Control Flow

1. Logic (If / Or)

BigC uses a flat structure for logic. No indentation is needed for if blocks.

• if: Checks a condition.
• or: Performs an action if the previous if failed.
• or if: Performs a new check only if the previous if failed (like else if).

Basic Syntax:

if [Condition] & [Command]

# Multi-line Block (Flat)
if [Condition]
print "Condition met"
or
print "Condition not met"

Advanced "Or If" Logic:

if Score > 90
print "Grade: A"
or if Score > 80
print "Grade: B"
or
print "Grade: F"

2. The Mechanics of Failure

BigC is built to be "Crash-Proof." Instead of stopping the program with an error, the engine returns specific fallback values that you can check.

Native Error Check

You can use the bug found syntax immediately after an action to detect a failure natively.

Example:

get web "https://broken-link.com" & set as {Response}

if any bug found
    print "Error: Connection failed!"
or
    print "Success: $Response"

3. Loops (Strict Indentation)

Loops are the only time BigC uses indentation (4 spaces or 1 tab) to indicate repetition.

Syntax:

start loop
    print "Repeating..."
keep [Condition]

4. Chapters (Functions)

Chapters are reusable blocks of code. Use addrun to execute them.

start chapter Greet
print "Hello!"
end chapter

addrun Greet

5. Background Tasks (Threads)

Run a chapter in another thread without blocking the main program.

Syntax: run background [ChapterName]

run background LoggingTask
