# Strath - The String Math Language
## What is it?
Strath is an esolang that has a cryptic syntax and allows you to do math with strings, add them, multiply them, and even multiply with floats!

Rust developers hate it, Python developers fear it, and C developers make it blink.

## How to Strath
### Comments
2021-12-16 11:28:24 +00:00
; all text after a semicolon will be treated as a comment
&& all text after a double and will be treated as a comment
]][[ an inline command, all text between the double square brackets will be treated as a comment
`\`´´ this makes a multiline comment

### If, else if/elif, else
2021-12-16 11:28:24 +00:00
¿??/condition\\? | () - if
?>/condition\\? | () - elif/else if
\>?/condition\\? | () - else
After ?? and ?> either a $ or € to declare if all conditions are to be true or false respectivly
Two variables will be compared by an if statment without "==" eg ¿??$/1 1\\? | () compares if 1 == 1 and if that result needs to be true to run the code in between the two round brackets

### Variable Types
2021-12-16 11:28:24 +00:00
}}type{{ uses the standard types like int, str, float, etc
Certain types have short declarations
ö declares ints
Ö declares floats
ä declares char
Ä declares string
ü declares list
Ü declares dict
wavey brackets aren't needed in this case
#### Working With Variables
Variables are declared by defining the type, the name, and the value (optional) eg:
}}int{{ i < 1;
}int{ i < 1; A single wavy bracket allows the type of the var to change dynamicly
Special behaviour:
j > i will copy i to j and drops i
j < i will copy i to j and maintain i
### In-build functions
<= will output a value
=> takes an input and sets the next variable to it as the input
