Control Flow

Jackal supports standard conditional branching to execute code blocks based on boolean expressions.

let score = 85

if (score >= 90) {
    println("Grade: A")
} else if (score >= 75) {
    println("Grade: B")
} else {
    println("Grade: C")
}

The classic C-style loop for precise iteration control using initialization, condition, and increment.

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    println(i)
}

Jackal provides expressive range syntax for iterating through sequences of numbers or data collections.

for (i in 1 to 100) {
    println(i)
}

for (i in 1 .. 10) {
    println(i)
}

Iterates as long as the specified condition remains true. Syntax follows standard logical patterns.

let count = 0
while (count < 5) {
    println(count)
    count++
}
