Identifiers

Identifiers in VectorScript are symbols which are used to refer to something else: constants, variables, data types, procedure or function names, and other similar items.

The rules for writing VectorScript identifiers are similar to most programming languages:

The first character must be a letter or an underscore.

Subsequent characters may be a character, digit, or underscore.

Identifiers may not contain spaces, tabs, or other characters.

Identifiers may be any length, but the first 255 characters are significant (i.e., recognized by the VectorScript compiler).

Identifiers which do not follow the specified rules will prevent a script from compiling, and will generate a VectorScript compiler error.
