Interactive programming

From Rosetta Code
(Redirected from Read-eval-print loop)
Task
Interactive programming
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Many language implementations come with an interactive mode.

This is a command-line interpreter that reads lines from the user and evaluates these lines as statements or expressions.

An interactive mode may also be known as a command mode,   a read-eval-print loop (REPL),   or a shell.


Task

Show how to start this mode.

Then, as a small example of its use, interactively create a function of two strings and a separator that returns the strings separated by two concatenated instances of the separator   (the 3rd argument).


Example
             f('Rosetta',  'Code',  ':')

should return 

             'Rosetta::Code'


Note

This task is   not   about creating your own interactive mode.

8th[edit]

8th (like all Forth derivatives) has a built-in interpreter loop. All you need to do to access it is to start 8th: 

 $ 8th
8th 1.0.2 Linux 64 (f1b7a8c2)
ok>

At the "ok> " prompt type in what you want: 

ok> : f 2 s:* swap s:+ s:+ ;
ok> "Rosetta" "Code" ":" f . cr
Rosetta::Code
ok>

BASIC[edit]

Works with: SAM BASIC

This was tested with SAM BASIC, but it should work with most Basic interpreters.

A Basic interpreter is in command mode by default. Enter the following in command mode: 

10 DEF FN f$(a$, b$, s$) = a$+s$+s$+b$
PRINT FN f$("Rosetta", "Code", ":")

Batch File[edit]

CMD.EXE is the CLI for Batch Files. Batch Files do not have traditional functions and doing the alternative will not work in interactive mode. So this example uses blocks of code.

Translation of: BBC BASIC
>set r=Rosetta
 
>set c=Code
 
>set s=:
 
>echo %r%%s%%s%%c%
Rosetta::Code
 
>

BBC BASIC[edit]

Works with: BBC BASIC for Windows

Interactive mode is entered by clicking on the 'Immediate' toolbar button or selecting Immediate from the Run menu. Functions cannot be defined in immediate mode so the example below uses inline code: 

>r$ = "Rosetta"
>c$ = "Code"
>s$ = ":"
>PRINT r$+s$+s$+c$
Rosetta::Code
>

bc[edit]

bc has no string operations, so I will instead show how to use hexadecimal numbers such that f(205E77A, C0DE, 1) returns 205E77A11C0DE.

Step 1. I start the interactive interpreter, switch from base 10 to base 16, and check that 1000 - 2 is FFE, not 998. My bc has no prompt, so I will use »bold text to show where I typed my input. 

$ »bc
»obase = ibase = 16
»1000 - 2
FFE

Step 2. I define a helper function d() to count the number of digits in a number. I check that d() works for positive numbers. 

»define d(a) {
»  auto r
»  r = 0
»  while (a != 0) {
»    r += 1
»    a /= 10
»  }
»  return (r)
»}
»d(4)
1
»d(5A)
2
»d(67B)
3

Step 3. I define f() and call it. 

»define f(a, b, c) {
»  auto d, e, f       
»  d = d(b)
»  e = d + d(c)
»  f = e + d(c)
»  return (a * 10 ^ f + c * 10 ^ e + c * 10 ^ d + b)
»}
»f(205E77A, C0DE, 1)
205E77A11C0DE

Step 4. I quit. (Control-D also works.) 

»quit
$

Bracmat[edit]

Running Bracmat without arguments starts the program in interactive mode. The prompt is {?}. After evaluation, Bracmat prints {!} followed by the result. Input can extend over multiple lines, but is terminated by a new line if all parentheses are balanced (() or {}) and any string introduced with " also is closed with ". The number of needed closing parentheses is indicated at the start of a new input line. Provided the file help is in the current working directory, the user can get interactive help by entering get$help. The program is closed by entering an extra closing parenthesis, followed by a confirming y.

[Function]
coffee> f "Rosetta", "Code", ":"
"Rosetta::Code"
 

Common Lisp[edit]

The details of interactive use vary widely between implementations; this example is from SBCL. * is the prompt. By default, SBCL compiles (not interprets) all code, unless sb-ext:*evaluator-mode* is changed. 

