Running GLP
Quick // Easy Start
Advanced Start
Fork the GLP repo, customize the
std-raw.js
(if you want to expand the standard library), type node main.js and start running code
Build GLP
Fork the GLP repo, and run "pkg main"
Philosophy
How to call functions
Type functional commands in the form of:
(function-name (arg) ... (arg))
which calls function-name passing all following if any:
(arg) ... (arg)
Standard Library
To modify/add functions to the standard library, change
std-raw.js
to your liking
Fundamental Standard Library Functions
Function Definition
(makeFunction function-name (body) (return) (arg) ... (arg));
defines a function named function-name of process returning (return)
with args (arg) ... (arg))
Variables
(create variableName);
creates a variable named variableName
(create variableName (arg));
creates and initializes variable named variableName with (arg) value
(set variableName (arg));
initializes variable variableName with (arg)) value
If Statements
(if (arg) ... (arg));
(ifelse (arg) ... (arg)):
Performs conditional branching where first (arg) is a condition,
second an action third is alternative action: (arg)(arg) Both if and
ifelse do the same but distinction is recommended for semantic
purposes.
For/While Loops
(for (arg) (arg) (condition) (arg));
runs a for loop for variable (arg) of initial value (arg) when (condition) executing (arg)
(while (condition) (arg));
runs a while loop when (condition) executing (arg)
Arithmetics
(add (arg) ... (arg));
Adds two numbers with args: (arg) ... (arg)
(subtract (arg) ... (arg));
Subtracts two numbers with args: (arg) ... (arg)
(multiply (arg) ... (arg));
Multiplies two numbers
(divide (arg) (arg));
Divides two numbers
(exp (arg) (arg));
Returns exp: (arg)^ (arg)
I/O
(print (arg) ... (arg));
Prints the value of (arg)
Coming soon:
(input (arg));
Returns value of (arg) after it being typed by user
Comparison
(more (arg) (arg));
Checks if the first (arg) is more than the second (arg)
(less (arg) (arg));
Checks if the first (arg) is less than the second (arg)
Consequential Calls
(actions (arg) ... (arg));
Consequently, calls each (arg) function
Comments
(comment (arg) ... (arg));
Returns ()
Comments
(comment (arg) ... (arg));
Returns ()
Special non-GLP Commands
Use those commands on the GLP command prompt
exit
exits the GLP console the program
file inputfilename.glp
set console input to GLP/filename.g (read file) (example file in GLP/g.g)
out filename.js
set output to be copyed to filename.js (write file) (example file in GLP/out.js)
