Strang

Strang is an esoteric programming language by User:FluixMakesEsolangs, the official interpreter is made in Python. The name is a mixture of strange and string but it sounds weird.

Functions

The language has 8 functions:

• '?' - Replaces string such as

  ?::Foo|F|B

  would turn "Foo" into "Boo"!
• '!' - Prints argument such as

  !::$1

  would print what is the output of line 1.
• '+' - Concats 2 strings like

  +::$$| Concat

  would concat the thing on the previous line if it has an output
• '-' - removes instance from string so

  -::FooBar|Bar

  becomes "Foo"!
• '--' counts the number of a sub-string in a string

  --::***|*

  becomes 3, this function is to turn unary numbers into base-10.
• '*' - replaces an existing instance of all strings that include a keyword like

  *::Foo|Keyword

• '~' - loops until A is NOT in B
• '@' - ends a loop

Syntax

# Comment (Comments are still counted as lines so if you have a line dedicated to a comment you must account for it)
foo:: # this is a function
f::this|is|how|you|get|multiple|arguments
!::%% # this is input
!::$$ # this grabs from the last line and errors out if the last line didint produce a string
!::$line number # this  is like $$ but $??? grabs from a specified line
!::Hello\nNewlines! # Newlines are supported

Examples

Hello, world! - Just a basic hello world program.

!::Hello, world!

Cat Program - Prints users input!

!::%%

Addition/Concat - Basic addition for unary, concats 2 strings.