$ rlwrap sbcl
This is SBCL 1.0.25, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.
...
* (defun f (string-1 string-2 separator)
    (concatenate 'string string-1 separator separator string-2))
 
F
* (f "Rosetta" "Code" ":")
 
"Rosetta::Code"
*

Déjà Vu[edit]

The interactive interpreter provides . as a shortcut for !. and ; as a shortcut for !(print-stack). 

$ vu
<1:1> f str1 str2 sep:
<1:2>     join sep [ str2 "" str1 ]
<1:3> 
<2:1> . f "Rosetta" "Code" ":"
"Rosetta::Code"

E[edit]

$ rune   # from an OS shell. On Windows there is also a desktop shortcut.

"?" and ">" are prompts for input; "#" marks output. 

? def f(string1 :String, string2 :String, separator :String) {
>     return separator.rjoin(string1, "", string2)
> }
# value: <f>
 
? f("Rosetta", "Code", ":")
# value: "Rosetta::Code"

If you type a definitely incomplete expression, such as "def f() {", then it gives an ">" prompt and takes additional lines. If the expression is not necessarily incomplete, you can continue anyway by ending a line with "\".

EchoLisp[edit]

EchoLisp runs in a browser window, and is -par essence - interactive. To start the REPL mode, type http://www.echolalie.org/echolisp in the browser URL address field. 

 
;; screen copy of the REPL
;; note that the &i variables remember expression evaluation, and may be used in other expressions

Elixir[edit]

Elixir's Interactive REPL is IEx, Interactive Elixir. To open IEx, open a shell and type: iex
The 'def' keyword isn't allowed outside of modules in Elixir, so the easiest way to write a function in iex is usually by writing an anonymous function. 

iex(1)> f = fn str1,str2,sep -> [str1,"",str2] |> Enum.join(sep) end # Join list on separator
iex(2)> g = fn str1,str2,sep -> str1 <> sep <> sep <> str2 end       # Or concatenate strings
 
iex(3)> defmodule JoinStrings do
...(3)>   def f(str1,str2,sep), do: [str1,"",str2] |> Enum.join(sep)
...(3)>   def g(str1,str2,sep), do: str1 <> sep <> sep <> str2
...(3)> end

Example: 

iex(4)> f.("Rosetta","Code",":")
"Rosetta::Code"
iex(5)> JoinStrings.f("Rosetta","Code",":")
"Rosetta::Code"

Emacs Lisp[edit]

Emacs opens a *scratch* buffer by default. This buffer is in Lisp Interaction mode; C-j evaluates the Lisp expression before point, and prints the result.

Switch to the buffer (C-x b *scratch*, or use the Buffers menu), type some Lisp expressions, and press C-j after each expression. 

(defun my-join (str1 str2 sep)
  (concat str1 sep sep str2))
my-join
(my-join "Rosetta" "Code" ":")
"Rosetta::Code"

Emacs also provides ielm, the interactive Emacs Lisp mode. Start it with M-x ielm, type some expressions and press RET. 

*** Welcome to IELM ***  Type (describe-mode) for help.
ELISP> (defun my-join (str1 str2 sep)
	 (concat str1 sep sep str2))
my-join
ELISP> (my-join "Rosetta" "Code" ":")
"Rosetta::Code"
ELISP>

Erlang[edit]

$erl
1> F = fun(X,Y,Z) -> string:concat(string:concat(X,Z),string:concat(Z,Y)) end.
#Fun<erl_eval.18.105910772>
2> F("Rosetta", "Code", ":").
"Rosetta::Code"
 

ERRE[edit]

ERRE hasn't no interactive mode. You can only execute the R-Code Interpreter in this way: from main menu do Utilità --> Dos Shell and then from command prompt RCODE <Enter> and then type this 

 r$="Rosetta"
 Ok   <--- from interpreter
 c$="Code"
 Ok   <--- from interpreter
 s$="-"
 Ok   <--- from interpreter
 PRINT r$+s$+c$
 Rosetta-Code
 Ok   <--- from interpreter

Type 

system

to return to command prompt.

