1.1 Identifiers

WhizzML is case sensitive.

Most identifiers allowed in common, and not so common, programming languages are valid in WhizzML: any sequence of letters, digits and other characters that don’t begin with a number are valid identifiers. The extended character set allowed in identifiers includes

! $ % & * + - . / < = > ? @ ^ _ ~

so all the following are valid WhizzML identifiers:

area
dataset-fields
model_23
removeStatusAndUpdateProgress!
number->string
percent%
pi^2
