## Writing programs with Ground
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ground is a very easy language to learn. In this guide, you will learn how to write a simple calculator in Ground, as well as best practices (which there aren't many of, since Ground is so simple).

Note: This assumes you've read and understand the syntax.md document in this folder.

### Let's start!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open a new file with the `.grnd` extension. Should look something like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Real empty in that file.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's add some code! Create a label for the start, since we'll loop back once we've calculated, and ask for the user's input:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
@start
|
||
|
|
stdout "Calculation: "
|
||
|
|
stdin &calc
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the calc variable, we have whatever the user typed in. This should look something like `9+10`, `1 / 3` or who knows what else. But first we should organise this data. Let's create a loop to iterate through this input, and a counter to keep moving forward:
