Dees

Dees is a compiled, dynamicaly typed, programming language made with C++ and Python.

Quickstart

(using the js syntax hilighter works well enough for this)

fizzbuzz(n)->{
	for( i=1 )( i<n )( i=i+1 ){
		
		if( i%3==0 and i%5 == 0 ){
			print("fizzbuzz")
		}else if( i%3 ==0 ){
			print("fizz")
		}else if( i%5 == 0){
			print("buzz")
		}else{
			print(i)
		}
	}
}

fizzbuzz(20)

Note: compilation requires `g++`

Installation

install python 3.6 or above
install g++
install dees pip install git+https://github.com/zyugyzarc/dees.git

Usage

you can compile your scripts by doing
python3 -m dees myfile.dees (.dees is the file extension for dees scripts.)

Reference

Types

number (integer or float)
string
bool
null
function
list [experimental, not implemented]

Variables

variables can be created similar to the following:
x = 0
b = false
foo = "Hello"
bar = 'Hello'
baz = null

Statements

the following statements work as given:

if( ... ){
	//do something
}else if( ... ){
	//do something else
}else{
	//do something else else
}

i = 0
while(i < 10){
	//do something
	i = i + 1
}

for (i = 0)(i < 10)(i = i+1){
	//do something
}

Operators

the following operators have been implemented

addition (x + y)
subtraction (x - y)
multiplication (x * y)
greater than (x > y)
less than (x < y)
equal to (x == y)
modulo (x % y)

Functions

functions can be defined as such

func(x)->{
	print("Hello ", x)
}

and called by
func("Joe")

recursive functions also work:

fact(x)->{
	if( x==0 ){
		return 1
	}
	return x * fact(x-1)
}

you can also use lambdas or inline functions.

//this is an inline function
(x)->{ print("Hello", x) }

and can be used to define functions normally

func = (x)->{ print("Hello", x) }
