== All of cobra in one page == The purpose of this page is to see usage by looking at sample code, and have a link to the thorough documentation. SORRY, WORK IN PROGRESS quick jump: {{{ Keywords in Alphabetical Order abstract adds all and any as assert base be body bool branch break callable catch char class const continue cue decimal def do dynamic each else end ensure enum event every except expect extend extern fake false finally float for from get has if ignore implements implies import in inherits inlined inout int interface internal invariant is listen lock mixin must namespace new nil nonvirtual not number objc of off old on or out override par partial pass passthrough post print private pro protected public raise ref require return same set shared sig stop struct success test this throw to to? trace true try uint use using var vari virtual where while yield }}} comments: {{{ # a one line comment /# a multi-line comment multi? yes. #/ }}} {{{ basic structure: very top level keywords are the optional "namespace" and "use" top level keywords are: interface, class, struct, mixin inside interface are: def, pro, get, set inside class are: def, var, pro, get, set, const, test inside def there can be: test, require, ensure, body - or the beginning of code. examples: ... valid keywords inside a method (def): you can have "trace, assert" wherever you want inside a method very useful for debugging are trace and accepts multiple variables assert accepts a boolean, with one expression per line. example: contracts example: def gap(a as uint, b as uint) as uint require 0 <= a <= 1000, 0 <= b <= 1000 # a >= b # enable this line (or change to ints) to fix the definition ensure result <= 1000 body res = a - b # is something wrong with this code? (when b > a, uint handles negatives by going to uint's maxvalue) trace res return res # without contracts you might get surprising values, not knowing why }}} mixin example: {{{ mixin VolumeSupport pro volume from var as int def decVolume .volume = Math.max(0, .volume - 1) def incVolume .volume = Math.min(100, .volume + 1) }}} {{{ class Radio adds VolumeSupport cue init base.init .volume = 0 }}} {{{ class TV adds VolumeSupport cue init base.init .volume = 0 }}} {{{ class Program def main r = Radio() assert r.volume == 0 r.incVolume assert r.volume == 1 }}}
