StAb - A General Purpose, Imperative, Static Typed Programming Language.

Hello World

 fn main() -> void {
    // println adds a new line automatically
    println("Hello, World")
 }

Basic Syntax

Variable Declaration

• Only supports int type as of now.

 int x;

While Loop

fn main() -> void{
  int x = 5;
  while x {
    x = x - 1;
  }
}

loop : Infinite looping construct

fn main() -> void{ 
 // infinite loop
 loop {
    println("Hello,World");
  }
}

For Loop

• The following snippets prints numbers from 0 to 500

 for i in 0 to 500 {
  println("{}", i);
 }

If Statement

int x = 5;

if x < 50 {
  x = x + 50;
}

User Defined Function

fn factorial(int n) -> int {
  
}

Reading input from the console

//Use the inbuilt input function
int x;
// Read the value into x
input(x);

Current Implementation Status

• intas a type.
• Support for for, while and loop construct.
• No class or struct (struct will be implemented)
• Support for Array added.
• Produces both Object and Executable.
• Supports printing to standard output using println
• Supports reading input from the console using input
• Checks for the existence of the main function
• Support for if else statement
• Improved Error Reporting
