z^2

a complex language with high level programming and moderate syntax.

Get started

Usage

1. Clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/kokonut27/zsq.git

2. Add an alias

macOS/Linux

If you use macOS Catalina or newer, you will use Z-Shell so you will have a .zshrc file in your home folder. Most distributions of Linux use Bash by default, so you will have a .bashrc file in your home folder.

Of course, it is possible to change your shell so you should check before running the command.

Run the following command. If you use Bash replace .zshrc with .bashrc:

echo "alias zsq='python -B zsq'" >> .zshrc

Windows

You may want to install Windows Subsystem for Linux

echo "alias zsq='python -B zsq'" >> .bashrc

Shell

$ alias zsq="python -B zsq"

3. Run z^2

Create a file named index.zsq, which will contain all of your code. Then enter the following in the shell:

$ zsq index.zsq

Then you're all done!

Example program

// Defines the Fibonacci function
function Fibonacci(num) { // Creates an arg 'num'
  whatif num <= 1 {
    return(num)
  }
  else {
    return(Fibonacci(num-1) + Fibonacci(num-2))
  }

var ask = prompt("amount of fibonacci sequence? ")

for fib_seq in span(ask) {
  print(Fibonacci(fib_seq))
}

This is a current work in progress as of right now. Visit EXAMPLES.md for more examples.
