YOLOL

Summary

YOLOL is the programming language used to control and manage electric devices.
The code is written on lines in chips which are then inserted to chip sockets, that read and relay their messages.
With YOLOL, it's possible to program and control almost any device within the known universe.

Basic information

How it works?

YOLOL code is written to and executed from YOLOL chips, and can be used to monitor and control electrical devices connected to the data network the chip is connected to.
Lines of code are executed in sequence from top to bottom, repeating the cycle of the chip after the last line has been executed, unless the script includes instructions for specific line changes, or stopping code completely.

To put it simply:

1. Code execution starts from line 1
2. After reading line 1, it proceeds to the next line based on the chip time interval
3. The process is repeated
4. If there are no special cases, the chip will begin executing line 1 again after the last line has been executed

Command references

Case insensitive

YOLOL is fully case insensitive.
This means that the following two example scripts function identically to each other:

if ButtonState == 1 then DoorState = 1 end

IF buttonstate == 1 THEN doorstate = 1 END

The characters can however be written in either lowercase or uppercase letters.
This way it's possible to have your YOLOL code look a bit more organized.

Variables

The variables in YOLOL are weakly typed (don't enforce type validity), and support two data types: fixed-point decimals(up to 0.001 precision) and strings.
To put it simply, the variables can either be introduced as strings or numbers at any point, ignoring the earlier variable type.
Each variable is always of a single type, though it will be implicitly converted when required.
The default value of an uninitialized variable is 0, and nil values are not supported.
True/False are numerical values of non-0 and 0.

Assigning a value to a variable always converts the variable to the value's type.

Example:

ultimateAutopilot = 128.6432

This results in the variable ultimateAutopilot containing a numeric value of 128.6432

ultimateAutopilot = "Error prone"

This results in the variable ultimateAutopilot to be a string variable "Error prone", and numeric value of 128.6432 is removed.

Decimals

Numeric values in YOLOL are 64-bit integers.
The variables hold decimal numbers up to four decimal accuracy

pieVariable = 3.1415

The above script assigns a numeric value of 3.1415 to the variable pieVariable.

Supplying more precise values than the variables can store works, but doesn't affect the end result.

notPieVariable = 0.5772156649

The above script assigns a numeric value of 0.5772 to the variable notPieVariable.

Strings

To specify a string literal in YOLOL, the desired string value must be surrounded with double quotation marks.

stringStorage= "saltberia" 

This script assigns the string value of "saltberia" to the variable stringStorage.
