MATRIX

a matrix (array in other languages) is a multidimensional list of variables.

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
I HAS A TBL ITZA MATRIX
TBL 0 IZ 1
TBL 1 IZ 2
TBL 2 IZ "^_^"
TBL 3 IZA MATRIX
TBL 3 0 IZ TBL 0
I HAS A I ITZ 0
IM IN UR LOOP, UPPIN YR I!!1 TILL NERF LENGTH IN UR TBL!!1
	VISIBLE TBL I
IM OUTA UR LOOP
VISIBLE TBL 3 0
KTHXBYE

I HAS A TBL ITZA MATRIX

TBL 0 IZ 1

the first element in tbl is now 1

TBL 3 IZA MATRIX

create a new matrix within the original matrix

IM IN UR LOOP, UPPIN YR I!!1 TILL NERF LENGTH IN UR TBL!!1

stay in the loop, increase I by 1 until i>=tbl.length-1

VISIBLE TBL 3 0

prints the value at tbl[3][0]

Proposal for alternate syntax - I guess MATRIX is ok, but I was thinking PILE

I HAS A pokemons IZ PILE
pokemons 0 IZ "Pikachu"
pokemons 1 IZ "Jigglypuff"

then to loop through the PILE

ALL MAH pokemons IZ pokemon
    VISIBLE pokemon
MOAR

MAH BUKKIT has been proposed. BUKKIT is probably a better array indicator.

I HAS A pokemons IZ BUKKIT

Need a good syntax for showing the keys too.

BUKKIT is a nice keyword for array, didn't think of that :p

For the keys, we could use the # to indicate number, like

TBL#1,3

would be the same as tbl[1][3]

How about R for getting an object of a particular type?

I HAS A TBL R MATRIX
I HAS A VAR IZ 0

I gotta say, I like mah better than matrix. Matrix seems invented, while MAH has kitty precedence. — Risser, 2007/05/29 18:04

Agree with the above. Also, when I coded up hey-guys for threading, MAH just flowed better. — wohali, 2007/05/29 19:44
