C-Slash Programming

C-Slash (C/) is a tiny open-source programming language developed in C++. Codes in this repo are free to use and modify.

Installation

Download the "c-slash.exe" (Windows) or "c-slash" (Linux/Mac). (If the "c-slash" does not work, please download "c-slash.cpp" file and compile it by yourself.)

Printing C-Slash information

c-slash --info

Running the code file

The "main.csl" file can be found as an example in the repo.

c-slash <filename>.csl

(or)

./c-slash <filename>.csl

Comments

// This is a comment.

/* This is a comment
   written in more than
   just one line. */

Standard output

output("Hello, World!");

Standard input

The input() function accepts two arguments: variable name, and type (such as string, integer, float).

output("Enter a string:");
input(text, str);

output("Enter an integer:");
input(num, int);

output("Enter a float:");
input(float_num, float);

Variables

A variable can be any of four types: string, integer, float, and boolean.

Assigning

String

var name = "Codejapoe";

Integer

var age = 16;

Float

var net_worth = 7500000.00;

Boolean

var is_under_18 = true;

Modifying

Please do not forget to put "var" keyword to modify a value.

var age = 15; // assign
var age = 16; // modify

Arithmetic Operators

Addition:

var a = 3;
var b = 4;
var c = a + b + 3; 
// 10

var a = 3;
var a = a + 1;
// 4

Subtraction:

var a = 1;
var b = a - 2; 
// -1

Multiplication:

var a = 3;
var b = 4;
var c = a * b 
// 12

Division:

var a = 10;
var b = 2;
var c = a / b 
// 5

Output

Variable:

var name = "Codejapoe";
output("Hello, I am ${name}.");

Expression:

var age = 16;
output("I'm turning ${age + 1}.");

>>> I'm turning 17.

Escape sequence:

output("\"Once upon a time, ...\"");

>>> "Once upon a time, ..."

output("\$1 = 3,400 MMK");

>>> $1 = 3,400 MMK

output("Hello, World!\\I am leaning C-Slash.");

>>> Hello, World!\I am leaning C-Slash.

type() function

Friendly Reminder: This function only works with output() function.

var text = "hello"
output("Data \"${text}\" has the type of ${type(text)}.");

>>> Data "hello" has the type of str.

Features

• Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux
• Fast and easy to set up and run
• Works with or without semi-colon in multiple code-lines (Semi-colons must be used in a single code-line.)

Acknowledgements

I am not sure about the further development of this programming lanaguage. This is why I set this project as an open-source project. You may modify as you like and send the source code to my email address: [email protected]. You can further develope on if-else statement, loops, functions, and OOP. Anyone who updated this project will be defined as a contributor. Thank you kindly for supporting and if any error occurs, please fix it by yourself. Peace✌️
