Kyn Syntax
This document details syntax of provided Kyn modules.
Call a module by writing it's name, then the arguments for the module.
Substitute the output of a module into another module's arguments by enclosing the call in (parenthases).
Access a variable by prefixing it's name with a $ dollar sign.
Input/Output
Prints all the arguments provided to the console.
Example: print "Hello!"
println
Prints all the arguments provided to the console, appending a newline after.
Example: println "Hello!"
input
Gets a line of input from the console.
Example: input (this does nothing but prompt the user)
Another example: let userInput = (input)
Data
let
Defines a variable to the value provided.
Example: let myVar = "Hello!"
Computations
math
Computes a mathematical expression. Supports addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), power to (^) and mod (%).
Example: math 4 * 3 + 12 / 4 - 5 ^ 3
compare
Compares two values. Supports equal (==) and inequal (!=) on all values. Supports greater than (>), greater than or equal to (>=), lesser than (<), and lesser than or equal to (<=) for numbers.
Control Flow
exit
Exits the program with a return code. If no return code or an invalid return code is provided, exits with code 0. Otherwise, exits with given code.
if
Runs a module. If the output of that module is 0 or "false", skips the code in that block. If an else block is provided after, that is running instead. Otherwise, the code inside the if block is ran.
Example:
if compare 1 == 1 {
println "1 is the same as 1"
} else {
println "1 is not the same as 1"
}
while
Runs a module. If the output of that module is 0 or "false", skips the code in that block. Otherwise, loops the block until the module ran is 0 or "false".
Example:
let number = 0
while compare $number <= 10 {
number = ($number + 1)
println $number
}
