syntax

TODO better documentation

a source file currently looks like that:

// this is a line comment
/* block comment*/
builtin_function(arg1, arg2); // call to a builtin function
var varible; // variable declaration default value is zero
varible = input(); // variable assigment
if (varible == sqrt(4)) { // if statement
    print(variable); 
} else {
    return 1;
}
var i = 0;
while(i <= 4) {
    i = i + 1;
    print(i*i);
}
loop {
    var v = input();
    print(v-1);
    if ( v < 0 ) {
        break; // exit the loop
    }else 
        continue;
}
return 0; // exit the program with exit code 0

these builtin functions are currently available:

name	arg count	description
print	1	print a variable to stdout
input	0	read a variable from stdin
pow	2	first argument to the power of the second
randint	2	generate a random interger between arg1 and arg2
