How to get Snakel
See Snakel/Compatibility methods
Syntax
Every program starts with a definition, to actually define a function, you can do this:
1: def name[arguments]; !Used for augmented functions
2:
ignore !"ignore" will go to the end of the function
3: def name:none; !Used for argumentless functions
4:
ignore
I/O in Snakel also exist:
1: def main:none;
2:
tell["anything here"] !Prints "anything here" in one line
3:
user !Gets user input. No argument required
By the way. The strings are actually multi-liners so:
1: def main:none;
2:
tell["multi
3: line"] !Will print "multi\nline"
Now let's talk about the "ignore" and "end".
1: !we already know that "ignore" goes to the end of the function, But did you know that you can also ignore errors with "ignore" and with "test"?
2: test:1/0 !Will rasie a zero devision error
3: ignore ZeroDevision:tell["inf"] !will print "inf" (or infinity) instead of raising zero devision error
4: end !"end" just ends the program
Common mistakes
