Fibonacci Series

# Fibonacci series up to n
method fib(n){
    let a = 0
    let b = 1
    while (a < n){
        print(a, ',')
        let c = a + b
        a = b
        b = c
    }
}

method main(){
    fib(1000)
}

$ brio app.brio
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610,987

Iterate Over Values

method main(){
    let numbers = range(5)  # [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
    let sum = 0

    each (let n : numbers){
        sum += n
    }

    print(sum)
}

$ brio app.brio
10

You can iterate over strings, arrays, dictionaries, as well as user-defined objects.

method main(){
    let airports = {
        "SFO": {"id": 1, "city": "San Francisco"},
        "FRA": {"id": 2, "city": "Frankfurt"},
        "YOW": {"id": 3, "city": "Ottawa"},
    }

    each (let key : airports){
        print(airports[key]["city"])
    }
}

$ brio app.brio
San Francisco
Frankfurt
Ottawa
