Using the Interpreter

DSAK is built on top of a custom Python interpeter, so it functions exactly like a standard interpreter. Here are a few examples:


Hello World

⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$ print('Hello, world!')
Hello, world!


Boolean Operations

⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$ value = False
⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$ bool(value)
False


Making a Function

⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$ def hello():
⎹⎼⎼⎼\⎼⎸[...]*   print('Hello, World!')
⎹⎼⎼⎼\⎼⎸[...]* 
⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$ hello()
Hello, World!
⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$


Basic Math

⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$ result = 2+2
⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$ print('2 plus 2 is',result,'quick maths')
2 plus 2 is 4 quick maths
⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$



Using Commands

DSAK is filled to the brim with useful commands you can find in your shell. You can even add your own! Here are some of the essential commands and their usage examples:

ls

Description: Command that allows you to view files in a directory

Command(s) that do the same thing: dir

Usage Examples:

⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$ ls()
⎹  🗁  ⎸Contents of directory /home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife:

⎹\⎺⎺⎺⎺⎸[/home/boba/coding-projects/DSAK/DigitalSwissArmyKnife]
⎹⎻\⎻⎻⎻⎸[boba@alpha]
⎹⎼⎼\⎼⎼⎸[>>>]$ ls('-l')
