It is recommended to +have the parser do that conversion automatically. ### operation `(operation {operator: String} )` +Performs a basic operation. + **Parameters:** +* `operator` is the name of the operation. +* `x` is the first operand. +* `y` is the second operand. **Process:** +* Compute `` and ``, the `` corresponding to + `x` and `y`, respectively. +* See the *Notes* below for which operators are expected. +* Return the result of the operation. + +**Notes:** +`val_x` and `val_y` always have the same type. If the returned value is a +number, it has the same type as `val_x` and `val_y`. Number types are +`` and ``. Comparable types are ``, +``, ``, ``, and ``. + +*Operands are numbers, returns number*: +* `divide`, returning the value corresponding to `val_x` divided by `val_y`. + This is an integer division if and only if `val_x` is an integer. +* `minus`, returning the value corresponding to `val_x` minus `val_y`. +* `plus`, returning the value corresponding to `val_x` plus `val_y`. +* `power`, returning the value corresponding to `val_x` to the power `val_y`. +* `times`, returning the value corresponding to `val_x` times `val_y`. + +*Operands are ``s, returns ``:* +* `modulo`, returning the value corresponding to `val_x` modulo `val_y`. + +*Operands are ``s, returns ``:* +* `and`, returning `(BoolValue TRUE)` if both `val_x` and `val_y` are + `(BoolValue TRUE)`, `(BoolValue FALSE)` otherwise.

Be sure to compare values and not identity + (value vs reference). ### relative_address `(relative_address )` +Appends to an address. + **Parameters:** +* `target` is a `` that will yield the base address to extend. +* `extra` is a `` corresponding to the `` element to + add to the address. **Process:** +* Compute the `` corresponding to `target`. +* Compute the `` corresponding to `extra`. +* Return a new `` corresponding to the previous ``, + but with its list of strings now having been extended by the addition of the + string equivalent to that ``. ### size `(size )` +Computes the size of a list. + **Parameters:** +* `target` is a `` that will yield a `` pointing to + a ``. **Process:** +* Compute the `` yielded by `target`. +* Return a new `` corresponding to the number of elements in the + `` pointed to by that ``. ### text `(text {values: List})` +Merges a list of text values into a single one. + **Parameters:** +* `values` is a list of ``s that will yield ``s. **Process:** +* Compute the `` corresponding ot each element of `values`. +* Return a new `` corresponding to these `` appended one + after the next. ### value_of `(value_of )` +Retries the value from memory. + **Parameters:** +* `target` is a `` that will yield the address of the memory + element to get the value of. **Process:** +* Compute the value of `target`. +* Return the `` pointed to by `target` in the ``'s `memory`. ### extra_computation `({extra_computation} {parameters: List})` +Performs non-standard computation. + **Parameters:** +* `extra_computation` is the name of the extra computation. +* `parameters` is a list of parameters for this computation call. **Process:** +* Undetermined. This is where you choose the process according to the value of + `extra_computation` so that you can add non-standard computations. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
