IDELang Specification

Data Types

• number, string, and bool.
  • number: Support for integer arithmetic.
    var num = 42;
  • string: Represent textual data.
    var greeting = "Hello, IDELang!";
  • bool: Defined as true and false.
    var isTrue = true;

Variables

Variables are declared using the var keyword, with type being inferred from the assigned value.
var x = 5;

Arithmetic Operations

Supported operations: +, -, *, /
var sum = x + 10;

String Operations

• %: String concatenation
  var fullName = "Hello " % "World!";

Boolean Operations

Supported operations: &&, ||, !, ==, !=
var bothTrue = (x > 4) && (z == true);

Relational Operations

<, >, ==, !=, <=, >=
Used with numbers, but == and != can also be used for strings and bool.

Conditional Structures

• if(condition) {}
• if(condition) {} else {}

Examples:
if (x > 10) { y = "Greater"; }
if (z) { y = "True"; } else { y = "False"; }

Loops

While loops: while(condition) {}

var i = 0;
while (i < 5) { i = i + 1; }

Functions

Functions are defined using the func keyword, and their return type is inferred based on the type of the returned value.

func add(a: number, b: number)
{
return a + b; // Inferred return type: number
}

There can be different functions with the same names but different sets of parameters.

Procedures (Procs)

Procedures are introduced using the proc keyword and do not return a value.
proc display (message: string) { }

Print Operation

The print operation is used to display output.
print("Hello, World!"); // Displays: Hello, World!
print(x); // Displays the value of x
