Writeln('win')
else
  Writeln('not win'); 

So semi colons broke me?

In both pascalscript and lape the if-statement ends with a semicolon. if-else is one statement, it needs one semicolon.

This is very awkward…

Thanks for the refresher!

IF-STATEMENT
there is no looping… "while", "for" and "repeat" repeats some piece of code, and so they are referred to as loops, but "if" is just a conditional check, and it's body is only executed if the condition is met, it does not loop until the condition is no longer true.

Yeah but you knew what I meant! Trying to shake the rust off over here ;)
