1st project Empty lines (all 4)

10:54am Tue 10th Sep, ANONYMOUS

Hi, I was wondering if empty lines are allowed in ml and if they are, will the empty lines inside a function definition start with a tab?

Hi I don't believe empty lines are allowed in ml, all the sample files have no empty lines and instead use a comment to create an "empty" line.

Hi, Thanks for replying! I have another question, if comment is inside a function definition does it have to start with a tab character? My question was more about if I can completely rely on the tab character to mark the end of function definitions.

I believe Chris said either in the forum or the project sheet that all statements must start at the lefthand most side of the file unless it is a statement in a function. Not sure where a comment could appear (because technically comments aren't "part" of the function definition). You could just check if the first character is either a tab or a comment (if a comment just ignore the line), otherwise if a tab process as normal (if you see a comment then ignore the rest of the statement).
