NamePending

A quick selfstudy into how language works

Runs off a main function

run the test file with python2.7 NP.py test.np -r -a "Hello World!" 10 1

Hello World!

A hello world program is simple enough. Create a main lambda and call the print line function

main = lambda(arglist){
  println('Hello World!');
};

Alternatively, lambda can be replaced with λ for a shorthand lambda declaration

main = λ(arglist){
  println('Hello World!');
};

Conditionals

NamePending uses the if then else style of if statement

if (conditional) then {
  If True
} else {
  If False
}; 

Arrays/Lists

#declaration
list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

#access
x = list[1]; #single value
y = list[0, 2, 4]; #sublist

Loops

Loops are recursive

let loop(i = 0, limit = 10, step = 1){
  Do things here

  if (i < limit) then{
    i = i + step;
    loop(i, limit, step);
  }:
};

Returns

NamePending uses cascading returns Almost every code block can return a value. if statements, lets, functions

value = if (conditional) then{
  return 1;
} else {
  return 2;
};

func = lambda(){
  return 3;
};
value = func();

Cascading returns

value = let loop(i = 0){
  return if (i == 5) {
    return i;
  } else {
    loop(i + 1);
  };
};
