Expression Statements #

A bare expression (e.g. a function call or math operation), without any assignment, is a legal statement in LOLCODE. Aside from any side-effects from the expression when evaluated, the final value is placed in the temporary variable IT. IT's value remains in local scope and exists until the next time it is replaced with a bare expression.

Assignment Statements #

Assignment statements have no side effects with IT. They are generally of the form:

<variable> <assignment operator> <expression>

The variable being assigned may be used in the expression.

Flow Control Statements #

Flow control statements cover multiple lines and are described in the following section.
