MAY 14 2026

• Added .if and .fi statements

• Added conditional operands precedes , exceeds , equ , neq

• Format :

.if var1 operator var2

...

...

.fi

• Operators 

  • • precedes : x precedes  y directly corresponds to x is smaller/less than y

    • .exceeds : x exceeds  y directly corresponds to x is greater/more than y

    • equ : x equ y , directly represents x equals to y

    • neq : x  neq y , directly corresponds to x does not equal to y

• Operands

Both var1 and var2  are defined symbols/variables defined using .define , using immediate operands like .if var1 equ 23 will not work as 23 will be interpret as a variable name.

• Nesting

While nesting is supported , its limited to a Sequential Evaluation Architecture. Or a Multiple Checks Single Exit model. Since Micro Symbolic Script does not support complex logical operators like the && , || , ! operators in C/C++ , nested logical evaluation is used.

EXAMPLE :

.define val1

.define val2

.define val3

.assign val1 200

.assign val2 220

.assign val3 100

.if val1 neq val2

.if val3  precedes val2

.if val2 exceeds val1

.print val1 &d

.fi

exit

The above program nests logic using sequential evaluation (similar to the && operator in C) where if any one of the conditions fail , the program flow is branched to the .fi , while you can add a .fi for all .if statements ,  it is not recommended as only the first entered .fi will be considered. ,fi is a heavy command which does alot of background work so you don't want to overuse it in an 80 Byte Limited Program Space.

WILL BE ADDED ON 18th May 2026
