While the diamond operator (<big><big>{diamond}</big></big>) can be used in an immediate statement to the Session Manager, it is most commonly used in a [[functions|function]] to start a new statement on the same line. It is used similarly to the semi colon ('''<big>;</big>''') in C, Pascal, PHP and many other languages, or the colon ('''<big>:</big>''') and backslash ('''<big>\</big>''') in some versions of Basic. It allows another statement to be entered on the same line.

Usage

While the diamond operator () can be used in an immediate statement to the Session Manager, it is most commonly used in a function to start a new statement on the same line. It is used similarly to the semi colon (;) in C, Pascal, PHP and many other languages, or the colon (:) and backslash (\) in some versions of Basic. It allows another statement to be entered on the same line.

Note: The operator cannot be used after a lamp () comment operator appears on the same line, as all characters after are ignored.

Example

In this example, the variable K is tested to see if it is greater than or equal to 1. If the test fails, k is set to 1.

→(k≥1)/Xr ⋄ K←1
Xr:

It is the same as

→(k≥1)/Xr
K←1
Xr:
