=====Complex definitions=====
The general syntax is [http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=var var/type/variable_name = value]

Examples:
  var/obj/item/I = new/obj/item
  [http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=operator%2F%40dt%3B I.name] = "Some item"

Datum definition and declaration of a variable of that datum type:
  datum/test_datum
    var/test_variable = 0 //declaration of the test_variable var
    
    proc/set_as(var/i) //proc definition within the test_datum datum
      test_variable = i //set the test_variable var to the value in the argument
  
  var/datum/test_datum/TD = new/datum/test_datum //TD will now be a reference to a datum of type test_datum
  TD.test_variable = 4  //Byond doesn't know of private variables, so you can set any variables like this
  [http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=world world] [http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=operator%2F%26lt%3B%26lt%3B <<] TD.test_variable //will output 4 to all connected users
  TD.set_as(10) //Will call the set_as proc in the datum with the argument 10
  TD.test_variable //will output 10 to all connected users
