## 1 - Variables
|
|
Variables defined using #= can't be changed (they are "final"), while the ones affected using the normal operator (=) can.
|
|
```
|
|
helloworld #= "Hello, World!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 2 - (Anonymous) Functions
|
|
You can make an anonymous functions using the following syntax:
|
|
```
|
|
getHelloWorld: ~String #= {
|
|
return "Hello, World!"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
The type (`~String` here, which basically means "an anonymous function that returns a String") can be omitted, see [#3](#3---types).
|
|
|
|
To define a **named** (and mandatorily final) function, replace `#=` with `>>`:
|
|
```
|
|
getHelloWorld: String >> {
|
|
return "Hello, World!"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2.1 - Function parameters
|
|
Parameters can be added to an anonymous function by specifying the types as follows:
|
|
```
|
|
addIntToString: (int, String)~ #= { a, b;
|
|
print_line(b + a)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Named functions can have parameters **(with mandatory names)** like in this example:
|
|
```
|
|
addIntToString(a: int, b: String) => {
|
|
print_line(b + a)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2.2 - Function calls
|
|
A function can be simply invoked like this if it has no parameters:
|
|
```
|
|
helloWorld()
|
|
```
|
|
If a function does have parameters, you can call it with arguments in the right order; if the function is not anonymous, it's also possible to call it by using the names of the corresponding parameters:
|
|
```
|
|
addNumbers(int a, int b, int c, int d) >> {
|
|
print_line(a + b + c + d)
|
|
}
|
|
addNumbers(1, 2, 3, 4) # Call without names
|
|
addNumbers(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4) # Call with names
|
|
addNumbers(1, c = 3, b = 2, d = 4)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that print and print_line are the only functions that will get transpiled to their equivalents.
|
|
|
|
## 3 - Types
|
|
Types are *inferred*, which means that specifying types of variables or returned values is optional.
|
|
|
|
<sup>Note: While primitives types (`String`, `int`, `double`, `boolean`, `float`) will be transpiled to their equivalents for the target of the transpiler, this is not the case for other types.<sup>
|
|
|
|
Every variable has a static type by default at compile time; it is possible to make a **non-final** variable dynamic by adding `dyn`/`dynamic` to the attributes or making it the return type:
|
|
```
|
|
dyn helloWorld = 0 # helloWorld: dyn = 0 would also work
|
|
helloWorld = "Hello, World!"
|
|
```
|
|
The attributes/return types mentioned above can also be used for functions/anonymous functions:
|
|
```
|
|
helloWorld: ~dynamic => { return 0 }
|
|
dyn helloWorld >> { return 0 } # could be written as helloWorld: dyn >> { return 0 }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 4 - Comments
|
|
You can add comments to your code; see the following examples showcasing the available syntaxes:
|
|
```
|
|
# This is a simple comment
|
|
// This is another comment
|
|
int ** This is a compact comment, you can insert it pretty much anywhere ** a = 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 5 - Classes
|
|
A class can be made with one of the `class` and `structure` keywords, its name, optional constructors (`~()`) where you can add parameters + code that will run when the class is instantiated, and the class body where you can define methods, properties etc:
|
|
```
|
|
class Program {
|
|
hello #= "Hello"
|
|
~(str: String): () {
|
|
print(", $str!\n")
|
|
}
|
|
~() {
|
|
print(hello)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
program #= Program("World")
|
|
``` |
