Triple-U is a programming language which uses only three characters: u, w (double u) and ꪛ (triple u).
Overview
Triple-U operates on an infinite tape of data strings, each starting empty.
There is also a pointer which can access any data string on the tape, as well as a "hold string" for temporary storage.
The following instructions are available:
| Instruction | What it does |
|---|---|
uuX |
X can be any of three characters mentioned above. Append X to the current data string. |
uwu |
Delete one character from the end of the current data string. |
uww |
Clear the current data string. |
wuu |
Move the pointer to the left. |
wuw |
Move the pointer to the right. |
wwu |
While the current data string does not end in ꪛ... |
uwu |
End while. |
ꪛuu |
Set the hold string to the current string. |
ꪛuw |
Replace the current string with the hold string. |
I/O instructions
| Instruction | What it does |
|---|---|
ꪛwu |
Input an integer and append a ꪛ followed by its binary representation (u for 0, w for 1) to the current string. If 0 is input, do not append anything. |
ꪛww |
Input an character and append a ꪛ followed by the binary representation of its codepoint (u for 0, w for 1) to the current string. If 0 is input, do not append anything. |
ꪛuꪛ |
Input a float and separate it into an integer and the number of digits after he decimal point. For example, 6.02 becomes 602, 2. And append a ꪛ, the binary representation of the first number, (u for 0, w for 1), another ꪛ and the binary representation of the second number to the current string. If 0 is input, do not append anything. |
ꪛwꪛ |
Parse the section of the current string after the last ꪛ as a binary number and output as a decimal integer. |
ꪛꪛu |
Parse the section of the current string after the last ꪛ as a binary number and output the corresponding character. |
ꪛꪛw |
Parse the section of the current string after the penultimate ꪛ as two ꪛ-separated binary numbers (X followed by Y) and output X * 10-Y as a float. |
The instruction ꪛꪛꪛ is undefined behavior.
