Zijkhal: Update to Contains

{{Otherlang2
|ru=Фишки YOLOL
|ua=Особливості YOLOL
}}

[[YOLOL]] is a rather constrained language. The line and chip length limits and slow execution speed incentivize clever shortcuts. The small math library and limited operation space require building larger operations from smaller building blocks. To those ends, this page serves to catalog a variety of things you can accomplish with YOLOL that might not be obvious from the main [YOLOL] documentation.

|-
| Pop || '''string---string''' || Evaluates to the last character in '''string''' and removes that character, "abcd" becomes "abc" while evaluating to "d"
|-
| If Empty || '''string-(string+otherstring)''' || If '''otherstring''' is empty then this evaluates to an empty string, else it evaluates to '''string'''
|-
| Select || '''a="foo1" b="bar2" c="meh3" x=2 s=a+b+c-x-a-b-c s=="bar"''' || One string from a set can be selected by concatenating them with indices, then removing an index, then removing all the strings which will fail for the un-indexed one. If one index is a substring of another then the order of the strings will matter.
|-
| Contains || '''s="~meh~foo~bar~" t="foo" c=s!=s-("~"+t+"~")''' || Evaluates to 1 if '''t''' is present in test set '''s''', and 0 if not Alternatively, if the values in the string to test ('''s''') are arranged in alphabetically descending order, '''s>s-("~"+t+"~")''' can also be used. For non-distinct values, (for example searching for '''"tin"''' in the string '''"non-distinct values"''') the delimiter ('''"~"''') can be omitted. Depending on the values that can occur in '''s''' and '''t''', some or all of the delimiters ('''"~"''') can be omitted, or changed into other values, such as numbers.

! Nickname !! Code !! Explanation
|-
| Not || '''0^b''' '''1-b''' '''b==0''' || Used to negate a '''0''' or '''1''' value. '''0^b''': Does not need parenthesis when used in a multiplication. Works any non-negative input value, not only '''0''' and '''1'''. Requires an Advanced or Professional chip '''1-b''': Works '''only''' with '''0''' and '''1'''. Works on all chips. '''b==0''': Works with all input values, not only '''0''' and '''1'''. Works on all chips.
|-
| Select || '''a+(b-a)*s''' '''a*0^s+b*s''' || Select one of '''a''' or '''b''' based on a '''0''' or '''1''', '''s''' select signal. Equivalent to '''if s then result=b else result=a end'''

If you want to develop readable code and only shorten it for deployment, consider using [https://github.com/dbaumgarten/yodk yodk] or [https://github.com/martindevans/Yolol Yololc] which can minify your code for you.

Shortening identifiers to one character saves bytes, use '''f=b''' rather than '''foo=bar'''.

Reassigning fields to identifiers saves bytes if you use them more than a few times. '''f=:f f f f f f f f f''' is shorter than ''':f :f :f :f :f :f :f :f '''.

Most whitespace is optional. You only actually need a space when code would be ambiguous without it. Spaces can almost always be omitted before ''':''', after '''if''' or '''then''' or '''end''', between a number or symbol and a letter, and in various other places.

If you want to develop readable code and only shorten it for deployment, consider using [https://github.com/dbaumgarten/yodk yodk] or [https://github.com/martindevans/Yolol Yololc] which can minify your code for you.

Shortening identifiers to one character saves bytes, use '''f=b''' rather than '''foo=bar'''.

Reassigning fields to identifiers saves bytes if you use them more than a few times. '''f=:f f f f f f f f f''' is shorter than ''':f :f :f :f :f :f :f :f '''.

Most whitespace is optional. You only actually need a space when code would be ambiguous without it. Spaces can almost always be omitted before ''':''', after '''if''' or '''then''' or '''end''', between a number or symbol and a letter, and in various other places.

== Summary ==
 
 
[[File:Laser weapon.png|400px]]
 
 
Laser cannons are mounted energy weapons that are generally used in warfare to take out fast and agile spaceships.

''Basics''
* Rate of fire: Very fast
* Spread: Minimal
* Projectile speed: Fast
* Ammunition type: Energy cell. Feeds from reactor or external power source.

== Ship usage ==

Laser weapons can be found on following ships either by default, or as a variant:
* [[Spatha|Spatha]]
* [[Knight|Knight]]
