    {"y":3},
    ["print The value of x is: $x"],
    ["print The value of x is: $y"],
    ["print Now lets add x and y"],
    ["add $z $x $y"],
    ["print The answer is: $z"],
    ["print Now lets subtract y from x"],
    ["sub $z $x $y"],
    ["print The answer is: $z"],
    ["print Now lets divide x by y"],
    ["div $z $x $y"],
    ["print The answer is: $z"],
    ["print Now lets multiply x by y"],
    ["mul $z $x $y"],
    ["print The answer is: $z"],
    {"myMethod":
      {
        "params": [
          "p1",
          "p2"
        ],
        "body": [
          {"nestedMethod":
            {
              "params": [
                "p1"
              ],
              "body": [
                ["print Methods can be nested, and arguments can be trickled down."],
                ["print The result was: $p1"]
              ]
            }
        },
          ["print You passed me: $p1 and $p2"],
          ["print Lets add them and pass the result into another method!"],
          ["add $p2 $p1 $p2"],
          ["!nestedMethod $p2"]
        ]
