Quickstart

This document is still a work in progress

Install Python 3.6+.

Tulip needs Python to run properly. If you don’t have python installed then go to Python and install the latest version. Once you have Python setup, you need to clone this repository and open a terminal inside the folder. Then you must type:

                        C:\Users\...\Pansy> python shell.py

                      

You should see:

Pansy>

You can exit anytime using the command:

exit

Now you are ready to start! 😀

How to run a Tulip file ?

Let’s imagine you want to run the code that is in the directory: examples/HelloWorld/code.pansy. You just need to use the command:

                        Pansy> run("examples/HelloWorld/code.pansy")

                      

You can also execute your code from outside the Tulip shell:

                        C:\Users\...\Pansy> pansy.py examples/HelloWorld/code.pansy

Comparisons

There are 6 comparisons operators in Tulip. They all have the same priority (which is higher than that of the Boolean operations).

Operation	Meeting
==	Equal
!=	Not equal
<	Strictly less than
>	Strictly greater than
<=	Less than or equal
>=	Greater than or equal

Boolean operators

All the boolean operators have the same priority.

Operation	Result
x or y	if x is false, then y, else x
x and y	if x is false, then x, else y
not x	if x is False, then True, else False
