Features

• Simple Syntax: Inspired by C-style languages with a focus on readability and clarity.
• Object-Oriented Programming: Includes classes, inheritance, and polymorphism for structured software design.
• Functional Programming: Provides support for functional programming paradigms.
• Standard Library: A comprehensive standard library for common tasks and utilities.
• Extensibility: Easily extendable with modules and libraries written in Pravaha or other languages.

Getting Started

Installation

To use Pravaha, you need to install the Pravaha compiler and interpreter. Detailed installation instructions will be provided here.

Hello, World!

// Hello, World! example in Pravaha
print("Hello, World!")

Variables and Constants

// Variable declaration
int x = 10
float y = 3.14

// Constant declaration
const int MAX_VALUE = 100

Functions

// Function declaration
bool check()
    return true

Control Structures

if (x > 5)
    print("x is greater than 5")
else
    print("x is not greater than 5")

// Else-if statement
if (x > 10)
    print("x is greater than 10")
else if (x > 5)
    print("x is greater than 5 but not greater than 10")
else
    print("x is 5 or less")

// Switch-Case Statement
int choice = 2
switch (choice)
    case 1
        print("Choice is 1")
        break
    case 2
        print("Choice is 2")
        break
    default
        print("Unknown choice")

Loops

while (x > 0)
    x--

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    print(i)

Object-Oriented Programming

// Class declaration
class MyClass
    private
        int data
    
    public
        void setData(int value)
            data = value
        
        int getData()
            return data

// Object creation
MyClass obj
obj.setData(42)
int value = obj.getData()
