Dropped some comments.
Heyo guyz happens simple-lang cannot handle really large numbers, that problem is solvable by making the numbers into string array and perform mathematical operation on it. I am experimenting the implementation using simple-lang itself after all successfull operation then it can be moved to the C source for faster operation.
You can test https://github.com/Thecarisma/simple/blob/master/examples/basic/misc.sim which is able to add infinite string numbers successfully

That's a nice idea but my be slow and maybe not cool for production. Because we definitely have to be doing conversion each time we've gotta add large numbers.
That is how other lang do it python, java, ruby e.t.c there is no data type that can hold really large number except string. Talking of speed I ll make it into a c lib and use in simple-lang it ll be faster then, there are also ways to make the operation faster by using the best arithmethic method such as the karatsuba for multiplication and the classic carryover for addition.
yet to be pushed
I think this should be proposed as an RFC. I'll set up the rfc rn
So, I have made the first issue in the rfc - Let's discuss the changes to be done in simple more on the RFC. Here, simple-lang/rfcs#1
So i was thinking adding more functionalities to the simple extension for vscode
Like maybe identification - like it's a function, callback etc
We'll see.
Hello everyone simple-lang now support variadic function that can take unlimited amount of parameters which will result in the variadic keyword be a list that hold the parameters e.g the current keyword used is
params having a parameter params means unlimited argument e.gtestBlock(1)
testBlock("a string")
tesBlock([1,2],"desperado","inverse",45,87,97,new Directory("../"), [9,3,3])
block testBlock(params)
@leghtOf(params)
a more simple example
testBlock("Hello", "World", 40)
block testBlock(params)
@params[0] #Hello
@params[1] #World
@params[2] #40
the keyword will be a secondary keyword i.e it can still be used in the code as variable name class name like any other varible unlike primary keywords like block, class
using ellipsis
... will take more scanning time as it will be added to keyword.
I ll try using the
... and give you guyz feedback
Hello guyz. Implementing the ... i hit a wall the ... is only usable in language that has type specifier e.g String str = "" but in simple lang it str = "" so the ... is not possible e.g in a block we have
block test(p1,p2,p3)Using ... as variadic parameter
test(1,2,4,5)
block test(p1,p2,...)
@...[0] #a big lang breaking erroror we go with C Style that will just bring a foreign identifier to fix that
test(1,2,4,5)
block test(p1,p2,...)
@var_args[0]Using the ... is only acceptable for strongly types language e.g java
public void functionOne(String... strings)
System.out.println(strings[0])
