JavaScript Syntax and VRML Access Guide

JavaScript provides a simple syntax similar to C/C++/Java for accessing and manipulating VRML scenes. It allows defining variables, arithmetic, comparisons, conditionals like if/else and switch statements, loops like for and while, and comments. Important objects include SFVec3f for vectors and Browser for interacting with the VRML world. The Math object provides common mathematical functions.

• Types
– Numbers(integers,float),
booleans,
strings,objects,
null,undefined
• Automatic
conversion
– A=”a”
+9=
”a9”
Syntax - 2
• Arithmetic
– + * / % ++ -- -

• Comparison
– == != > >= < <=

• Boolean
– && || !

• Strings
– ’hello’ + ’world’
Syntax - 3
if (condition) { statements; }else{ statements;}

switch (expression) {
case ’label’:
statement;
break;
default:
statements;
}

for (initial-statement;test;increment)
{statements}
Syntax - 4
do {
statements;
} while (condition);

while (condition) {
statements;
}
Canbceombinedwith:
break;
continue;
Syntax - 5
for (variable in object) {
statements;
}

with (object) {
statements;
}
