Statement summary

BrightScript supports the following familiar looking statement types:

If / Then / Else If / Else / End If
For / To / End For / Step / Exit For
For Each / In / End For / Exit For
While / End While / Exit While
Try / Catch / End Try
Throw
Function / End Function / As / Return
Print (or ?)
Rem (or ')
Goto
Dim
End
Stop

BrightScript is not case sensitive.

Each statement's syntax is documented precisely later in the manual.

For example:

function Main() as Void
    dim cavemen[10]
    cavemen.push("fred")
    cavemen.push("barney")
    cavemen.push("wilma")
    cavemen.push("betty")
    for each caveman in cavemen
        print caveman
    end for
end function

Each line may contain a single statement, or a colon ( : ) may be used to separate multiple statements on a single line.

myname = "fred"
if myname="fred" then yourname = "barney" : ? yourname
