The swas programming language

The Swas programming language

This is a language that was made for fun. It is completely written in python.

Latest Version: 1.8.3

Installation

Stable Release: pip install swas
Working Version: pip install git+https://github.com/CodeWithSwastik/swas.git

This is all that you need to do to start writing in swas lang.

Running

python -m swas [filename]

The filename is optional, if no filename is provided it will run the shell.

Online IDE

If you don't want to use swas on your local machine you can try it out on the Online IDE: https://codewithswastik.github.io/swas/

Getting Started

Hello World

output "Hello, World!"

Variables

Variables are containers for storing data.

Creating Variables

Swas has no command for declaring a variable.

A variable is created the moment you first assign a value to it.

x = 5
y = "Mark"

Using Variables

To use the variables, simply reference them

output x
output y

Case Sensitive

Note: Variables names are case sensitive i.e. a = 5 is not the same as A = 5

Comments

A Comment starts with a //, and anything after them will be ignored:

//This is a comment
output "Hello, World!"

Operators

Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values.

Arithmetic Operators

Operator	Name	Example
+	Addition	x + y
-	Subtraction	x - y
*	Multiplication	x * y
/	Division	x / y
%	Modulus	x % y
inc	Increment	inc x
dec	Decrement	dec x
^	Exponent	x ^ y

Logical Operators

Operator	Name	Example
==	Equals	x == y
!=	Not Equals	x != y
>	Greater than	x > y
>=	Greater than or equal to	x >= y
<	Lesser than	x < y
<=	Lesser than or equal to	x <= y

The Assignment Operator ( = )

The Assignment Operator ( = ) is used to assign a variable to a value.

If Else

An "if else statement" is written by using the if and else keywords.

Syntax

if condition {
  statement 
}
else {
  statement 
}

Note: The indentation isn't needed, it has been used here for readability

Example

name = input "Enter your name: "
if name == "John" {
  output "hi," + name 
}
else {
  output "bye," + name 
}

While Do

With the while loop you can execute a set of statements as long as a condition is true.

Syntax

while condition 
do {
  statement
}

Note: The indentation isn't needed, it has been used here for readability

Example

start = 1 
end = 10 

while start != end
do {
  output start
  inc start 
}

Data Types

Lists/Arrays

List/Array is a data structure consisting of a collection of values or variables. A list can be created using square brackets ([])

Example

list = [1,2,3,4,5]
