The code for this project can be found in this GitHub repository. This project was done under the guidance of Dr. Rupesh Nasre.

Some features of the language:

• Every statement in this language is terminated with a newline.
• All the variables are typed and they have the same type which can be specified at compile time (while compiling to C).
• The bounds used in loop-y statements are all ints.
• A bound variable is valid only within the statement it is used.
• This small language is in turn compiled to C.

You can write four types of statements in this language.

• Assignment statement: This is the usual assignment supported in almost all general programming languages. Example:
  
  

  a = 100
  

• Forall statement: This statement can be used to do an operation on a range of values. Syntax:
  
  

  ∀(bound variable) | bound {
      statements
  }
  

  
  

  One important detail to keep in mind is the newline after the opening bracket. (I had originally planned to enforce indentation and neatness in the syntax which is not completely implemented yet)

  
  Example:
  
  

  ∀(i) | 0<=i<=100 {
      a[i] = i
  }
  

  
  

• Sigma statement: This statement can be used to compute and store the sum of an expression over range of values. Syntax:
  
  

  variable = Σ(expression involving the bound variable) | bound
  

  
  Example:
  
  

  mean = Σ(a[i]/100) | 0<=i<=100
  

  
  

• Product statement: This statement can be used to compute and store the product of an expression over range of values. Syntax:
  
  

  variable = Π(expression involving the bound variable) | bound
  

  
  Example:
  
  

  product = Π(a[i]) | 0<=i<=100
  

  
  

An expression in the above two statements means a combination of any number of variables using +,-,* or /.

A bound is a term that encapsulates the upper and lower limits of the looping variable and only two comparison operators can be used to descibe a bound, < and <= .

The language also supports square-root expressions. So √(expression) is a valid expression.

In all the above statements/expressions, the unicode characters can be replaced with words -
