Uniqueness and Scope
Although identier names are arbitrary (within the rules stated), errors result if the same name is used for more than
one identier within the same scope. Simply, duplicate names are illegal within the same scope. For more information,
refer to Scope and Visibility.
Identier Examples
Here are some valid identiers:
temperature_V1
Pressure
no_hit
dat2string
SUM3
_vtext
… and here are some invalid identiers:
7temp // NO -- cannot begin with a numeral
%higher // NO -- cannot contain special characters
int // NO -- cannot match reserved word
j23.07.04 // NO -- cannot contain special characters (dot)
Punctuators
The mikroBasic PRO for PIC32 punctuators (also known as separators) are:
- [ ] – Brackets
- ( ) – Parentheses
- , – Comma
- : – Colon
- Dot
Most of these punctuators also function as operators.
Brackets
Brackets [ ] indicate single and multidimensional array subscripts:
