Expression Default
« on: April 23, 2025, 12:21:41 am »
Hi
I havent used RailClone in a while and I always forget that everytime that I need to use Arithmetic Expressions you need to include
"Return" at the beggining and ";" at the end, will it be a way that those functions were always there or a way where we dont need to include them?

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. At the moment, there isn’t an autocomplete feature for the expression syntax. As for the return command - it sends a value to the output and can only be used once per expression. Including it at the start of every new expression might be misleading. We’ll explore possible improvements for future versions.

Best regard,

Dragan

Well, before the "Return" command, you can do some prep operations with some control options like the "Print" command, and then use Return as a final step.

When I need some help with math, I ask my son, and naturally, he will take a piece of paper and solve the problem with his own annotations A, B, C, N, A', A''... etc, and for easier tracking what's written on the paper, I do some prep.
