+This is a book for my language found [here](https://crosslang.tesseslanguage.com/)
+
+
+
+## Statements and loops
+
+
+
+#### Declare a variable (it is an expression)
+
+You can (the var is optional but should be used if the root environment has the same variable and you don't want to set it)
+
+```js
+var myVariable = 42;
+```
+
+#### Set a variable (it is an expression)
+
+```js
+myVariable = "I have set the variable to a string";
+```
+
+#### If statements
+
+The {} are optional if you only need one statement
+
+```js
+var myExpression = 0; 
+var myOtherExpression = {
+    mol = 42
+};
+
+if(myExpression)
+{
+    Console.WriteLine("myExpression is truthy");
+}
+else if(myOtherExpression)
+{
+    //this will run based on the condition
+    Console.WriteLine("myExpression is falsey but myOtherExpression is truthy");
+}
+else {
+     Console.WriteLine("both myExpression and myOtherExpression are falsey");
+}
+```
+
+#### For loop
+
+Note: i will leak, also you can use curly brackets like if
+
+```js
+for(var i = 0; i < 42; i++)
+    Console.WriteLine(i);
+```
+
+#### Each loop
+
+```js
+enumerable MyItterator()
+{
+    yield 42;
+    yield 100;
+    yield 88;
+}
+each(var item : MyItterator())
+{
+    Console.WriteLine(item);
+}
+
+
+each(var item : [3,7,12])
+{
+    Console.WriteLine(item);
+}
+
+
+/*
+    This should output
+    42
+    100
+    88
+    3
+    7
+    12
+*/
+```
+
+#### While loop
+
+```js
+while(conditionLikeIf)
+{
+    Console.WriteLine("Hi");
+}
+
+//If conditionLikeIf is falsey we never print Hi
+//If conditionLikeIf is truthy we print Hi until it is falsey
+```
+
+#### Do loop
+
+```js
+do(conditionLikeIf)
+{
+    Console.WriteLine("Hi");
+}
+
+//If conditionLikeIf is falsey we print Hi once
+//If conditionLikeIf is truthy we print Hi until it is falsey
+```
+
+
+
+#### Try statement
+
+Note: you can't yield, return, break or continue from inside a try statement (also applys to catch and finally due to these being internally closures)
+
+```js
+try {
+    Console.WriteLine("God is good.");
+    throw "my error";
+    Console.WriteLine("I am lonely, I am never called.");
+} 
+catch(ex)
+{
+     Console.WriteLine($"I got an error {ex}.");
+} 
+finally {
+     Console.WriteLine("For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.");  
+}
+
+
+/*
+    This should print
+    God is good.
+    I got an error my error.
+    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
+*/
+```
+
+#### Switch statement
+
+NOTE: you can use dictionaries with overloaded equals operator (we will pass the switch's expression as the argument)
+
+```js
+o = {
+    operator== = (this,v) => {
+          //this is implicitly passed by runtime, but you must declare it if you want it
+          return (v * 7) == 42;
+    }
+};
+
+var val = 6;
+
+switch(val)
+{
+    case 4:
+        Console.WriteLine("I am four");
+        break;
+    case 5:
+        Console.WriteLine("I am five");
+        break;
+    case o:
+        Console.WriteLine("Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy meaning of life");
+        break;
+    default:
+        Console.WriteLine("We don't support it we are sorry");
+}
+```
+
+
+
+#### Function declaration
+
+```go
+//you can create functions on dictionaries so long as they are on root environment (they are declared there before root scope is evaluated so this is possible)
+My.Func.Joel = 59; //Because My.Func.Is.A.Few.Deep creates the dictionaries via runtime
+
+func My.Func.Is.A.Few.Deep(a, b)
+{
+    return a * b;
+}
+func main(args)
+{
+    Console.WriteLine(My.Func.Is.A.Few.Deep(6,7));
+}
+```
+
+#### Function inside a function
+
+Oh yeah functions can have exclusively a expression as a body which does not need a return keyword
+
+```go
+func main(args)
+{
+    func MyOther(a,b) a * b;
+    Console.WriteLine(MyOther(a,b));
+}
+```
+
+#### Document a function
+
+```go
+/^ 
+    This function returns 42
+^/
+func MyFunction() 42;
+```
+
