In this chapter we will see simple demo programs

• Main Menu

Language Shell

We can create simple interactive programming environment using the next program

	while true 
		see nl + "code:> "
		give cCode 
		try
			eval(cCode) 
		catch
			see cCatchError
		done
	end

Output:

	code:> see "hello world"
	hello world
	code:> for x = 1 to 10 see x + nl next
	1
	2
	3
	4
	5
	6
	7
	8
	9
	10

	code:> func test see "Hello from test" + nl

	code:> test()
	Hello from test

	code:> bye

Main Menu

Example:

	# Demo Program

	while true

		see "

		Main Menu
		===========
		[1] Say Hello
		[2] Sum two numbers
		[3] Stars
		[4] Fact
		[5] Exit

		" give nMenu see nl

		# we can use Switch-ON-Other-OFF instead of IF-BUT-ELSE-OK

		if nMenu = 1 sayhello() 
		but nMenu = 2 Sum()
		but nMenu = 3 Stars()
		but nMenu = 4 
			see "Enter Number : " give x
			see "Output : " 

			Try	
				see Fact(number(x))
			Catch
				see "Error in parameters!" + nl
			Done

		but nMenu = "5" return 
		else see "bad option" + nl
		ok

	end

	func sayhello
		see "Enter your name ? " give fname
		see "Hello " + fname + nl

	func sum
		see "number 1 : " give num1 see "number 2 : " give num2
		see "Sum : " see 0 + num1 + num2

	func stars
		for x = 1 to 10
			see space(8)
			for y = 1 to x see "*" next see nl
		next

	func fact x if x = 1 return 1 else return x * fact(x-1) ok

	func space x y = "" for t=1 to x y += " " next return y
