Values (literals)

examples:

Variables

Variables must be declared before they can be used.

// declare an 'int' called 'foo'
int foo;

Assign a value to an existing variable with the ChucK operator (=>).

// assign value of 2 to 'foo'
2 => foo;

It’s possible to combine the above two statements:

// assign 2 to a new variable 'foo' of type 'int'
2 => int foo;

To use a variable, refer to it by name:

// debug-print the value of foo
<<< foo >>>;

To update the value of foo:

// multiply 'foo' by 10, assign back to 'foo'
foo * 10 => foo;

// or you can use a *=> (mult-chuck)
10 *=> foo;

Duration example:

// assign value of '5 seconds' to new variable bar
5::second => dur bar;

Once you have bar, you can inductively use it to construct new durations:

// make a measure consist of 4 bars
4::bar => dur measure;

Reference types: types which inherit from the object class (wtf? -A)

(I have no idea what these are. -A)

Complex types

(I don’t understand complex numbers; look it up. -A)
