Mastering ncap2 is relatively simple. Each valid statement statement consists of standard forward algebraic expression. The fl.nco, if present, is simply a list of such statements, whitespace, and comments. The syntax of statements is most like the computer language C. The following characteristics of C are preserved:
[]
characters;
/* */
characters.
Single line comments are preceded by //
characters.
#include
script.
Note that the #include
command is not followed by a semi-colon
because it is a pre-processor directive, not an assignment statement.
The filename script is interpreted relative to the run directory.
@
is used to delineate an attribute name from a
variable name.
