`LML
`LML, pronounced as “elemel”, is an esoteric programming language made by Saketh Suresh (User:sane_theinsane) in 2018. The language uses 8 commands. `LML works with a list called LI and a variable called X having a default value of 0. Out of the 8 commands, 2 are for modifying X, 3 for adding elements to LI, 1 for input, 1 for reseting X and the last one for printing the elements in LI.
Comands
The 8 commands used in `LML are:
Name | Meaning |
---|---|
+ |
adds 1 to X |
- |
subtracts 1 from X |
< |
pushes in the current value of X into LI, i.e. if X = 8 then 8 is added to LI |
( |
pushes in the current value of X into LI in the form of a lowercase character, i.e. if X = 0 then ' ' is added to LI and if X = 1 'a' is added to LI |
[ |
does the same thing like ( except the characters added to LI are in capitals
|
: |
takes input as a string or integer and adds it to LI |
; |
joins all the elements of LI together and prints it |
R |
resets the value of X to 0 |
TO BE NOTED
In `LML you can write the code in separate lines, as any other commands except the the ones in the table are ignored.
Examples
A program that prints 6 abb
:
+++ +++< sets the value of X to 6 and adds 6 to LI
R( resets the value of X and adds ' ' to LI
+( sets X to 1 and adds 'a' to LI
+((; sets X to 2 and adds 'b'to LI 2 times and then joins the elements and prints them
Hello World (no comments and is done in one line; guess what it does yourself):
++++++++[---(+++++++((+++(R(+++++++++++++++++++++++[--------(+++(------(--------(;
A program that takes your name and prints Hi
before it (with comments):
++++ ++++[ sets X to 8 and adds 'H' to LI
+( sets X to 9 and adds 'i' to LI
R( resets X to 0 and adds ' ' to LI
: ; takes input in this case your name and adds it to LI then joins the elements and prints them
When the same code is written in one line: ++++++++[+(R(:;
we see it is very small and that is cool.
That's basically `LML.
