SCL aims to be a human-friendly Computer Algebra System (CAS) inspired by
|
||||
[maxima](https://maxima.sourceforge.io/) that feels like writing on paper. In
|
||||
its current state, SCL can be used as a basic 4-function calculator with order
|
||||
of operations and local variables. The codebase is about 1,400 lines of C,
|
||||
its current state, SCL can be used as a functional programming language capable
|
||||
of performing simple arithmetic. The codebase is about 2,000 lines of C,
|
||||
including a parser, interpreter, and runtime. It uses a linked environment
|
||||
scoping model.

|

You can also define your own functions and variables:
|
||||
|
||||
```scl
|
||||
> f(x) = 2x
|
||||
> f(x) 2 * x
|
||||
> n = 3
|
||||
> f(n)
|
||||
= 6
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As SCL uses a linked environment model for scope, arguments are passed by
|
||||
reference by default. If you would like to pass by value (i.e., a copy) you may
|
||||
use the syntax:
|
||||
Being a functional programming language at heart, one can of course use lambda functions:
|
||||
|
||||
```scl
|
||||
> f(x) = x = 1
|
||||
> n = 4
|
||||
> f($n) # Pass a copy of n.
|
||||
= 1
|
||||
> n
|
||||
> (\(x) 2 * x)(5)
|
||||
= 10
|
||||
> f(g) g(2)
|
||||
> f(\(x) 2 * x)
|
||||
= 4
|
||||
> f(n) # Pass a reference to n.
|
||||
= 1
|
||||
> n
|
||||
> 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Symbolic algebra is done in the following manner:
|
||||
|
||||
```scl
|
||||
> f(x) = x^4
|
||||
> diff(f, x:sym, 2)
|
||||
= 12x^2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
SCL will dynamically decide on types, but you can state them explicitly as
|
||||
well:
|
||||
|
||||
```scl
|
||||
> f(x: int): int = 2x
|
||||
> f(3)
|
||||
= 6
|
||||
> f(3.1)
|
||||
! Traceback:
|
||||
! In call to `f(x: int): int`:
|
||||
! TypeError (58): Argument `x` must be of type `int`.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Variables can be defined, with several attributes:
|
||||
|
||||
```scl
|
||||
> a = 1 // Interpret type automatically.
|
||||
> b:int = 1 // Must be int.
|
||||
> c:const:int = 1 // Constant: value can never change.
|
||||
> x:sym // Treated symbolicaly.

||||