Factor[edit]

Factor comes with a graphical interpreter called the listener. The listener can also be run in a console with the following command: 

./factor -run=listener

( scratchpad ) : cool-func ( w1 w2 sep -- res ) dup append glue ;
( scratchpad ) "Rosetta" "Code" ":" cool-func .
"Rosetta::Code"

Fantom[edit]

Fantom comes with a command-line interpreter called 'fansh' 

$ fansh
Fantom Shell v1.0.57 ('?' for help)
fansh> f := |Str a, Str b, Str c -> Str| {"$a$c$c$b"}
|sys::Str,sys::Str,sys::Str->sys::Str|
fansh> f("Rosetta", "Code", ":")
Rosetta::Code

Forth[edit]

Works with: GNU Forth

All Forth systems come with an interpreter. On embedded systems, the interpreter functions as a monitor or lightweight operating system. 

$ gforth

FreeBASIC[edit]

FreeBASIC is a compiler rather than an interpreter and doesn't have an interactive mode as such.

However, as simple programs can be written in a few lines and compile and execute very quickly, I think it's fair to say that the lack of an interpreter is not considered much of a drawback by most FB developers.

For example, the current task can be coded as follows and compiles/runs instantly : 

' FB 1.05.0 Win64
 
Dim As String s1, s2, sep
Input "First string  "; s1
Input "Second string "; s2
Input "Separator     "; sep
Print : Print  s1 + sep + sep + s2
Sleep
Output:
First string  ? Rosetta
Second string ? Code
Separator     ? :

Rosetta::Code

F#[edit]

The F# interpreter is called fsi. As F# accepts multi-line input it will not evaluate the input until you enter two semi-colons together.

Go[edit]

To satisfy some of the desire for a REPL, Go includes a browser-based "playground" that compiles and executes directly from a browser edit box. You still have to type complete programs with all the usual boilerplate, but at least you don't have to create a source file, run the compiler, run the linker, and run the program. It has a convenient checkbox for "compile and run after each keystroke" that works quite well. You just type, and as soon as your program is valid, you see output.

Running goplay takes two steps. First, start the program with "goplay" on the command line, then visit http://localhost:3999/ with a browser.

The complete program satisfying the task is, 

package main
 
import "fmt"
 
func f(s1, s2, sep string) string {
	return s1 + sep + sep + s2
}
 
func main() {
	fmt.Println(f("Rosetta", "Code", ":"))
}

It works well to enter the program, check "every keystroke" to see syntax errors from whatever silly oversights you made, then fix them one by one until your desired output appears.

Groovy[edit]

The groovysh interpreter requires a command-line interpreter (terminal) environment in which to run. This example was run under the CMD command-line interpreter on Microsoft Windows XP.

Io> writeln("I am going to exit now")
I am going to exit now

$

The function could have been written on one line but I wanted to show multi-line input with the continuation prompt .... The result of the expression that is entered appears after ==> and any output or error message appears before.

J[edit]

J runs in command mode by default. Starting J depends on your operating system and other factors, but typically would involve double clicking on an icon, or starting one of several programs from a command line (j, jwd, jconsole, jee, jhs -- though note that jhs would also require a web browser and visiting a localhost URL).

This is a session log once the os specific stuff has been handled:

   f 'Rosetta';'Code';':'

Welcome to Kotlin version 1.0.6-release-127 (JRE 1.8.0_31-b13)
Type :help for help, :quit for quit
>>> fun f(s1: String, s2: String, sep: String) = s1 + sep + sep + s2
>>> f("Rosetta", "Code", ":")
Rosetta::Code
>>> :quit

Lasso[edit]

#!/usr/bin/lasso9
 
// filename: interactive_demo
 
define concatenate_with_delimiter(
	string1::string,
	string2::string,
	delimiter::string
 
) => #string1 + (#delimiter*2) + #string2
 
define read_input(prompt::string) => {
 
	local(string)
 
	// display prompt
	stdout(#prompt)
	// the following bits wait until the terminal gives you back a line of input
	while(not #string or #string -> size == 0) => {
		#string = file_stdin -> readsomebytes(1024, 1000)
	}
	#string -> replace(bytes('\n'), bytes(''))
 
	return #string -> asstring
}
 
local(
	string1,
	string2,
	delimiter
)
 
// get first string
#string1 = read_input('Enter the first string: ')
 
// get second string
#string2 = read_input('Enter the second string: ')
 
// get delimiter
#delimiter = read_input('Enter the delimiter: ')
 
