ElectricScript

ElectricScript is a "juiced-up" programming language for electrical engineers, aimed to bridge the gap between electrical engineering and computer science. With its electrifying set of terms and tailored features, it "amps" up the understanding for electrical engineers. Get ready to "short-circuit" your way into programming with a familar set of engineering terms that will be sure to cause a "spark" in your brain!

Example Programs

Hello World

JavaScript

function helloWorld() {
	console.log(“Hello World”)
}

ElectricScript

circuit helloWorld()
+terminal
         display(“Hello World)
-terminal

Factorial

JavaScript

function factorial(n) {
  if (n === 0) {
    return 1;
  }
  return n * factorial(n - 1);
}

console.log(factorial(5)); // Output: 120

ElectricScript

circuit factorial(n)
+terminal
  zener (n == 0)
  +terminal
    out 1
  -terminal
  out n * circuit(n - 1)
-terminal

display(factorial(5)) feedback Output: 120

For and If Loops

JavaScript

for(var i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
  if(i % 2) {
    console.log(i);
  }
}

ElectricScript

sequential(load i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
+terminal
    zener(i % 2)
    +terminal
        display(i)
    -terminal
-terminal

Arithmetic

JavaScript

Addition: 2 + 3
Subtraction: 2 - 3
Multiplication: 2 * 3
Division: 2 / 3
Interger Division: 2 // 3
Exponents: 2 ^ 3
Modulo: 2 % 3

ElectricScript

Addition: 2 + 3
Subtraction: 2 - 3
Multiplication: 2 * 3
Division: 2 / 3
Interger division: 2 // 3
Exponents: 2 ^ 3
Modulo: 2 % 3

Usage

To run from the command line:

node src/electricScript.js <filename> <outputType>

The outputType indicates what you wish to print to standard output:

Option	Description
analyzed	The decorated AST
optimized	The optimized decorated AST
js	The translation of the program to JavaScript

Example runs, using the sample introductory program above:

$ node src/electricScript.js examples/printing.electricScript analyzed
   1 | Program statements=[#2]
   2 | PrintStatement argument=#3
   3 | StringLiteral contents='Hello there'

$ node src/electricScript.js examples/printing.electricScript optimized
   1 | Program statements=[#2]
   2 | PrintStatement argument=#3
   3 | StringLiteral contents='Hello there'

$ node src/electricScript.js examples/printing.electricScript js
console.log("Hello there");

Pipe the output back into node to compile and run on the same line:

$ node src/electricScript.js examples/printing.electricScript js | node
Hello there
