Karolis2011: More explanations about parts

== Basic sintax ==
=== Comments ===
First, let's acknowledge how to comment our code. Comments are lines of text that are for humans to read, and aren't executed. You can comment out line or do a comment block.
<source lang=javascript>
// This is single comment line.
/* While this is start of comment block
Comment block content
And end of comment block
*/
</source>
=== Variable types ===
NTSL2++ is loosely typed language. This means you don't have to know type in advance to define variable. There are few ways to define a variables.
<source lang=javascript>
var varX // A function scoped variable
let varY // A block scoped variable. Recommended type.
const varZ = ... // A constant variable, it's contents can't be reassigned.
</source>
=== Values and there types ===
When we have variables, we then can assign different values to them.
<source lang=javascript>
// Numbers
varX = 5 // Just 5
varX = 3.14 // Number with decimal point
varX = 1e6 // 1000000 - Exponetial
varX = 25e-5 // 0.00025
varX = Infinity // Number representing infinity
varX = NaN // Number representing invalid number

// Strings
varY = "Apple"
varY = '100'

// Template literals
varZ = `This value is equals to ${varY}` // This value is equals to 100

// Booleans
varX = true
varX = false

// Arrays
varY = [1, 2, 3, 4]
// Objects
varZ = {aurora: 'Cool', game: 'SS13', players: 15}

// Special
varA = null // Value null, as nothing
varA = undefined // Value hasn't been set yet.

typeof(5) // "number"
typeof('Hello') // "string"
typeof(true) // "boolean"
typeof([1]) // "object"
typeof({moo: 'oh'}) // "object"
</source>
=== Arrays and Objects ===
Let's explore in depth arrays and objects.
Arrays are simple lists containing ordered items. They indexed by whole numbers, starting from zero assigned to first element.
<source lang=javascript>
let arr = [1, 'Hi', 5] // Defining array
arr.length // 3
arr[0] // 1
arr[0] = 'Welcome' // This sets first item to "Welcome"
arr.pop() // Returns last item from array and removes it.
arr.push('op') // Adds item to the end of array.
</source>
Objects are like arrays, but they have keys instead of indexes to reference items.
<source lang=javascript>
let obj = {} // Defining empty object
// Keys can be only strings.
obj['first'] = 1 // Sets 'first' item to one.
// You can also access object values with dot.
obj.first // Returns 1
// You can also initialize object with initial values
obj = {
first: 1,
second: 2,
'my-key': 3 // To use special characters you must enclose key in qoutes.
}
obj['my-key'] // And only access using quotes.
</source>
=== Functions ===
Functions are little segments of code meant to be executed independently from other functions.
To define a function you can do it in multiple of ways:
<source lang=javascript>
function myFunction(/* arguments */) { // Defines named function
// code...
return 5
}
myFunction() // Executes function and evaluates to return result.

let func1 = function (arg1, arg2) { // Anonymous function with two arguments.
Term.print(arg1 + arg2)
}

let func2 = (a1, a2) => a1 ** a2 // Defines arrow function (Anonymous) that raises to the power and returns result.

func1('A', '5') // Prints to console "A5"
func2(5, 5) // Evaluates to 3125

let obj = {
x: 5,
// You also can define functions inside objects
func() {
return this.x // Results in 5
}
}

obj.func() // Calls previously defined function
</source>

==Getting Started==
*If you're unsure of something, read the [https://aurorastation.org/rules.html Server Rules]
*If you plan to edit the wiki, please see this guide: [[Guide_to_Editing|Guide to Editing]]
*Remember the golden rule; when you're not sure if something is against the rules or not, Ahelp!

== Quick Start ==
New to Aurora? Here's what you do!

* Read our [https://aurorastation.org/rules.html rules] to avoid unnecessary banning from the server.
* Browse our [[Background_summary| Lore]]. Aurora has it's own expanded lore maintained by a group of developers
* Figure out how to make a [[Guides/Character Creation|character]] taking advantage of said lore
* When you try out a new job, always look over the wiki page for that job. These are concentrated tips and how-to guides to get you started.

If you're still confused, feel free to ask in-game over the OOC channel, an adminhelp (F1), or by creating a thread on [https://forums.aurorastation.org/ our forums], or joining the [https://discord.gg/3wgjgRN/ discord server] for Aurora, while faster, you may receive more in depth and helpful answers on the forums.
