Extensible Embeddable Language - Example Code

Example Code

The classic hello world program can be written as follows:

export function main { print("Hello, world!\n"); return 0; }

The following is an example of a recursive function:

export function main { print("Recursion test 1:\n"); procedure recurse(arg) { print("arg = ", arg, "\n"); if arg recurse(arg - 1); } recurse(10); print("Recursion test 2; Mutual Recursion:\n"); procedure mrecurse2(arg); procedure mrecurse1(arg) { print("arg = ", arg, "\n"); if arg mrecurse2(arg); } procedure mrecurse2(arg) { mrecurse1(arg - 1); }; mrecurse1(10); print("Recursion test 2; Mutual Recursion with Function Reference:\n"); procedure mrrecurse1(arg, fn) { print("arg = ", arg, "\n"); if arg fn(arg, fn); } local mrr2 = procedure (arg, fn) { mrrecurse1(arg - 1, fn); }; mrrecurse1(10, mrr2); print(Recursion tests done.\n); return 0; }

Famous quotes containing the word code:

    “Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
    Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
    In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
    And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
    He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
    Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
    The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
    Which holds that Man is naturally good,
    And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
    scourged.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
