ENIDE Language

Conditionals

if / else if / else

.nd#include<english.lang>;

number score = 72;

if(score >= 90) {
    print("Grade: A");
} else if(score >= 75) {
    print("Grade: B");
} else if(score >= 60) {
    print("Grade: C");
} else {
    print("Grade: F");
}

Switch / Case

Use switch when testing a single variable against multiple exact values. default runs when no case matches.

.nd#include<english.lang>;

number day = 3;

switch(day) {
    case(1) { print("Monday");    }
    case(2) { print("Tuesday");   }
    case(3) { print("Wednesday"); }
    case(4) { print("Thursday");  }
    case(5) { print("Friday");    }
    case(6) { print("Saturday");  }
    case(7) { print("Sunday");    }
    default { print("Invalid Day of the week");   }
}

Loops

for— known number of iterations

The for loop takes three arguments: initialisation, condition, and update, separated by commas.

.nd#include<english.lang>;

for(number i = 1, i <= 5, i++) {
    print(i);
}
/* Output: 1  2  3  4  5 */

while — condition-based iteration

Use while when the number of iterations is not known in advance.

.nd#include<english.lang>;

number index = 0;

while(index < 5) {
    print(index);
    index:number += 1;
}
/* Output: 0  1  2  3  4 */

Exceptions

Use try / catch / finally to handle runtime errors gracefully. The finally block always runs, even if an error occurred.

.nd#include<english.lang>;

try {
    print("Trying...");
    /* code that might fail */
} catch {
    print("Something went wrong.");
} finally {
    print("This always runs.");
}

Functions

Functions group reusable logic under a name. Parameters are declared with their types, and functions can return a value with return.

Function without return value

.nd#include<english.lang>;

function greet(string name, number age) {
    print("Hi, I am", name, "and I am", age, "years old");
}

greet("claudio", 16);
greet("euclides",     29);

Function with return value

.nd#include<english.lang>;

function add(number a, number b) {
    return(a + b);
}

function isAdult(number age) {
    return(age >= 18);
}

print(add(3, 7));          /* 10    */
print(isAdult(16));      /* false */
print(isAdult(29));      /* true  */

Libraries

Libraries extend ENIDE with additional functions. Include them at the top of your file alongside the language pack.

math.lib

.nd#include<english.lang>;
#include<math.lib>;

print(Sqrt(100));           /* 10   */
print(Max(4, 9));            /* 9    */
print(Min(4, 9));            /* 4    */
print(PI);                  /* 3.14159... */

CLI Commands

All ENIDE functionality is accessible from the terminal. Replace english with your language name where applicable.
