A-- Programming Language

What is A--

It is a programming language that I made for fun. I originally made it in Python like 3 hours ago at the time I'm writing. It is A-- or AMM and its file extension is .amm.

It was originally written in Python in this repo.

About A--'s project idea

I got it when I was like 12 years old. I always thought that programming languages scanned every character/word in the file/script to find keywords and perform their actions.

So from that I got the idea of A--, I got help from no one, except some ChatGPT.

How does it work

Originally in the Python version, you had to run runner.py in order to run the .amm file. So the goal of this C++ version is to provide a standalone compiler/interpreter to run a .amm file, without installing the actual C++ compiler. So it works by getting the AMM_Compiler (even tho it is an interpreter), then you put it inside a folder. Open CMD in this same folder and then run the interpreter (from CMD) and as a second argument put your .amm file path.

Get Started

Requirements

• The Interpreter.
• A .amm file.

NOTES

• A-- needs semicolons ( ; ) at the end of every line. Also, it doesn't need to be on one line, just go crazy. Just don't forget to put a semicolon.
• To compile the interpreter, sometimes you need to run gcc runner.cpp -lstdc++ -o amm_interpreter.

log

log is a keyword to print text to the console, it is used like this:

log "Put Your Text here";

The text between the double quotes ( " ) is a String. It is a common data type in programming languages.
