Algae (programming language)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Algae programming language)
In computing, the algae programming language is an interpreted programming language for numerical analysis, a branch of mathematics. Its interpreter is available under GPL. The language was designed by Scott Hunziker and Mike Brennan.
Examples follow [1]:
# Print temperature conversions
fahr = sort (0:300:20, 32, 212);
Celsius = (5/9)*(fahr-32);
[fahr;Celsius]'?
# Read and sum some numbers
sum = 0;
$read = 1;
while ($read) { sum += readnum(); }
sum?
[edit] Advantages of Algae
- Algae is a very fast language
- Variables take up very little memory
[edit] The algae interpreter
The CLI interpreter for algae is licensed under the GPL. It is compatible with Unix-based operating systems. It was not yet ported to another operating system such as Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh.