// deliver the result
stdoutnl(concatenate_with_delimiter(#string1, #string2, #delimiter))

Called from the command line: ./interactive_demo

Result -> Rosetta::Code

Lingo[edit]

Lingo/Director is usually started as GUI program and has no access to the standard system console (unless using a binary plugin). But it has its own interactive Lingo console called "Message Window", that can be activated/displayed by executing "_player.debugPlaybackEnabled=1". Using this Message Window, the task can be solved like this: 

> m=new(#script)
> m.scripttext="on conc(a,b,c)"&RETURN&"return a&c&c&b"&RETURN&"end"
> put conc("Rosetta", "Code", ":")
-- "Rosetta::Code"

M2000 Interpreter[edit]

M2000 run through an environment (the M2000 Environment), and this can run a script by using command line arguments, or run in interactive mode, just opening the environment, in full screen.

To exit interactive mode just type END and press enter after prompt >, Old commands are back again using arrows up or down. We can open editor for these commands (internal editor has syntax color).

Command line has a some special commands (we need to use Set to send command to this line, from a program), to change many things. Type Help All to see help for all topics, or type Help Print to see help for Print.

We an use ? as a Print command. Any variable, array, module, function, group we make at command line is global.

We can make functions using edit, so edit f$() open editor and we write these 

>edit f$()

(we see Function F$() at the header of editor) 

 
Read name1$, name2$, sep$
=name1$+sep$+sep$+name2$
 

So now we press Esc and return to command line (editor open as a layer, so console has the last state). Using Clipboard we sen unicode string to clipboard 

>? f$("Rosseta","Code",":")
Rosseta::Code
>clipboard f$("Rosseta","Code",":")
>New  ' now we clear any stored function/module
>function f$(a$,b$,c$) {=a$+c$+c$+b$}    'in one line function
>? f$("Rosseta","Code",":")
Rosseta::Code
>Save ros1
>New
>Load ros1
>? f$("Rosseta","Code",":")
Rosseta::Code
>New
>f$=Lambda$ (a$,b$,c$)->a$+c$+c$+b$
>? f$("Rosseta","Code",":")
Rosseta::Code
>B$=F$  ' lambda functions as variables.
>? B$("Rosseta","Code",":")
Rosseta::Code


M4[edit]

Here is a terminal session with output lines marked by "==>": 

$ m4
define(`f',`$1`'$3`'$3`'$2')
==>
f(`Rosetta',`Code',`:')
==>Rosetta::Code
m4exit


Maple[edit]

Start Maple's commandline interface by issuing the command maple in a terminal shell. Ie, 

$ maple

Then enter the Maple commands. 

f := (a,b,c)->cat(a,c,c,b):
 
f("Rosetta","Code",":");

Output: 

                        "Rosetta::Code"

Mathematica / Wolfram Language[edit]

$ math
f[x_,y_,z_]:=Print[x,z,z,y]
->""
f["Rosetta","Code",":"]
->Rosetta::Code

MATLAB / Octave[edit]

(Has been tested only with MATLAB)

Define an anonymous function in the Command Window 

 
>> f = @(str1, str2, delim) [str1, delim, delim, str2];
 
Call of function and
Output:
>> f('Rosetta', 'Code', ':')

ans =

Rosetta::Code

Maxima[edit]

Simply run wxMaxima, xMaxima (or simply maxima in a Linux or Windows command line) to start a REPL. 

(%i1) f(a, b, c) := sconcat(a, c, c, b)$
(%i2) f("Rosetta", "Code", ":");
(%o2) "Rosetta::Code"

ML/I[edit]

The following is exactly what should be fed to ML/I to start a suitable interactive session. Start ML/I with (e.g.: $ ml1), then type: 

MCSKIP MT,<>
MCINS %.
MCDEF F WITHS (,,)
AS <%WA1.%WA3.%WA2.%WA2.>

Nim[edit]

Use nimble (Nim's package manager) to install a REPL (nrpl or tnim)

Run the REPL and paste the following code 

proc f(x, y, z: string) = echo x & z & z & y
f("Rosetta", "Code", ":")

which outputs 

Rosetta::Code

To get working arrow keys, compile nim with readline, like this: ./koch boot -d:release -d:useGnuReadline or just run rlwrap nim i instead.

