The standard library contains a lot of useful functions and global variables.

Builtin variables

args: List[String]

The command line arguments provided to the script.

Builtin functions

abs(Int) > Int

Returns the absolute of the input.

abs(Float) > Float

Returns the absolute of input.

dbgEnv() > Void

Prints the current internal environment of the interpreter to stdout. This is useful for debugging the interpreter.

exit() > Void

Exits the program and interpreter with exitcode 0.

exit(Int) > Void

Exits the program and interpreter with the exitcode specified.

input() > (String, String)

Reads a line from stdin.

If it succeeds the read line will be in the first string and the second one will be nil.

On error the first one will be nil and the second one will contain the reason of failure.

max(Int, Int) > Int

Returns the bigger input.

max(Float, Float) > Float

Returns the bigger input.

min(Int, Int) > Int

Returns the smaller input.

min(Float, Float) > Float

Returns the smaller input.

min(Int, Int) > Int

Returns the smaller input.

min(Float, Float) > Float

Returns the smaller input.

print(AnyType) > Void

Prints the object without a newline to stdout.

(AnyType is not an actual type but an internal the interpreter uses, so that it can work with any class.)

println(AnyType) > Void

Prints the object with a newline to stdout.

(AnyType is not an actual type but an internal the interpreter uses, so that it can work with any class.)

range(Int) > [Int]

Returns a list starting at 0 up to but not including the input.

range(Int, Int) > [Int]

Returns a list starting at the first input up to but not including the second input.
