# This file is for playing with syntax and seeing what works and what does not.


## TEST 1 - newlines seperate statements, not ;
## newlines can be escaped with \

/; test1
    int main = 0

    /; loop (int i = 0, i < 5) [i++]
        tnsl.io.println("Hi!")
    ;/

    String str = {}

    /; loop (char j = ' ', j != 'k') \
            [j++]
        
        str.append(j)
    ;/

    tnsl.io.println(str)

    return main
;/

## END TEST 1
##
## Thoughts: this is much better.

## TEST 2 - get '.' augment auto de-references pointers

struct a {
    int i, j
}

struct b {
    String str,
    ~a ints
}

/; ptr_test1 
    b str_b = {"Hello", {0, 1}}
    
    ~b ptr_b = ~str_b

    tnsl.io.println(ptr_b.str)
    # vs
    tnsl.io.println(ptr_b`.str)
    # both work

    ptr_b.ints.i = 12
    ptr_b.ints.j = ptr_b.ints.i / 4
    # vs
    ptr_b`.ints`.i = 12
    ptr_b`.ints`.j = ptr_b`.ints`.i / 4
    # Again, the second one is more descriptive, but is it better?

    ptr_call(ptr_b)
    ref_call(ptr_b)
;/

/; ptr_call (~b ptr)
    ptr.ints.i = 8
;/

/; ref_call (b` ref)
    ref.ints.j = 9
;/

## END TEST 2
##
## Thoughts: not sure, the . operator could become a little too ambiguous if this is added

## Test 3: using [] for array indexing instead of {}

:include "tnsl"
:using "tnsl"

/; main ({}String args) [int]
    int i = len args
    String first = args[0]

    {}int list = {0, 1, 2, 3}
    i = list[2]

    return i
;/

## End test 3
##
## Thoughts: I'm not sure weather I like it better or not.
