percentCool (stylized with a lowercase p) is a programming language used to make websites.
This is the documentation for percentCool.
To start, you need to run the percentCool executable. You can do this by running ./percentCool in your terminal.
Running this will start a server on port 8000, and create the www and sessions directories.
percentCool uses a file called index.cool to determine what to display on the website. This file needs to be created in the www directory.
Once you have created this file, you can start writing percentCool code, but since you haven't learned how to do that yet, you can just write HTML.
To stop the server, press Ctrl+C in your terminal.
percentCool has 2 data types: string and array.
A string is a sequence of characters. It is created by surrounding text with double quotes (").
You can also not use quotes at all, but then it will not parse spaces, meaning that hello world will be parsed as hello
An array is a list of values. It is created by surrounding a list of values with | and each value with ,.
For example, |1,2,3| is an array with the strings 1, 2, and 3.
Oh, this will be a long one.
echo is used to print text to the page. It takes one argument, which is the text to print.
For example, echo "Hello world!" will print Hello world! to the page.
rndmax is used to set the maximum random number. It takes one argument, which is the maximum random number.
If no argument is given, it will return the default maximum random number.
For example, rndmax 10 will set the maximum random number to 10.
random is used to get a random number. It takes no arguments.
For example, random will return a random number in the variable _RANDOM.
existing is used to check if a variable exists. It takes one argument, which is the variable to check.
For example, existing _RANDOM will put true in the variable _EXISTS if _RANDOM exists, and false if it doesn't.
escape is used to escape a string for SQL. It takes one argument, which is the string to escape.
Once escaped, the string can be used in SQL queries. It is recommended to use this when using user input in SQL queries.
For example, escape $name will escape the string in the variable name
