int test4 = 2 ^ 4

why not use the more typical **, or just leave it to a function

i didn't think of the ** thing and i didn't want to have it as a function because that stuff takes about 50 years to type out compared to the 1 nanosecond it takes to type something like ^ or **

I meannn. Yes? But do you anticipate doing power operations ~that~ much? 'cause I can tell you I barely use them and when I do I might as well be typing out pow(b, x)...

Also have you looked into the process of actually creating compilers and stuff rather than evaluating the language entirely in Java? I know it's a lot more work but honestly it's a lot more useful in terms of learning and might require a lot more background knowledge but it's a really rewarding process. I'm in a class that helps build that knowledge right now so if you ever wanted to talk about it I'd be down to talk, but we're gonna be making a compiler for the language "COOL" (click) and we've already made an interpreter for a stack machine (click) which is a good introduction to the process.

Potatoh:
i payed 50 dollars for a massive book on javascript

im instead studying torquescript and learning off of addons made by the community

Drydess:
torquescript is basically bootleg js so that book mightve come in handy
