LSL Syntax

LSL follows a syntax similar to the C language. Here's a sample code showing the syntax and basics of the language.

// comment starts with two slashes

// Examples of variable declaration and assignment:
integer score = 0;
string mySay = "i ♥ you";
vector v = <3,4,5>;
list myList= [3,4,v,mySay];

// Example of defining a function.
// most built-in function's names start with “ll” (Linden Library).
integer sum(integer a, integer b)
{
   integer result = a + b;
   return result; // Return statement is not required
}

default {
  state_entry() {
    llSay(0, mySay);
  }

  touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
      // examples of if.
      if (score == 1) { 
        llSay(0, mySay);
      } else {
        llWhisper(0, "Ouch!");
      }
    }
}
