7 Statements

There is a wide range of statements available to INTERCAL programs; some identifiably belong to a particular variant or dialect (such as Backtracking INTERCAL), but others can be considered to be part of the ’core language’. The statements listed here are those that the C-INTERCAL compiler will accept with no compiler switches to turn on particular dialect options. Note that many statements have slightly different effects in different implementations of INTERCAL; known incompatibilities are listed here, but it’s important to check your program on multiple compilers when attempting to write a portable program.
