Laiyes is an esoteric programming language based around the idea of doing operation to a value just by typing them rather than first declaring to what variable. It also makes use of mostly single character commands to make programs shorter.

Overview

Laiyes makes use of one value which most instructions modify called the working value. All code is written on one line, but multiple lines can be used to make code look nicer.

Variables

Laiyes has 26 variables all initiated to 0, labeled a to z. Variables are either numbers (floating point) or strings.

Command	Name	Description	Argument
a...z	Store	Assing the working value to one of the 26 variables
~	Recall	Assign one of the 26 variables to the working value	Variable
\	Reset	Reset working value to 0
'...'	String	Assign a string to the working value

I/O

Command	Name	Description	Argument
,	Output	Print the working value
_	Output variable	Print a variable	Variable
?	Input	Prompt user for input (input is a string of n length
"..."	Print	Print a string

Operators

Laiyes treats strings containing a properly formatted number as numbers.

'1'+'1',

Will output 2, not 11.

Command	Name	Description	Argument
+	Add	Add to working value, if string concatenates the working value and argument as strings	Number, String, Variable, Input
-	Subtract	Subtract from the working value	Number, Variable, Input
*	Multiply	Multiply working value	Number, Variable, Input
/	Divide	Divide the working value	Number, Variable, Input
%	Modulo	Take the modulus of the working value	Number, Variable, Input
^	Power	Take working value to the power of n (supports decimals)	Number, Variable, Input
&	Concatenate	Concatenate working value as string with argument	Number, String, Variable, Input
`	Take	Take the nth element of a string (treats numbers as strings) (start indexing at 1) will return an empty string if index out of range	Number, Variable, Input

Logic

All logic opererators must be ended with a : to indicate what code should be run if the condition is met. Logic operators consisting of multiple characters can have their characters appear in any order.

Command	Name	Description	Argument
:	End	Marks the end of a logic statement
|	Else	Marks a section to execute if condition isn't met (placed after an End and must also be ended by it)
=	Equal	Executes code if working value is equal to argument	Number, String, Variable, Input
!= / =!	Not Equal	Executes code if working value is not equal to argument	Number, String, Variable, Input
>	Greater Than	Executes code if working value is more than argument	Number, Variable, Input
>= / =>	Greater Than or Equal	Executes code if working value is more or equal to argument	Number, Variable, Input
<	Less Than	Executes code if working value is less than argument	Number, Variable, Input
<= / =<	Less Than or Equal	Executes code if working value is less or equal to working value	Number, Variable, Input

Flow

Command	Name	Description	Argument
;	Terminate	Stop the program
(...)	Loop	Repeat code inside (you can use a conditional to escape from the loop by placing the end outside the bracket)
{...}	While 0	Repeat code inside unless wokring value is equal to 0

Special

The command $ is used for special commands, its behaviour changes depending on the working value 'open:' and 'exe:' are optional inclusions for a full interpreter

Working value	Description
''	Clear output
'~'	Clear variables
'256'	Set working value to a sting of 256 unique characters
'open:'	Open file (name after the :)
'exe:'	Execute system command (command after the :)

With a small alteration the program can be made to allow the user to input any starting state to simulate.

Due to the lack of support for lists, a string is used, making the intreperter very slow, to compensate the user must set the size of the memory.
Due to the usage of $ this intreperter only works in revision 1.2 or higher
