LOLCODE Recommendation v1.0

Conditional Operators

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

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

See: lol r and 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 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:

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
