Binlang

Esoteric programming language using the building blocks and and not. A project inspired by Sebastian Lague's video.

How To Run

If you're in IntelliJ, make a configuration with arguments as C:/path/to/file.bin
If you use a jar it's java -jar --enable-preview C:/path/to/Binlang.jar C:/path/to/file.bin

Syntax

Built-in Identifiers

Some built-in identifiers are included:

and checks if both values are 1, and will return 1 for yes and 0 for no. not will invert the bit. 0 = 1, 1 = 0.

0 and 1; // 0
0 not; // 1

#def will let you define custom symbols (functions) that will run similar to others. E.g., 0 nand b or 0 something. The last value that is emitted will be returned.
The symbol can take in 1 or 2 arguments with syntax #def symbol a {} and #def symbol a, b {}

#def nand a, b {}

#prn will print a value to the console.
#pnl will print a value to the console & include a new line.
#pnc will print out a characters from binary.

#prn 0;
#pnl 1;
#pnc [[1;0;0;1;0;0;0;][1;1;0;1;0;0;1;]] // Hi

#set will set a variable. Variables must be all alphabetical.

#set a = 0;

#con will check if a number is 1.

#set a = 1;
#con a {
    #pnc [[1;1;1;1;0;0;1;][1;1;0;0;1;0;1;][1;1;1;0;0;1;1;]]; // yes
} {
    #pnc [[1;1;0;1;1;1;0;][1;1;0;1;1;1;1;]] // no
}

Values

Numbers

Valid numbers are 0 and 1 excluding the index value when reading from arrays.

#prn 0
#prn 1

Arrays

Arrays can be formed with square brackets.
A semicolon must separate all values (excluding arrays), and this includes the last one.
You can get values from an array with arr[index;] -- this is the exception in which you can use numbers above 1.
You cannot use arr[index;] in an operation, and must assign it to a variable first.
Note: You shouldn't place a semicolon after an array.

#set arr = [0;1;a;b;c;]
#set valA = arr[0;]; // 0

Comments

Comments are made with 2 slashes.

#set a = 0; // this code so bad fr
