GOLF(2gg)

📦 version 601.4.41, in ubuntu questing

✨ NAME ✨

number-expressions — the Golf documentation, but make it numbers 💅 (yes bestie, we're doing math today)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so a number expression is literally just math, but make it Golf. you get operators: plus (+), minus (-), multiply (*), divide (/) and modulus (%) — and yes you can absolutely use parenthesis (()) to control the vibe check of the order of operations 🧮

for example:

set-number n1 = 10+(4*n2-5)%3

You can use number expressions anywhere a number is expected as an input to any statement. fr fr, anywhere. 👑

🦋 character constants?? iconic

Note that character constants (such as 'A', 'z' etc.) are considered numbers with the value equal to their single-byte ASCII equivalent (i.e. unsigned numbers 0-255), for example this will assign 65 to "num":

set-number num = 'A'

not me turning letters into integers 😭 it's giving glow-up honestly

🎀 subscripted strings are numbers too

Any subscripted string is also considered a number, for instance "num" would be 117 (since 's' is 115):

set-string str = 'some'
set-number num = str[0] + 2

the way that str[0] ate and left no crumbs 🔥

🌈 other number formats, because variety

Other than decimals and character constants, you can also use hexadecimal numbers (such as 0xffaa), and octal numbers (such as 0710). slay 💅
