BAR-X

The title of this article is not correct because of technical limitations. The correct title is actually |x.

This is still a work in progress. It may be changed in the future.

|x is an esolang made by User:Wertix96 that only uses letters and the character '|'.

Defining instructions

The syntax for defining instructions is:

|x or |xy
    <op1 here>
    <op2 here>
    ...

<op> can be a defined variable, '.' for 1 or '_' for -1.

Lines are added together. 'xy' multiplies x and y together. After the calculations, the final value is the value of that definition.

Defining instructions

Name	Pre-defined	Syntax	Meaning
Set	No / Yes	|x	Sets variable x to value of definition
Square root	Neither	|xy	Both x and y are set to square root of value of definition
Division	One	|xy	The undefined one is set to value of definition divided by the defined one
Comparison	Both	|xy	If x*y is equal to value of definition; set both x and y to $t
If then	Yes	|x	If x is equal to $t; execute code inside of definition (Notice that defining instructions are not allowed!)

Non-defining instructions

These instructions can be put outside of definitions.

Non-defining instructions

Name	Syntax	Meaning
Print	x	Prints var x as unicode
Jump	.x	Sets inst pointer to var x
Comment	#abcdefg	A comment