+#### Return statement
+
+You can also return nothing
+
+```js
+return 42;
+return;
+```
+
+#### Yield statement
+
+This will halt the function's execution and return the running function object (were you can pop the item and resume it)
+
+To automaticly make a function enumerable (with each statement) you must use ``enumerable`` instead of func when declaring your function
+
+```js
+yield 42;
+```
+
+#### Throw statement
+
+You can catch this with ``try statement`` with ``catch`` clause
+
+```js
+throw "You can replace me with another string or any other object";
+```
+
+#### Defer statement
+
+Your code will be called when your scope is destroyed
+
+```go
+{
+    defer {
+        Console.WriteLine("In defer");
+    }
+    Console.WriteLine("About to leave scope");
+}
+Console.WriteLine("Left scope");
+
+
+/*
+The output should be
+
+About to leave scope
+In defer
+Left scope
+*/
+```
+
+## Expressions
+
+We will place it as a parameter to a function ``doThing`` but these will work anywhere like setting a variable or another expression
+
+#### Undefined
+
+```js
+doThing(undefined);
+```
+
+#### Null
+
+```js
+doThing(null);
+```
+
+#### Boolean
+
+```js
+doThing(false);
+doThing(true);
+```
+
+#### Long
+
+A signed 64 bit number
+
+```js
+doThing(94);
+doThing(599929022);
+```
+
+#### Double
+
+A 64 bit floating pointer number
+
+```js
+doThing(5.25);
+doThing(942.90204);
+```
+
+#### Char
+
+Yes we support single character strings (this escapes a double quote)
+
+```csharp
+doThing('\"');
+```
+
+#### String
+
+Second is an interopolated string
+
+```csharp
+doThing("Hi");
+doThing($"My name is {name}");
+```
+
+#### List
+
+```js
+doThing(
+    [4,5,9,42,true,"Hi",'\n']
+);
+```
+
+#### Dictionary
+
+```js
+doThing(
+    {
+        a = "This is an option",
+        b = 42,
+        c = 9
+    }
+);
+```
+
+###### Enumerating a dictionary
+
+```js
+var dict = { a = 5, b = 42};
+each(var item : Dictionary.Items(dict))
+{
+    Console.WriteLine($"Key: {item.Key}");
+    Console.WriteLine($"Value: {item.Value}");
+    Console.WriteLine();
+}
+/*
+This prints
+Key: a
+Value: 5
+
+Key: b
+Value: 42
+
+*/
+```
+
+
+
+###### Getting a value from dictionary
+
+```go
+func doThing(data)
+{
+   Console.WriteLine(data.b); //will print 42
+}
+```
+
+###### Setting a value to dictionary
+
+```go
+func doThing(data)
+{
+    data.a = true; //replace a with a different value
+    data.someFieldThatDoesNotExist = 9; //define a new field entirely
+
+}
+```
+
+###### Methods
+
+Note that this is optional but if you do have it it must be the first argument, the this argument points to the dictionary
+
+```go
+var item = {
+      myMethod = (this, a, b) => {
+            return a * b;
+      }
+};
+
+Console.WriteLine(item.myMethod(6,7)); //prints 42
+```
+
+Or
+
+```go
+var item = {};
+func item.myMethod(this, a, b)
+{
+    return  a * b;
+}
+Console.WriteLine(item.myMethod(6,7)); //prints 42
+```
+
+###### Properties
+
+They are declared like every other method except they are prefixed with ``get`` or ``set``
+
+```go
+var item = {
+      getProp = (this)=>{
+          return 42;  
+      },
+      setProp = (this,v)=>{
+           //do something with v
+      }
+};
+
+Console.WriteLine(item.Prop); //equivalent to Console.WriteLine(item.getProp());
+
+item.Prop = 100; //equivalent to item.setProp(100); will do nothing in this example
+
+```
+
+###### Operator overloading
+
+```js
+var item = {
+        operator+ = (this,right) => {
+             return 4 + a;
+        }
+        operator- = (this,right) => {
+            return 4 - right; //be careful right may be undefined if the negate operator is used
+        }
+};
+
+Console.WriteLine(item + 5); //prints 9
+```
+
+###### Array operator overloading
+
+```js
+var item = {
+    GetAt = (index)=>{
+        return index * 2; //we multiply index by two and return
+    },
+    SetAt => (index,value)=>{
+        Console.WriteLine($"The index was {index} and value was {value}");
