Javascript PokeScript 

var x = 1
const x = 1
 

poke x = 1
const x = 5
Javascript PokeScript 

function add(a, b) {
    return a + b
}
 

ability add(pokedollar a, pokedollar b) {
    return a + b
}
Javascript PokeScript 

if (x == 5) {
    return 5
} else if (x == 4) {
    return 4
} else {
    return 2
}
 

catch x == 5 {
    pika 5
} release catch x == 4 {
    pika 4
} release {
    pika 2
}
Javascript PokeScript 

for (int x = 3, x < 5; x++) {
    break;
}
 

evolve pokedollar x = 3 until 5 {
    break
}
Javascript PokeScript 

while (true) {
    var x = 1
}
 

while success {
    poke x = 1
}
Python PokeScript 

dex = {
    "pikachu": 3,
    "charizard": 6,
    "snorlax": 8
}
 
{pokestring, pokedollar} dex = {"pikachu": 3, "charizard": 6, "snorlax": 8}
Javascript PokeScript 

class Pokemon {
    constructor(level, name) {
        this.level = level
        this.name = name
    }
    getLevel() {
        return this.level
    }
}
 

train Pokemon {
    starter(pokedollar level, pokestring name) {
        this.level = level
        this.name = name
    }

Types of Semantic Errors

  • Using non-initialized variables
  • Bad types in all ternary, binary, and unary operations
  • Bad types in data structures
  • Bad type in reassignment of variable
  • Bad type in declaration of variable
  • Incorrect number of function params
  • Breaking outside of loop
  • Returning outside of function
  • Function with return value doesn’t return anything
  • Calling a function or method that is not intialized
  • For loop with non-integer iterator
