Qu

:"For other uses, see QU"

Qu is a computer programming language with an open-source interpreter written in C by Marc Krisnanto. It is comparable to Python, Ruby, Perl and many others.

The language is semi-dynamic, and optionally strongly typed, with full object orientation. All variables in the language are first class objects.

The design and implementation focuses on compactness and speed, using the [http://www.gnu.org/software/lightning/lightning.html GNU Lightning] Just In Time compiler (JIT).

Examples

# Ackermann

if not (__arg__) # get input; println("Ackermann's function ...") println("Enter a number on the command line!") else NUM = Int(__arg__ [0] ) printf('Ack (3,%d): %d ', NUM, Ack(3, NUM)) end if

sub Ack(m, n) # one way if m = 0 return n + 1 elif n = 0 return Ack(m - 1, 1) else return Ack(m - 1, Ack(m, n - 1));; ;;

# alternate way

sub ackermann (m, n) return m ? (n ? ackermann (m - 1, ackermann (m, n - 1)) : ackermann (m - 1, 1)) : n + 1 ;;
