	[[YOLOL]] is a rather constrained language. The line and chip length limits and slow execution speed incentivize clever shortcuts. The small math library and limited operation space require building larger operations from smaller building blocks. To those ends, this page serves to catalog a variety of things you can accomplish with YOLOL that might not be obvious from the main [YOLOL] documentation.

 === Need more decimals? ===
 YOLOL supports 3 decimal places, 1.234, which may cause you some issues. If your final number however isn't the one that needs a higher amount of accuracy than this but rather the requirement for more than 3 decimals is somewhere in the equation giving you your number then you can solve this issue by multiplying your numbers used during the equation and then dividing the final number. For example if you need to multiply x with 1.2345 and .234 simply is not accurate enough you could instead multiply x with 12.345 and then divide the result by the same amount, in this case 10.

	Keep this in mind when writing your yolol and you will find yourself saving a lot of characters and fitting more things on the same line and even more things on the same chip!		Keep this in mind when writing your yolol and you will find yourself saving a lot of characters and fitting more things on the same line and even more things on the same chip!


			When you need to disable whole script with one button and squeeze-in some variables initialisation:
			if :Button != 1 then goto1 end a = 123 b = 456 c = 789
			This can be shortened to:
			a=123 b=456 c=789 goto1+:Button
			When '''Button''' disabled '''goto''' will jump to line 1, otherwise it will jump to line 2.