OCaml[edit]

The default interactive interpreter is called the toplevel. In the toplevel because we can enter expressions that span multiple lines, we have to type the double semicolon (";;") at the end of an expression so that it knows we are done. 

$ ocaml
        Objective Caml version 3.12.1
 
# let f s1 s2 sep = String.concat sep [s1; ""; s2];;
val f : string -> string -> string -> string = <fun>
# f "Rosetta" "Code" ":";;
- : string = "Rosetta::Code"
#

Also a lot of OCaml users invoke the toplevel with rlwrap or ledit to gain readline capabilities: 

$ rlwrap ocaml

There is also ocamlnat that is a native toplevel. It permits interactive use of the OCaml system through a read-eval-print loop, similar to the standard OCaml toplevel, but up to 100 times faster.
Using a module in the default toplevel is made with .cma files, with ocamlnat just use .cmxs files instead.

Oforth[edit]

Oforth interpreter is started using --i command line parameter : 

oforth --i

Into the interpreter, you can create functions : 

: x(a, b, sep)   a sep + sep + b + ;
ok
>x("Rosetta", "Code", ":")
ok
>.s
[1] (String) Rosetta::Code
ok
>

Alternatively you don't need the local variables 

 > : x   dup rot + + + ;
ok
> "Rosetta" "Code" ";" x .s
[1] (String) Rosetta::Code
ok
>

ooRexx[edit]

ooRexx ships a program rexxtry.rex which does exactly what this task asks for.

Output:
D:\>rexx rexxtry ?
 This procedure lets you interactively try REXX statements.
 If you run it with no parameter, or with a question mark
 as a parameter, it will briefly describe itself.
 You may also enter a REXX statement directly on the command line
 for immediate execution and exit.  Example:  rexxtry call show

 Enter 'call show' to see user variables provided by REXXTRY.
 Enter '=' to repeat your previous statement.
 Enter '?' to invoke system-provided online help for REXX.
 The subroutine named 'sub' can be CALLed or invoked as 'sub()'.
 REXXTRY can be run recursively with CALL.

 Except for the signal instructions after a syntax error, this
 procedure is an example of structured programming.

Oz[edit]

Mozart supports this style of programming with its Emacs interface. Go to the "Oz" buffer and enter 

declare fun {F As Bs Sep} {Append As Sep|Sep|Bs} end

Press C-. C-l to evaluate the line.

Now enter 

{System.showInfo {F "Rosetta" "Code" &:}}

and again press C-. C-l to execute the code. You will see the result in the "*Oz Emulator*" buffer.

PARI/GP[edit]

gp *is* a REPL built on the PARI library. You can start it from the command line with gp, though you may wish to change to your Pari directory first so it can read your .gprc file. Alternatively, if you are using a GUI, double-click the shortcut. 

f(s1,s2,sep)=Str(s1, sep, sep, s2);

Perl[edit]

Perl doesn't have an interpreter, but there is an interactive debugger: 

$ perl -de1
 
Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.3
Editor support available.
 
Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.
 
main::(-e:1):   1
  DB<1> sub f {my ($s1, $s2, $sep) = @_; $s1 . $sep . $sep . $s2}
 
  DB<2> p f('Rosetta', 'Code', ':')
Rosetta::Code
  DB<3> q

Alternative way: 

$ perl
# Write the script here and press Ctrl+D plus ENTER when finished (^D means Ctrl+D):
sub f {my ($s1, $s2, $sep) = @_; $s1 . $sep . $sep . $s2};
print f('Rosetta', 'Code', ':');
^D
Rosetta::Code
$

Another: 

$ perl -lpe '$_=eval||[email protected]'
sub f { join '' => @_[0, 2, 2, 1] }
 
f qw/Rosetta Code :/
Rosetta::Code

Perl 6[edit]

Using Rakudo. 

$ rakudo/perl6
> sub f($str1,$str2,$sep) { $str1~$sep x 2~$str2 };
f
> f("Rosetta","Code",":");
Rosetta::Code
>
 

PicoLisp[edit]

$ pil +
: (de f (Str1 Str2 Sep)
   (pack Str1 Sep Sep Str2) )
-> f
 
: (f "Rosetta" "Code" ":")
-> "Rosetta::Code"

Pike[edit]

$ pike

PowerShell[edit]

PowerShell itself is already a shell and therefore an interactive environment is the default.

