It is in the documentation. Quoting from the documentation:
> String variables end with the $ character.
The principal problem though is that you're dropped into the first of 4 tutorial/documentation pages, and have to hit "back" (which is unintuitive since I didn't get there from anywhere else on the site) to see the list of tutorials and documentation pages.
- chkas 4y agoYes. I should have posted this link. https://easylang.online/ide/ https://easylang.online/ide/
- johnisgood 4y agoI did not mean to say that it is not in the documentation... What I am saying is that it is not intuitive at all, and it has to be documented for anyone, not just for "beginners to programming" to know. The reason I am saying this is that "counter-intuitive" and "not intuitive" is often mentioned as a reason for the language being more beginner-friendly.
- Jtsummers 4y agoTo be fair, most of programming is not intuitive. i = 20 # ... some lines later (not modifying i) for i in range(10): # non-intuitive for many - range goes from 0 to 9 print(i) # ... some lines later (not modifying i) print(i) # what value should be printed here? Or a subtle (and hard to spot when not isolated like this) one character difference creating a behavior change: i := 20 for i := 0; i < 10; i++ { fmt.Println(i) } fmt.Println(i) i := 20 for i = 0; i < 10; i++ { fmt.Println(i) } fmt.Println(i) And that's with a primitive part of programming. There is no language whose behavior can be fully intuited by all people, beginner or not. Some things will have to be taught or read through documentation and examples.
