====== LOLCODE Recommendation v1.0 ====== ===== Conditional Operators ===== * BIGR THAN (>) * SMALR THAN (<) * LIEK ( == ) Notice that these can be modified into the other three conditional operators with the NOT logical operator. For example, "NOT SMALR THAN" functionally equivalent to ">=" in most other languages, and "NOT LIEK" is functionally equivalent to "!=" in other languages. ===== Logical/Bitwise Operators ===== * NOT (!/~) * AND (&&/&) * OR (||/|) * XOR (^) These should be self explanatory. While there is no offical operator precedence, these should be higher priority than the conditional operators listed above. ===== Assignment Operator ===== * LOL var R ( = ) See: [[keywords:lol r]] and [[keywords:i has a]] ===== Computational Operators ===== I think the best way to show these is with examples. In them, if b is stated as "[b]" it is optional, and (as shown in the standard column) defaults to 1 when not specified. BTW LOLCODE : // Standard a UP b : a + b UPZ a!![b] : a += b (b=1) a NERF b : a - b NERFZ a!![b] : a -= b (b=1) a TIEMZ b : a * b TIEMZD a!![b] : a *= b (b=1) a OVAR b : a / b OVARZ a!![b] : a /= b (b=1) Note that again, while there is no formal recommendation on prededence, the non-mutating operators (not +=, etc) should have lower precedence than all other operators, and the mutating should have the same (very low) precedence as the assignment statement.) ---- I highly recommend looking at [[contributions:signify-order]]: RPN seems like the way to handle precedence and grouping. --- //Adam, 2007/05/31 10:08// Make "Polish Reverse Notation" an optional mode, or a function: named PRON: I HAS A noob ITZ PRON 2 3 UP 7 TIEM 7 OVAR LOL noob R PRON noob 1 7 OVAR NERF ---- What about a modulo operator? ---- The two immediate words that popped into my head are MODZ and CEPTN, although now I'm wanting LEFTOVERZ... ---- Here's a proposal for Modulus and Exponent: Modulus: I HAS A num ITZ 8 LEFTOVER 3 BTW returns 2 I HAS A num2 ITZ LEFTOVERZ 9!!4 BTW returns 1 Exponent: I HAS A num3 ITZ 3 BOOM 3 BTW returns 27 I HAS A num4 ITZ BOOMZ 2!!10 BTW returns 1024
