I am having trouble relating what I know in a large number of programming languages to the syntax and semantics of the tiddler language.
For example, after searching for about half an hour I could not find out how to perform an if-then-else operation. Since 95% of all imperative programs are made by assigning values (simple and complex) to variables, unpacking these and performing conditionals, loops and function calls I'd like to see exactly how to perform these operations in a tiddler. If I were writing a book on programming I'd start with variables and values and move on to conditionals and loops, then show how to write procedures. So far it is unclear to me how to do these things in the TW language. So, what is the equivalent tiddler code to perform the following operations in a conventional programming languages? 1) Set a variable to a simple value and use the value 2) Set a variable to a complex value and use the complex value 3) Perform an if-then-else or switch operation 4) Execute a loop 5) Define a local (to the tiddler) subroutine and call it 6) Define a global subroutine and call it It seems to me that a simple table with two columns showing in the left hand a common a common programming construct and the right hand side the equivalent Tiddler code would made TW a lot easier to lean.
