Lin Language Syntax

Rusticle is a custom language interpreter with a unique syntax. This document provides an overview of the syntax and usage of the Lin language.

Example Program

Here is an example program that demonstrates the syntax of Lin:

import "add" from "addition";

// declare variables
manle a = 6;
manle b = 7;
manle c = a + b;

// conditional statements
agar (c < 0) {
    likh c;
} nhito {
    likh b;
}

// function declaration
functio check(a) {
    likh a;
}

// function calls
check(1);

// loops
for (manle i = 0; i < 3; i = i + 1) {
  likh i;
}

add(11, 11);

Keywords

The following keywords are reserved in Lin:

  • and
  • class
  • nhito (else)
  • false
  • for
  • functio (function)
  • agar (if)
  • nil
  • or
  • likh (print)
  • dede (return)
  • super
  • this
  • true
  • manle (var)
  • jabTak (while)
  • import
  • from

Variables

Variables are declared using the manle keyword:

manle a = 10;
manle b = 20;
manle c = a + b;

Functions

Functions are declared using the functio keyword:

functio add(a, b) {
    likh a + b;
}

Functions can be called with arguments:

add(5, 10);

Conditional Statements

Conditional statements use the agar and nhito keywords:

agar (a > b) {
    likh "a is greater than b";
} nhito {
    likh "a is not greater than b";
}

Loops

While Loop

The jabTak keyword is used for while loops:

jabTak (a < 10) {
    likh a;
    a = a + 1;
}

For Loop

For loops are structured as follows:

for (manle i = 0; i < 5; i = i + 1) {
    likh i;
}

Logical Operators

Lin supports the following logical operators:

  • and
  • or

Example:

agar (a > 0 and b > 0) {
    likh "Both a and b are positive";
}

Comparison Operators

Lin supports the following comparison operators:

  • >
  • >=
  • <
  • <=
  • ==
  • !=

Example:

agar (a == b) {
    likh "a is equal to b";
}

Arithmetic Operators

Lin supports the following arithmetic operators:

  • +
  • -
  • *
  • /
  • %

Example:

manle sum = a + b;
manle difference = a - b;
manle product = a * b;
manle quotient = a / b;
manle remainder = a % b;

Grouping

Expressions can be grouped using parentheses:

manle result = (a + b) * c;

Importing Functions

Functions can be imported from packages using the import and from keywords:

import "add" from "addition";

This will import the add function from the addition package.

Printing

The likh keyword is used to print values:

likh "Hello, World!";
likh a;

Comments

Single-line comments start with //

// This is a comment
manle a = 10; // This is another comment
