Package Exports

thenga-lang
thenga-lang/src/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (thenga-lang) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

📚 Syntax Guide

Variables

ith_aan x = 10;              // Variable declaration
ith_fixed_aan PI = 3.14;     // Constant declaration

Data Types

sheriya                      // true
sheriyalla                   // false
onnum_illa                   // null

Output/Input

para("Hello!");              // Print
chodhik("Your name?");       // Input (returns string)
enthada_ith(x);              // Debug print with type info
kett_paranju("Warning!");    // Warning message

Conditionals

seriyano(x velliya 5) {      // if (x > 5)
    para("Big number");
} allelum(x same_aano 5) {   // else if (x == 5)
    para("Equal to 5");
} allengil {                 // else
    para("Small number");
}

Loops

// For loop - repeat 5 times
repeat_adi(5) {
    para(i);                 // i is auto-available (0 to 4)
}

// While loop
ith_aan count = 0;
odi_repeat_mwone(count cheriya 5) {
    para(count);
    count = count + 1;
}

odaruth_mone;                // break
vitt_kala;                   // continue

Functions

pani greet(name) {           // Function declaration
    thirich_tha("Hello " + name);  // return
}

ith_aan result = greet("Mone");
para(result);

Arrays

ith_aan numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
para(numbers[0]);            // Access element
para(length(numbers));       // Get length

Objects

ith_aan person = {
    name: "Rajesh",
    age: 30
};

para(person.name);           // Access property
person.age = 31;             // Modify property

Math Operations

koottu(a, b)                 // Add
kurakku(a, b)                // Subtract
gunikku(a, b)                 // Multiply
harikku(a, b)                // Divide
random()                     // Random number (0-1)

// Regular operators also work
ith_aan sum = 10 + 5;
ith_aan product = 10 * 5;

String Operations

join_pannuda(arr, sep)       // Join array to string
split_pannuda(str, sep)          // Split string
trim_pannuda(str)              // Trim whitespace
kooti_vekkada(str1, str2)   // Concatenate strings

Comparison Operators

same_aano                    // ==
bilkul_same                  // ===
velliya                      // >
cheriya                      // <
velliyathum_same             // >=
cheriyathum_same             // <=
vendathilla                  // !=

Logical Operators

pinnem                       // &&
allel                        // ||
onnum_venda                  // !

Error Handling

try_cheyth_nokk {
    theri_vili("Error message");  // throw
} pidikk(error) {
    para("Caught: " + error);
} ettavum_avasanam {
    para("Finally block");
}

Special Functions (Movie References!)

nee_po_mone_dinesha(x);      // Delete variable (CID Moosa ref)
adipoli_aan(condition);      // Assert - throws if false
ner_aano_mwone(x);           // Check if truthy
ithenthonn(x);               // typeof
copy_adi(x);                 // Deep copy
aalu_sheri_aano(obj);        // Validate object (not null/empty)
scene_idd(1000);             // Sleep/wait (milliseconds)
chumma_iri_mone;             // Pass/no-op statement

📖 Example Programs

Hello World

para("Enthaada mone!");

Fibonacci Sequence

pani fibonacci(n) {
    seriyano(n cheriyathum_same 1) {
        thirich_tha(0);
    }
    seriyano(n same_aano 2) {
        thirich_tha(1);
    }
    thirich_tha(fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2));
}

repeat_adi(10) {
    para("F(" + i + ") = " + fibonacci(i + 1));
}

Prime Number Checker

pani is_prime(n) {
    seriyano(n cheriyathum_same 2) {
        thirich_tha(sheriyalla);
    }
    
    ith_aan i = 2;
    odi_repeat_mwone(i cheriya n) {
        seriyano((n % i) same_aano 0) {
            thirich_tha(sheriyalla);
        }
        i = i + 1;
    }
    
    thirich_tha(sheriya);
}

para(is_prime(17));  // sheriya
