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

; 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

¿??/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

}}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
