Am I stupid?

[Amphei Jierdon]

I am trying to write a simple script...

but the line 

    integer x = 1 + 1;

throws a syntax error. 

    float x = 100 / 255

also throws a syntax error.

It doesn't accept the + operator or any algebraic operator like  -, *, or /

 

I do not understand what is wrong. 

 

Can anyone give me a code snippet with some simple algebraic operations that work, so I can find out what I do wrong?

 

Thanks :)

Where are you doing those?  Not in the global definitions, I assume.  You can't calculate things outside the main body of the script.

 

integer x = 1 + 1;  // Does not workdefault{    // whatever}

 

But

 

integer x;default{    state_entry()    {        x = 1 + 1;    // Does work    }}

Thank you Senior, 

 

now it works, and I understood, why it didn't work before :)
