Usage

Solstice files use the .sols extension. Run files as you would with any other interpreted language.

Using Solstice

Types

• int: Ground int (64 bit integer) eg 3, 7, 31432
• double: Ground double (Double precision floating point) eg 3.141, 2.7
• string: Ground string (char*) eg "Hello, World"
• char: Ground char (char) eg 'a'
• bool: Ground bool (either true or false)

Printing

Prefix an expression with puts to print it to the console.

puts "Hello, world!"
puts 3.141
puts 7
puts 'a'
puts true

Math

Add numbers with + (more operations coming soon)

puts 1 + 1
puts 3.14 + 2.7
puts 532 + 314 + 89432

Comparisons

Compare 2 values with == and != (more operations coming soon)

puts 5 == 5
puts 5 != 5
puts "dingus" == "dongus"
puts "dingus" != "dongus"

Variables

Set a variable with =, similar to Python.

x = 5
y = 10
puts x + y

Control Flow

Use if to execute code if a condition is true.

password = "dingus"

if password == "password123" {
    puts "Your password is insecure."
}

if password == "dingus" {
    puts "Cool password!"
}

Use while to loop over a statement.

number = 0

while number != 10 {
    number = number + 1 
    puts number
}
