was reading the pawn_lang.pdf, just curious as to why we strictly follow the C-like syntax in SA-MP scripting and not the one used in examples in the manual.

Код:

main()
    printf "Hello World!\n"

Код:

#include <a_samp>

main() {
    printf("Hello World!\n");
}

Sorry buddy, explain a little bit further, so far I have "hello world" We need a_samp.inc in order for the console to run. Try running a gamemode without a_samp, if it works, I'll eat my words.

Yes you can do it.

for real? Hold up, let me check.

When including the Pawn includes, non-relative to SA:MP then it works.

But what's the point?

My answer was going to the author.

Actually, you can call callbacks from Pawn, simply by forwarding the callback, not sure if it would run IG.

Here's what I'm asking,

WHY can we do

Код:

#include <a_samp>

main() {
    printf("Hello World!\n");
}

and NOT

Код:

main()
    printf "Hello World!\n"

Notice no parenthesis or semi-colon in a function call in the second example?

Yet the manual says:

Valid? Nothing like that.

pawn Код:

#include <sscanf2>

can be very well written in "SA-MP scripting" as

pawn Код:

#include "sscanf2"

[Bakr]

You can make the semicolon optional:

pawn Код:

#pragma semicolon 0

I'm not sure about the parenthesis. Why would you want to code in that style anyway? I find it very hard to read. I believe you also have to use parenthesis around multi-parameter functions anyway IIRC.

I don't. Apparently both are considered valid syntax (according to the manual) and should compile. Just curious as to whether it's some setting in the compiler when code is being parsed.

Yes, either way. But what's interesting is the parenthesis ().
