3.0 Standard library

Dosato by default has a selection of build in functions and variables, to help you build efficient code.

In this chapter, we will list and explore all the functions and variables Dosato has to offer!

Note:
Each and every function/constant also has a uppercase version, for example sayln can also be written as SAYLN.
