// BeanShell (bsh) is "no-frills Java" and inherits all of Java
// basic syntax. You can actually mix Java code with bsh and
// the BeanShell interpreter will recognize all of it (with
// some minor subtleties, we will discuss later on). Conversely,
// converting BeanShell into Java is quite straightforward.
// Here are some basics:

// This is a comment (typically single line)
/* This is also a comment (typically multi-line) */

// BeanShell features a built-in print command that outputs to
// the Script Editor's console ("Show Output" button). It
// accepts only one argument (a string, number, object, ...).
// BTW, Note that in Java and in BeanShell, every statement
// must end in a semicolon:
print("Line 24: " + "Hello!"); // A concatenated string

// Math works as expected:
a = 1+1;			// Sum
b = 2*4;			// Multiplication
c = Math.pow(2,4);	// Exponentiation (2^14 = 16)
print("Line 30: "+ a + "," + b + "," + c);

// Division is slightly special:
print("Line 33:" + "Integer division: 3/4=" + 3/4);
print("Line 34:" + "Float division: 3/4=" + 3.0/4);

// Note that, as in Python, variables may be dynamically typed:
d = 1;
print("Line 38: " + "d is a number: " + d);
d = "the 4th letter in the alphabet";
print("Line 40: " + "but now d is a string: " + d);

// Operators:
print("Line 43: " + "a equals b: " + (a == b) );
print("Line 44: " + "a is not equal to b: " + (a != b) );
print("Line 45: " + "a is not equal to b: " + !(a == b) );
print("Line 46: " + "a greater than b: " + (a > b) );
print("Line 47: " + "a is greater or equal to b: " + (a >= b) );
