Slug

Slug is a programming language which can only do things a finite number of times, meaning that you can't make infinite loops. Slug also needs to be compiled.

Syntax

You can store values in lines. Like this:

1 #0

Line one has the value of 0. You can also store strings in lines:

1 "Hello world"

You can label lines using the ':' command.

1 str: "Hello world"

To print you use the .out command:

1 "Hello, world" .out

But what if we want to print a variable, how do we get a variable from a line? we use the @ command.

1 str: "Hello world"
2 @str .out

To store a bool you use '~' The basic syntax is modifier1 value modifier2 .

Control flow

The '.if' function takes a bool, a line using the '\', and a number, like this:

1 n: "H" .out
2 b: ~true
3 .if @b, \n, 10 ; if b is true repeat line n ten times

You use '.in' for input

Programs

A+B problem

1 a: .in
2 b: .in
3 sum: @a + @b
4 @sum .out
