Night is an interpreted programming language made by DynamicSquid that combines the simplicity of Python with the type concepts of the C family. Its official website is here and the source code is here.

Built-in functions

Right now the only built-in function is print, similar to C's printf. It takes a string as an argument and prints it to the screen (like C, but unlike Python, without a newline).

Types

The types are:

• integers (int)
• floating points (dec)
• booleans (bit)
• characters (syb)
• string (str)

Examples

Here is the example used on the GitHub page (slightly modified): <lang night>print("Hello World!\n");

// this is a comment bit boolean = true; syb character = 'c'; int integer = 10; dec float = 3.14; str string = "squid";

int answer = 10 + 5; answer = 2 + 3; int legs = 10; bit smart = true; if (legs == 10 && smart) {

   print("Hi squid\n");

} else if (legs == 8 && smart) {

   print("Hi octopus\n");

} else if (legs == 2 && !smart) {

   print("Hi human\n");

} else {

   print("Not sure who you are\n");

} int add(int a, int b) {

   print("Adding to numbers:\n");
   return a + b;

}

int number = add(2, 3) + 4; print(number + "\n");</lang> Output: <lang night> Hello world! Hi squid Adding to numbers: 9 </lang>