+    }
+};
+
+Console.WriteLine(item[21]); //prints 42
+item["Hi"] = "John"; //prints The index was Hi and value was John
+```
+
+#### ByteArray
+
+```js
+var bA = new ByteArray(1);
+ba[0] = 42;
+Console.WriteLine(ba.ToString()); //prints *
+```
+
+###### ByteArray from string
+
+```js
+var bA = new ByteArray("Hi");
+//we can get bytes like this bA[0] which will be 72
+//we can get length by bA.Count or bA.Length
+```
+
+#### Embedding files (you can't do this easily in C/C++ and C# not as easy as this)
+
+```js
+var bA = embed("myFile.png"); //will embed the file res/myFile.png
+//it is stored as a RESO in the crvm file and bA is a ByteArray
+//note the argument MUST be a constant string
+//note you can access a subdirectory of res as well just use dir/file.bin
+```
+
+#### Streams
+
+
+
+###### From an existing file
+
+```js
+var strm = FS.Local.OpenFile("file.bin","rb");
+
+var data = new ByteArray(1024);
+var read = strm.Read(data,0,data.Count); 
+//use ReadBlock to ensure you have 1024 bytes if not near end of stream
+
+//use WriteBlock to ensure you write the amount you say you need
+
+strm.Close();
+```
+
+#### VFS
+
+```js
+var myVFS = FS.Local; //FS.Local is the local filesystem
+
+
+myVFS.CreateDirectory("myDir"); //creates directory in current dir (only local)
+
+myVFS.DeleteDirectory("myDir"); //now we delete it
+
+
+myVFS.CreateDirectory(Path.FromString(Env.Downloads) / "Folder in Downloads"); //Create a folder in downloads
+```
+
+
+
+#### Path
+
+```js
+var path = / "Path" / "To" / "Directory";
+var relativePath = ./"another"/"path";
+var combined = path / relativePath;
+var someString = "joel";
+var combinedAndStr = combined / someString;
+var combinedWithExtension = combined + ".mp4";
+Console.WriteLine(combined); // outputs /Path/To/Directory/another/path
+Console.WriteLine(combined); // outputs /Path/To/Directory/another/path/joel
+Console.WriteLine(combinedWithExtension); //outputs /Path/To/Directory/another/path.mp4
+//these paths are used with vfs
+
+
+//to get parent directory use combined.GetParent();
+//to get filename use combined.GetFileName();
+//to get extension use combinedWithExtension.GetExtension();, it will be the extension including .
+//to change the extension use combinedWithExtension.ChangeExtension(".mkv");
+//to remove the extension use combinedWithExtension.ChangeExtension(null); or combinedWithExtension.ChangeExtension();
+```
+
+#### Html Litterals
+```go
+//comments are just crosslang ones
+
+//we will be setting to myHtml for the html (returns a string) (it is already html escaped)
+myHtml = <h1>{someStringExpression}</h1>;
+
+//a link, in this example we have a dictionary named node with string fields href and text
+//lets say node.text equaled List<int> and href contained ./mypage?name=Joel&file=steve.bin myHtml would be equal to "<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"./mypage?name=Joel&amp;file=steve.bin\">List&lt;int&gt;</a>" (the \ are just there to make this a valid string for demonstration purposes, there aren't really backslashes)
+myHtml = <a target="_blank" href={node.href}>{node.text}</a>;
+
+
+//for (works like for loop but is in html form, the for part is not rendered in the final string)
+myHtml = <for(var i = 0; i < 42; i++)>
+         <h6>{i}</h6> 
+       </for>;
+
+//each
+myHtml = <each(var item : list)></each>;
+
+//do
+myHtml = <do(expr == 42)></do>;
+
+//while
+myHtml = <while(expr == 42)></while>;
+
+//if
+
+myHtml = <if(expr == 42)>
+    <true>
+        //if expr is 42
+    </true>
+    <false>
+        //if expr is not 42
+        //you would use another if here instead of else if
+    </false>
+</if>;
+
+myHtml = <null>Hello</null>; //would just be Hello (useful for templating as it works just like div but the null part is not emited into string)
+
+myHtml = <raw(stringExpr)>; //allowing you to emit unescaped html from string into html litteral (useful for templating)
+```
