Command Structure
MPI could be viewed as a form of markup language as instructions are encapsulated within bracket marks to differentiate them from regular text. The MPI command is specified first, followed by a colon, and then command arguments, separated by commas. If one of the arguments is a string that contains a comma, it is escaped by using a backslash or the {lit:} (for literal) command.
{ command : argument1, argument2 }Commands can be nested, taking the place of one or more arguments within the parent command to form more complex code:
{tell: {name:me} just looked at {name:this}., {owner:this}}Read more about this topic: Message Parsing Interpreter
Famous quotes containing the words command and/or structure:
“We can’t command our love, but we can our actions.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
