Ludus prelude documentation
These functions are available in every Ludus script.
The documentation for any function can be found within Ludus by passing the function to doc!,
e.g., running doc! (add) will send the documentation for add to the console.
For more information on the syntax & semantics of the Ludus language, see language.md.
The prelude itself is just a Ludus file, which you can see at prelude.ld.
A few notes
Naming conventions. Functions whose name ends with a question mark, e.g., eq?, return booleans.
Functions whose name ends with an exclamation point, e.g., make!, change state in some way.
In other words, they do things rather than calculating values.
Functions whose name includes a slash either convert from one value to another, e.g. deg/rad,
or they are variations on a function, e.g. div/0 as a variation on div.
How entries are formatted. Each entry has a brief (sometimes too brief!) description of what it does. It is followed by the patterns for each of its function clauses. This should be enough to indicate order of arguments, types, and so on.
Patterns often, but do not always, indicate types. Typed patterns are written as foo as :bar,
where the type is indicated by the keyword.
Possible ludus types are: :nil, :boolean, :number, :keyword (atomic values);
:string (strings are their own beast); :tuple and :list (ordered collections), :sets, and :dictionaries (the other collection types); :pkg (packages, which are quasi-collections); :fn (functions); and :boxes.
Conventional types. Ludus has two types based on conventions.
-
Result tuples. Results are a way of modeling the result of a calculation that might fail. The two possible values are
(:ok, value)and(:err, msg).msgis usually a string describing what went wrong. To work with result tuples, seeunwrap!andunwrap_or. That said, usually you work with these using pattern matching. -
Vectors. Vectors are 2-element tuples of x and y coordinates. The origin is
(0, 0). Many math functions take vectors as well as numbers, e.g.,addandmult. You will see vectors indicated in patterns by an(x, y)tuple. You can see what this looks like in the last clause ofadd:((x1, y1), (x2, y2)).
