Hotscript Language Documentation

Hotscript is a simple programming language designed to be easy to learn and use. It supports basic arithmetic operations, variable assignment, and printing.

Getting Started

To write and run Hotscript code, follow these steps:

Write your Hotscript code in a file with a .hs extension.
Run the Hotscript interpreter using the provided Node.js script.

Example:

x = 10
y = 5
z = x + y
print(z)

Save this code in a file named example.hs, and then run it using the Hotscript interpreter:

node hotscript.js example.hs

This will output the result of the arithmetic operation, which is 15.

Syntax

Variables

Variables in Hotscript are dynamically typed and can hold integer values or strings. Variable names can contain letters and numbers, but must start with a letter.

x = 10
name = "John"

Arithmetic Operations

Hotscript supports addition (+) and subtraction (-) operations on integers.

result = 10 + 5

Printing

You can use the print() function to output the value of a variable or expression.

x = 10
y = 5
z = x + y
print(z)

Comments

Single-line comments start with //.

// This is a comment

Error Handling

Hotscript will throw an error if it encounters unexpected tokens or undefined variables.

Example Program

Here's a complete example program that demonstrates the basic features of Hotscript:

// Define variables
x = 10
y = 5
name = "John"

// Perform arithmetic operation
z = x + y

// Construct message
message = "Hello, " + name + "! The sum of x and y is " + z

// Print message
print(message)

Save this code in a file named example.hs, and then run it using the Hotscript interpreter as shown earlier.

Conclusion

Hotscript is a simple yet powerful programming language suitable for beginners and small-scale projects. It provides essential features for arithmetic operations, variable handling, and printing output.
