A programing language I made for really lazy typers
Hello there. 2 days ago (May 30, 2018) we were asked to submit a programming language for a class. I made it to for really lazy programmers. So I called it lazy or lz.
I wanted mine to have really lazy keywords, so all the keywords it used are only two letters long. Plus I tried that most of the symbols used, to the best of my ability didn't use the SHIFT key.
I hope that this can grow and be developed. I have actually never maintained any large project so this would be my first. Any help would be appreciated.
comments
\this is a comment it uses a backslash
printing
it uses the pr keyword and an rp keyword to end. To print a new line, write nl
pr '1 + 1 is' 1+1 rp
nl
pr '2 + 2 is' 2+2 rp
1 + 1 is 2
2 + 2 is 4
input
it uses the ip keyword so type the keyword then the variable name after ip
userInput = st "nothing"
pr 'input a value' rp
ip unserInput
pr 'user input is ' userInput rp
2 userInput is 2
if statements
a = in 1
if[a == 1]
pr 'this if works' rp
fi
this if works
if-else statements
a = in 1
if[a < 1]
pr 'it shouldn't be here a is equal to one' rp
fi
el
pr 'eyy the code works' rp
le
eyy the code works
while loops
count = in 1
asterisks = []
wh[count < 10]
pu asterisks count up
count = count + 1
hw
pa asterisks
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
integer declaration
integer1 = in 1
float declaration
floatVar = fl 1.0
string declaration
stringVar = st 'heyyyy'
Gab Lopez, a friend of mine designed a new phonetic number system since some numbers have 2 syllables or are hard to pronounce. Here is a modified version of his original number system.
wa - 0
oh - 1
to - 2
ti - 3
fo - 4
fi - 5
si - 6
se - 7
ei - 8
ni - 9
word lz-number input
it automatically converts the word form to a number form. It only needs the grave accent to mark the number.
pr `tiohfoohfinitositi rp
314159263
The word do denotes a decimal point.
pr `tidoohfoohfinitositi rp
3.14159263
These can also be used as a number
The word do denotes a decimal point.
pr `tidoohfoohfinitositi + `ohdowawawawawawa rp
4.14159263
numerical lz-number input
When you type the number form with the grave accent it converts it to a string form. This form can no longer be used for operations.
pr `3.14159263 ' + ' `1.000000 ' equals ' `tidoohfoohfinitositi + `ohdowawawawawawa rp
tidoohfoohfinitositi + ohdowawawawawawa equals 4.14159263
I actually made this language to implement the number system above but I realized more people might want to use this language for its imperative laziness.
It is suprisingly a little better at lists and arrays than C (but isnt powerful yet to have pointers). It has push, pop, top, a length, and even an isEmpty function. I shall add these later on. Thanks to Python.
Dependencies:
Python 3
Linux OS
PLY3.5
To compile put the file in the same folder and copy the following text in terminal. You can replace readme.lz with any file name
python3 lz.py readme.lz
To install, clone the git repository to your folder...
It's actually my first time using github as well. But I do want to make this part easy for people who don't know how to use github as well.
I plan to make this a fully fledged language by 2021. But so far I am currently learning everything, this was my first language and even github project as well.
- function implementation
- file reading
- its first standard library
- easier installation, compilation
- its own Jupyter notebook
I have been the only one developing this at this point. If you want to help me develop this language more. Maybe you know how to make a proper compiler or know how to make the grammar better or have ideas on the language or number system please do message me. or email me jjazcarraga@up.edu.ph
