This chapter describes the basic rules of Cows scripting language.

8.1 Case Sensitive

Cows is Case Sensitive; in other words, lowercase and uppercase characters change the meaning of words and lexical structures. Consequences of this are:

  1. you have to be careful when using Cows' keywords: ifdef is right while IfDef and IFDEF are unknown tokens.

  2. you have to be careful when defining your own variables: if you define some_var=5, remember that SOME_var, SOME_VAR etc. are different variables.
