SemiColon Programming Language (SPL)

Compiler creation in progress https://github.com/Craigspaz/SPL-Compiler

Intended for serverside scripting for websites.

Hello World

Print("Hello World");

Print Numbers 1-10 while loop

var x = 1;
while(x <= 10);
	Print(x);
endloop;

Print Numbers 1-10 for loop

for(var y = 1; y <= 10; y = y + 1);
	Print(y);
endloop;

Sample Function use

function testFunction(var value, var other);
	Print(value);
	Print(other);
endfunc;

testFunction(5,"Pie");

Pointers

Get memory address example

The code below sets y to the memory address of x

	var x = 10;
	var y = @x;

Dereference operator example

The code below sets z to the value y points to

	var x = 10;
	var y = @x;
	var z = ~y;

Set a value at the address a pointer points

The code below sets x to the value 5

	var x = 10;
	var y = @x;
	~y = 5;

Example Comment

//This is a comment. A semicolon is not required at the end of this comment because it is on it's own line
//Any line that starts with "//" is ignored
var x = 5; //This is also a comment but notice the semicolon at the end of this comment;

//The following line prints out the value of x
Print(x);

Include Example

Content of testInclude.cr

function doesNotExistAnywhere();
	Print("This is a function");
endfunc;

Content of test.cr

include "./testFolder/testInclude.cr";
doesNotExistAnywhere();

If test.cr is executed the following is the result

This is a function

Arrays

	var x = {};
	append(x,"Appends this string to x");

	var y = {6, "Hello", 2, 338, 29};
	var x = y[1];
	y[1] = 3;
	Print(x); // This prints out "Hello";
	Print(y[1]); // This prints out 3;
