Description

I suggest adding a page which summarises briefly the language syntax of CoCoA-5 (with link to each detailed page for each single command).

2015-05 proposed solution: /**/ ? All CoCoA commands

History

#1 Updated by John Abbott about 10 years ago

Such a page would be useful for people who already know how to program, and simply want to see the complete syntax all at once.

#2 Updated by Anna Maria Bigatti about 10 years ago

You mean the syntax of all commands in CoCoA?
that's not difficult, but it's going to be huge!

#3 Updated by John Abbott about 10 years ago

Yes, I mean CoCoALanguage commands; no, I don't mean functions!

Possibly a few important functions could be named too (e.g. not)

#4 Updated by Anna Maria Bigatti about 10 years ago

  • Status changed from New to In Progress

You mean something like

/**/  ? Commands and Functions for ideals

That should be easy (kind of copy and paste)

... and together with all the relative syntax?
That is a bit trickier...

#5 Updated by John Abbott about 10 years ago

What I mean is just the keywords and syntax of CoCoA language:
  • Return expr
  • If bool-expr Then cmd EndIf
  • If bool-expr Then cmd Else cmd EndIf
  • If bool-expr Then cmd Elif bool-expr Then cmd EndIf
  • While bool-epxr Do cmd EndWhile

And so on.

#6 Updated by Anna Maria Bigatti about 10 years ago

  • Target version set to CoCoA-5.1.0 Easter14
  • % Done changed from 0 to 10

Added entry "All CoCoA Commands".
It only gives the list of entries with type "command".
Fairly easy to add (still have to check whether all commands are tagged with type "command")

More difficult to add all the syntax entries.

I made some refinements:

/**/  ? All CoCoA commands
--============[ All CoCoA commands ]=============--
This is a (work in progress) complete list of all CoCoA commands:
? break -- break out of a loop
? for -- loop command
? foreach -- loop command
? if -- conditional statement
? repeat -- loop command
? return -- exit from a function
? while -- loop command
--==================<>===================--
