v1.1.2 snapshot 2

What's Changed

This Snapshot adds the Standard Library and Comments to Evaluate.
Also adds a devmode warning + force argument.

COMPATIBALITY WARNING: This snapshot removes Equation Syntax { }. Before switching to this snapshot, any instances of Legacy Equation Syntax will result in a fatal error.

As always, .app binaries must be created from source. Please find Windows, Unix and .sh binaries below.

Additions

standard#equate(calculation: string): Calculates a given question. Replaces legacy equation syntax { }.

standard#output(...args: string[]): Outputs to STDOUT.

standard#simplify(expression: string): Simplifies a given expression.

# this is a comment: Comment syntax. This is ignored by the lexer.

--force -f: Forces devmode

Deletions

{ }: Equation syntax. See standard#equate().

This is a backwards-breaking update. Old programs WILL NOT RUN on Evaluate v1.0.0. Update your syntax to avoid accidental errors.

This update brings BIDMAS (Order of Operations), Reverse Polish Notation (Postfix format), Console and Blocks.

Docs available at https://itwithlyam.gitbook.io/evaluate/.

New syntax

• { equation syntax }
• newline syntax;

Installation

v0.3.2-beta (whitespace patch)

BETA RELEASE, JOIN DISCORD TO CONTRIBUTE TO FOCUS TESTS

What's Changed

• Fix whitespace by @itwithlyam in #6
• New syntax by @itwithlyam in #7

Fixed the whitespace bugs in the previous release with some regular expressions. Also prepared some new syntax for a future update. In addition, planning to rewrite the interpreter for expressions and better interpreter stuff. Enjoy the binaries!

Full Changelog: v0.3.1-alpha...v0.3.2-alpha

v0.3.1-alpha (blocks update)

What's Changed

• Newlines and Blocks by @itwithlyam in #4
• Add unit testing, Add errors, Update README by @itwithlyam in #5

Quick notice, Evaluate.js is currently EXTREMELY SENSITIVE to whitespace. This will be patched in a future update, but for now please make sure to keep it to a minimum. Also, the new semicolon syntax can be placed anywhere in a program between expressions. This will register a newline no matter where it is, so be wary and keep it at the end of lines in order to not get weird errors.

We also updated the README in this update, so please take a look at it and see the new errors.

Blocks also don't really have any AST meaning, but errors will get thrown when they are misused.

v0.3.0-alpha (Electric vehicle update)

Electric Vehicle Update!

Too Long; Didn't Read:

You really can't have a more clickbait-y title. This update is actually about our new *.ev files.

Too Short; Didn't Read:

The REPL was removed due to it's inefficiency. This shouldn't be a backwards-compatibility issue because... well... why would anyone want to use a REPL? Now you can use *.ev files (node index.js <file>.ev e.g.). Oh yeah, and binaries might come in the next update. Maybe. We'll see.

What's Changed

• Merge to Publish by @itwithlyam in #2
• Removing REPL, some errors, files by @itwithlyam in #3

New Contributors

• I'm lonely
