written by me and @polysoulz. lately i have become intersted in the history of computing and it's relation to mathmatics so i decided to learn both. by creating Nox. nox is a programming language written in C, using tools like bison&flex, and has it's own Virtual stack machine. the end goal of NOX is to support linear optimization problems.
(😅im learning as i go, so if there is any misinformation please contact me/pull request, thanks!)
Build Nox
Linux:
install bison & flex & gcc .( you probaly have them installed 😉)
declarations : where you declare your variables. commands : where you write commands like if, while etc.
let
declarations
in
commands
end
note: in the delarations section you don't need ' ; ' but you do need ' . ' after each line.
commands & keywords.
keywords
usage
read
read x;
write
write x;
integer
integer x,n.
while ,do , end
while x > 1 do skip; end;
if,then,fi
if x > 1 then x := 4; fi;
if,then,else,fi
if x > 1 then x:=4; else x := 111;fi;
skip
skips commands after if,else and while
operators.
operators
name
usage
:=
assignment
x := 1;
>
greater than
x > 1
<
less than
x < 1
=
test equality
x = 1
+
summation
x + 5;
-
Subtraction
x - 5;
*
Multiplication
x * 5;
/
Division
x / 2;
^

Fibonacci Series in NOX
let
integer i,n1,n2,n3,numbers.
in
read numbers;
i := 2;
n1 := 0;
n2 := 1;
write n1;
write n2;
while i < numbers
do
n3 := n1 + n2;
write n3;
n1 := n2;
n2 := n3;
i := i +1;
end;
end

NOX syntax
NOX program consists of 2 segments.
declarations : where you declare your variables.
commands : where you write commands like if, while etc.
note: in the delarations section you don't need ' ; ' but you do need ' . ' after each line.

TODO list
✅Add basic language features ( vars, while, if, else etc.)
⬜Add LP solver glpk into compiling pipeline
How long did it take you to learn and create NOX with flex, bison, and the stack machine?
@Elderosa and where can I go to try out NOX?
@Elderosa
sorry for late response, i dont check replit that often.
you can go to https://repl.it/@p0lys0ulz/NOX and try it out.
learning flex and bison is not hard, it took me only one week, with around 3-4 hours a day.
you can find good resources online, some are textbooks from courses in some universities ( those are the best ).
good luck
send me an email if you want any help !
