goto	<string : label name>	Goes to a label
add	<string : variable name> <value : value>	Adds a value to a variable
sub	<string : variable name> <value : value>	Subtracts a value from a variable
mul	<string : variable name> <value : value>	Multiplies a value in a variable
div	<string : variable name> <value : value>	Divides a value in a variable
mod	<string : variable name> <value : value>	Modules (gets division reminder) a value in a variable
toint	<string : variable name>	Converts a string variable into an integer
tostr	<string : variable name>	Converts an integer variable into a string
