# High Ground
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
High Ground is a programming language based on Ground.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is the reference language designed to teach you how to build your own Ground-based language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Compiling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, ensure CGround is installed on your system with `sudo make install`. Then, compile with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
g++ src/main.cpp -o hg -lgroundvm
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
High Ground files use the `.hg` extension. Run files as you would with any other interpreted language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using High Ground
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 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'

|
### 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
|
