migrating to ASH from PHP/JavaScript (work in progress)

ASH is basically half-ass Java because of feature limitations made specific for interacting with KoL.

Default Function Parameters

In PHP you can define default values for your arguments like so:

function helloWorld($msg='Hello world!')
{
	return $msg;
}
echo helloWorld();//prints "Hello world!" to the browser

In ASH, default parameters is accomplished like so:

string helloWorld(string msg)
{
	return msg;
}
string hellowWorld()
{
	string msg='Hello world!';
	return helloWorld(msg);
}
print(helloWorld());//prints "Hello world!" to kolmafia's command line interface.

Simple For Loops

In PHP, you write simple for loops like so:

for($i=1;$i<=5;$i++)
{
	echo "Loop $i";
}

In Ash you write such loops like so:

for i from 1 to 5
{
	print('Loop '+i);
}

dialog boxes

In JavaScript you write:

confirm("Are you sure?");//returns true or false depending if the user presses ok or cancel in the popup

In ash you write it like so:

print(user_confirm("Are you sure?"));//returns true or false depending if the user presses yes or no in the popup
