Question by Malevolent_King · May 22, 2012 at 06:36 AM · javascriptbasicsyntax

JavaScript Syntax and Punctuation Meanings Question

I would like to know what certain syntax's mean that I've run across but don't understand what the do. Examples

hit.rigidbody || hit.rigidbody.isKinematic --- || separating

!hit --- exclamation sign before function

hit : RaycastHit --- : separating

hit == 2 ---double equal signs

&& ---double "and" signs

Is there anyone who can tell me the purpose of each one of these?

Do some Actionscript 3 tutorials, the syntax is very similar to Unityscript.

This is basic programming syntax, you might want to read some tutorials on programming in general.

| is 'or' and a single is bit-wise, where || (double) is logical

! is 'not'

: separating is the type. first thing is variable name, thing after : is the type of variable that is

&& means 'and' (logical). a single & is 'bitwise and'

== means 'is equal to' for comparisongs. a single = means 'assign this to'

Now, google 'bitwise' and 'logical' and 'boolean'

I jumped straight into doing Unity tutorials and Tornado Twins tutorials, and understand what java syntax's do, but I do not understand how I should read or interpret them. for example, I knew the variable before the : and after, but I didn't know what the : meant which separated them, as alot of tutorial codes have them and never explained them, I decided to just ask and learn as I go
