EGL provides general statements such as if and while, as well as action statements for accessing data sources and for invoking external logic.
Contents
General statements
The general statements are case, continue, exit, for, if, move, return, throw, transfer, try, use, and while.
Case
The case statement responds to conditions at run time by executing one set of statements rather than another:
- You can test a criterion value. The following example invokes
mySecondFunction
:
function test() x Int = 3; case (x) when (1) myFirstFunction(); when (2, 3, 4) mySecondFunction(); otherwise myDefaultFunction(); end end
- You can test a set of logical expressions. The following example displays only "x passes":
function test() x Int = 3; y Int = 5; z Int = 7; case when (x == 3) SysLib.writeStdOut("x passes"); when (y == 5) SysLib.writeStdOut("y passes"); when (z == 7) SysLib.writeStdOut("z passes"); otherwise SysLib.writeStdErr("You will not see this message."); end end end
As shown, no more than one clause ever executes. Control does not “fall through” from one clause to the next.

While
Action statements
The action statements are add, call, close, delete, execute, forEach, get, open, prepare, and transfer.
