Language Project Prototype

A general-purpose programming language that resembles natural English, making programming more accessible and intuitive for everyone. This prototype transpiles English-like syntax to JavaScript.

Features

Core Language Features

• Variable Declaration and Assignment

  x is equal to 42
  name is equal to "John"
  

• User Input

  initialise name with user input "Enter your name:"
  initialise age as number with user input "Enter your age:"
  initialise isStudent as boolean with user input "Are you a student? (true/false):"
  

  Supports optional type specification (as number, as boolean, as string) and custom prompt messages.

• Mathematical Operations

  • Addition: result is equal to x plus y
  • Subtraction: result is equal to x minus y
  • Multiplication: result is equal to x times y
  • Division: result is equal to x divided by y

• Random Number Generation

  randomValue is equal to random number from 1 to 10
  diceRoll is equal to random number from 1 to 6
  

  Generates a random integer between the specified minimum and maximum values (inclusive). Both bounds can be literal numbers or expressions.

• Array Operations

  days is a list containing "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday"
  print size of days
  print position 1 of days
  

• Control Flow

  • If Statements: if x is greater than 10 then
  • If-Else Statements: if x is equal to 5 then ... else ...
  • For Loops:
    • Range: for i from 1 to 5
    • Array iteration: for day in days
  • While Loops: while x is less than 10

• Boolean Logic

  • AND: if x is greater than 5 and y is less than 10 then
  • OR: if x is equal to 5 or y is equal to 10 then
  • NOT: if x is not equal to 5 then

• Comparison Operators

  • Equal to: is equal to
  • Not equal to: is not equal to
  • Greater than: is greater than
  • Less than: is less than

• Ternary Conditionals

  if age is greater than 17 print "Adult" otherwise print "Minor"
  

• Increment/Decrement Operations

  increment counter by 1
  increment counter by 5
  

• Print Statements

  print "Hello, World!"
  print x
  print "Value: " + x
