I am trying to write this in a macro:

var debug = false;
if (debug) setBatchMode(false); else setBatchMode(true);

but receive the error message "statement cannot begin with = in line 1"

So, is the word "debug" a reserved keyword?
There is no mention of it in https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html

if yes, what is its intended use?
