I can’t even get past the simple values syntax:
var value: i32 = 0;
This looks like you’re assigning the value 0 to i32, a type. It’s nonsensical. Also what is the purpose of the var keyword? Why not put the type there?
The array syntax makes even less sense!
I think what you’re missing in your examples is how the values are used after declaration. C syntax was designed so that declaration resembles use. The reason array subscript brackets come after the variable name is because that’s how you access elements of the array:
int arr[3] = { 12, 76, -42};
arr[1] += 4;
if (arr[2] < 0) { printf(“it’s negative!\n”); }
