Packages
NAME
packages - Introduction to packages in Sncode.
DESCRIPTION
A package is a container that may be used to group a set of related symbols (functions, constants, classes) together.
Create a package
Package declaration must begin with the keyword package, followed by its name, and must end with the keyword endp.
Package names can contain either letters [a-zA-Z], numbers [0-9] or _ but cannot begin with a number. It is recommended to avoid numbers and use the UpperCamelCase convention to name your packages.
For instance:
package Exemple
e = "!";
function hello()
return "Hello ";
endf
function world()
return " World";
endf
endp
Use a package
In order to use a package that is in another file, you have to import it using the %include method:
%include "/path/to/your/package/exemple.sn";
Note: The file should be named the same as your package, but in lower case.
To call a function defined in a package, you have to use the operator :: between the package name and the function name:
a = Exemple::hello() .+ Exemple::world() .+ Exemple::e;
EXAMPLES
Calling a symbol (variable or function) from the same package :
package A
function f1()
return "f1";
endf
function f2()
return A::f1() .+ ", f2";
endf
endp
