What is MathScript?

MathScript is a simple, yet powerful, programming language designed with mathematics in mind. It offers a clean and intuitive syntax, making it ideal for:

• Mathematical calculations: Perform complex operations, and work with maths effortlessly.
• Data analysis: Analyze and visualize data, perform statistical calculations, and build data models.
• Algorithm development: Develop algorithms, solve equations, and create simulations.

Features

• Intuitive Syntax: Inspired by mathematical notation, MathScript's syntax feels natural and easy to learn.
• Data Structures: Supports integers, decimals, complex numbers, strings, lists, and functions.
• Control Flow: Includes if, elif, else, for, while, and func statements for structured programming.
• Built-in Functions: Provides a collection of useful built-in functions for mathematical operations, input/output, and more.
• Extensibility: The language is designed to be extensible with user-defined functions.
• Cross-Platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, macOS and other platforms.

Getting Started

1. Install MathScript:
   • From the GitHub release
   • Or fork the repsitory and then build
2. Run a program:

   mathscript <your_program.mscr>

   Or start an interractive shell:

   mathscript

Build

MathScript uses cx_Freeze for building the binaries.

Firstly, you need to install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then you can build the binaries by running the following command:

python setup.py build

This will create a build/ directory containing the binaries for your platform in a subdirectory. The MathScript executable will be in the subdirectory of your platform and will be named mathscript.

Example

Here's a simple MathScript program to calculate the area of a circle:

func circle_area(radius) => pi * radius ^ 2
print(circle_area(5))
