Basic Syntax

Arithmetic

• Addition: a + b
• Subtraction: a - b
• Multiplication: a * b
• Division: a / b
• Modulus: a % b
• Power: a ** b

Comparison

• Equal: a == b
• Not equal: a != b
• Less than: a < b
• Less than or equal: a <= b
• Greater than: a > b
• Greater than or equal: a >= b

Logical

• And: a and b or a && b
• Or: a or b or a || b
• Not: not a or !a

Bitwise

• Bitwise AND: a & b
• Bitwise OR: a | b
• Bitwise XOR: a ^ b
• Bitwise NOT: ~a
• Left shift: a << b
• Right shift: a >> b

Assignment

• Assign: a = b
• Add and assign: a += b
• Subtract and assign: a -= b
• Multiply and assign: a *= b
• Divide and assign: a /= b
• Modulus and assign: a %= b
• Power and assign: a **= b
• Left shift and assign: a <<= b
• Right shift and assign: a >>= b
• Bitwise AND and assign: a &= b
• Bitwise OR and assign: a |= b
• Bitwise XOR and assign: a ^= b

• Declare a constant: const MY_CONSTANT = 100

Static variables belong to a class rather than an instance of the class. To define a static variable, use the static keyword:

• Declare a static variable: static var my_static_variable = 30
• Change the value of a static variable: my_static_variable = 40
• Since statics belong to the class, you can also use MyClass.my_static_variable = 40

GDScript also provides built-in data structures like arrays and dictionaries:

• Array: Ordered list of elements
• Dictionary: Key-value pairs

In GDScript, variables can be declared using the var keyword.

• Declare a variable: var my_variable = 10
• Change the value of a variable: my_variable = 20
• Declare a variable with a specific type: var my_int: int = 5

Here are some common data types in GDScript:

• int: Integer numbers
• float: Floating-point numbers
• bool: Boolean values (true or false)
• String: Text strings

GDScript uses indentation to define code blocks, just like Python:

func _init():
    pass

To print output in GDScript, use the print() function:

print("Hello, Godot!")

Single-line comments:

# This is a single-line comment

Multi-line comments

"""
This is a multiline string, not a comment!
And thus it will be parsed by interpreter...
"""

# Now this
# is a multiline comments
# Interpreter will not read this
