What's on your mind?

[Siletrea]

why not have "type" be also used if wanted? type ("hello") works just as well as print ("hello") and makes sence

a += 1 is the same as a = a + 1

[] is used in Arrays and Hashes and Tables. It could also be used in regular expressions or regexp.

I'm afraid I still don't fully understand but the info about why "Print" is used is really useful thank you
(2 years recearching and trying to comprihend coding and I have no idea what arrays hashes tables or regexp is )

no tutorial has managed to explane the terminology without me needing a dictionary for each huge word ...so I can find out how to relate the word into the paragraph's phrasing

and every tutorial Ive read to date also needs a simplication with a thesaurus and dictionary
