But it is NOT a procedural language like C or FORTRAN. You do not describe a sequence of operations to be performed. The FlexPDE scripting language is a "problem description language" that describes the interdependence of variables in your system. It provides enough information about the system so that FlexPDE can decide what procedures to employ. There is a REPEAT statement (See REPEAT in the Help Index). This is a textual repeat that replicates the contained text with modifications. There is an IF statement (See IF in the Help Index). This is an expression evaluation IF, not a statement alternator. The syntax is the same as the C construct " a? b : c".
