Many of the Text-based language terminologies have similar counterparts in the G language. Below is a list to help those familiar with text-based languages find the G equivalent.
| Text-based Term | G Term |
|---|---|
| Case Statement | Case Structure |
| Char | String |
| Declaration | Dataflow |
| Do-While Loop | While Loop |
| For Loop | For Loop |
| If-Then Statement | Case Structure |
| If-Then-Else Statement | Case Structure |
| Operator | Function Nodes |
| Pointer | To a UI Element: Reference, or Refnum
To a memory location: Data Value Reference |
| Routine | VI or SubVI |
| Struct | Cluster |
| Subroutine | SubVI |
| Switch Statement | Case Structure |
| Variables | Dataflow |
| While Loop | Strictly speaking G does not have a While Loop. The While Loop in G acts as a Do-While Loop where checking the condition happens after the iteration of the loop. |
