@ -37,7 +37,8 @@ What does Prog8 provide?
- small program boilerplate/compilersupport overhead
- programs can be run multiple times without reloading because of automatic variable (re)initializations.
- conditional branches
- 'when' statement to provide a concise jump table alternative to if/elseif chains
- ``when`` statement to provide a concise jump table alternative to if/elseif chains
- ``in`` expression for concise and efficient multi-value/containment check
- many built-in functions such as ``sin``, ``cos``, ``rnd``, ``abs``, ``min``, ``max``, ``sqrt``, ``msb``, ``rol``, ``ror``, ``swap``, ``sort`` and ``reverse``
- various powerful built-in libraries to do I/O, number conversions, graphics and more
- convenience abstractions for low level aspects such as ZeroPage handling, program startup, explicit memory addresses

@ -54,6 +54,9 @@ Language features
- Subroutines with parameters and return values
- Complex nested expressions are possible
- Variables are allocated statically
- Conditional branches to map directly on processor branch instructions
- ``when`` statement to avoid if-else chains
- ``in`` expression for concise and efficient multi-value/containment test
- Nested subroutines can access variables from outer scopes to avoids the overhead to pass everything via parameters
- Variable data types include signed and unsigned bytes and words, arrays, strings.
- Floating point math also supported if the target system provides floating point library routines (C64 and Cx16 both do).
