Statements

At the highest level, a Flora file consists of a number of statements. The following are the main types of Flora statements:

• Facts
• Queries and Latent Queries
• Rules
• Directives
• User-Defined Functions

All Flora statements end with a period. The period must be followed by whitespace, unless it is at the very end of a file or a line. [1]

[1]	Flora uses period without whitespace for “dot expressions”, discussed in section Dot Expressions
