Syntax

Data types

• String: A string is any value inside " (double quotes) passing the regex \"[A-Za-z0-9 !]+\".

• Integer: Integers (no fractions), passing the regex [0-9]+.

Variables

Variables are declared by the let keyword, followed by a space and the identifier, which must pass the regex [A-Za-z]+, followed by an equals sign and the value which must be a single string or an integer or an expression of integers, or a variable itself.

For example:

let a = "Hi mom!";
let a = 5;
let a = 5 * 5;

Reassignments

Reassignments are done stating the identifier, which must pass the regex [A-Za-z]+, followed by an equals sign and the value which must be a single string or an integer or an expression of integers, or a variable itself.

let a = 0;
a = "Hi mom!";
a = 5;
a = 5 * 5;

Printing

The print keyword can be used to print variables, expressions and strings to stdout, the value must be inside two parentheses.

print(a);
print(5);
print(5 * 5);
print("Hello world");

If statements

If statements check whether the given condition is true or not using the == or < or > operator. The == is applicable on strings and integers both, while < or > can only be used on integers. The condition must be followed after the code to be executed in the case the condition is true in curly braces {}.

if a == 5 {
    print(a);
}

Loop statements

Loop statements repeat given conditions until break is called.The conditions to be executed in the loop must be followed after the loop keyword in {}.

let b = 0;

loop {
    b = b + 1;

    if b == 5 {
        print("Hi mom!");
        break;
    }

    print(b);
}
