STRTRAN

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

STRTRAN '(string transformer)' is an esolang thought up by User: Froginstarch it is a String Rewriting language like thue, but made by an idiot

In this programming language, you manipulate a string with comparisons, concatenation, and replacements

Comparisons

The comparison of 2 strings is done by the compare -> statment This takes 2 strings and compares them. If equal then run True, if not equal then run False

comp stringA -> stringB 
   true /- something -/ etrue
   efalse /- something else idk -/ efalse
ecomp

Concatenation

Concatenation is done with the ++ operator, this takes 2 strings and concatenation them into one string

"Hello " ++ "World!" /- "Hello world" -/

Replacing

You can replace specific characters in a string using the replace in with statement

replace "h" in "hi" with "b" /- hi -> bi -/

Templates

templates are this programming languages equivalent of functions, its also how you can do looping through the most optimal looping method, recursion. (note to reader: this was a mistake)

temp goobIt {a, b} do
   a ++ b ++ "goob"
etemp

IO

idk why this is a separate section but idk so suck it up nerd :)

IO in this language is made to be mighty simple.

they are done with the readstdin and outstdout instruction an example of IO is the coveted TRUTH MACHINE

temp loop{} do
   comp readstdin -> "1"
      true 
         outstdout "1" 
         loop{}
      etrue false 
         outstdout "0"
      efalse
   ecomp
etemp
loop{}

More Examples

Hey unsuspecting Esolanger! If you want to add some examples that you might have thought up. Thanks in advance :)

Computing class

as the writer as of now hasn't written an interpreter, so he isn't entirely sure. so yeah :p
