Slightly modified example of thesis: Figure 4.4, page 87
The colm language has evolved since it has been described in the thesis. With some modifications we can reactivate this example.
figure_44.lm
Please Note:
-
the syntax is very c-ish
-
the variables are defined with their type
-
there is no postfix increment operator (i = i +1)
That gives us:
hello 0 0 hello 1 1 hello 2 2 hello 8 3 hello 9 4
Real FizzBuzz
The fizzbuzz test is often used to check if someone has programming skills. It is the next logical step to hello world.
fizzbuzz.lm
It appears that there is no modulo operator (%). Therefor we’ll resort to a function. Writing a function seems rather straight forward.
Please note: * that && is working. * The return type is needed, but if nil is returned by default.
That gives us
FizzBuzz 1 2 Fizz 4 Buzz Fizz 7 8 Fizz Buzz 11 Fizz 13 14 FizzBuzz 16 17 Fizz 19