REBOL[edit]

Start the REBOL/Core interpreter in quiet mode with -q. q to quit. 

$ rebol -q
>> f: func [a b s] [print rejoin [a s s b]]
>> f "Rosetta" "Code" ":"
Rosetta::Code

Retro[edit]

Retro's interpreter is started automatically. Once you see the "ok" prompt, you can proceed to enter code: 

: f ( $$$-$ ) [ ^strings'prepend ] sip ^strings'prepend ^strings'append tempString ;
"Rosetta" "Code" ":" f

REXX[edit]

version 1[edit]

/*REXX*/  parse arg a b c
say f(a,b,c)
exit
f:return arg(1)arg(3)arg(3)arg(2)

version 2[edit]

This REXX version allows blanks to be included in the three strings. 

/*REXX program demonstrates  interactive programming  by using a  function [F].         */
say f('Rosetta',  "Code",  ':')
say f('The definition of a trivial program is ',  " one that has no bugs.",  '───')
exit                                             /*stick a fork in it,  we're all done. */
/*──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────*/
f:  return arg(1) || copies(arg(3),2) || arg(2)  /*return the required string to invoker*/

output   when using the (internal) default strings: 

Rosetta::Code
The definition of a trivial program is ────── one that has no bugs.

version 3[edit]

This REXX version is more to the keeping of the spirit of the task requirements. 

/*REXX program demonstrates  interactive programming  by using a  function [F].         */
say '══════════════════ enter the function  F  with three comma-separated arguments:'
parse pull funky
interpret  'SAY'  funky
exit                                             /*stick a fork in it,  we're all done. */
/*──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────*/
f:  return arg(1) || copies(arg(3),2) || arg(2)  /*return the required string to invoker*/

output (a screen scraping is shown)

int_act3 is the name of the REXX program [INT_ACT3.REX) 

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────Thu 10/18/2012 15:00:01
C:\►int_act3

Note that the timestamp and the C:\► text is part of my (wrapped) two-line prompt message.

Ring[edit]

 
r = "Rosetta"
c = "Code"
s = ":"
see r+s+s+c
 

Output: 

Rosetta::Code

Ruby[edit]

The read-eval-print loop (REPL) for Ruby is irb, the interactive ruby shell.

Start the interpreter by typing irb at the command line. You will see an input prompt, which by default is name of this program(name of main object):line number:indent level> : 

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> def f(string1, string2, separator)
irb(main):002:1>     [string1, '', string2].join(separator)
irb(main):003:1> end
=> :f
irb(main):004:0> f('Rosetta', 'Code', ':')
=> "Rosetta::Code"
irb(main):005:0> exit
$

S-lang[edit]

S-Lang includes a general-purpose shell called slsh. Command-line arguments are available with: 

   slsh --help

Without any arguments it starts from the command-line in [REPL] command-mode: 

> slsh<Enter>

Scala[edit]

Scala has a REPL -- Read, Evaluate & Print Loop. Being a compiled language, everything you type is encapsulated into a compilable template, compiled, executed, and the return value assigned to a special variable and displayed.

One invokes the REPL by just typing "scala", which is either a shell script or a batch file depending on one's operating system: 

C:\>scala
Welcome to Scala version 2.8.0.r21356-b20100407020120 (Java HotSpot(TM) Client V
M, Java 1.6.0_05).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.
 
scala> "rosetta"
res0: java.lang.String = rosetta

Scala's REPL, starting with version 2.8, offers both auto-completion and alternatives when typing TAB. For instance, to check what methods are available on a String, one may do the following: 

scala> "rosetta".
 
!=                    ##                    $asInstanceOf
$isInstanceOf         +                     ==
charAt                clone                 codePointAt
codePointBefore       codePointCount        compareTo
compareToIgnoreCase   concat                contains
contentEquals         endsWith              eq
equals                equalsIgnoreCase      finalize
getBytes              getChars              getClass
hashCode              indexOf               intern
isEmpty               lastIndexOf           length
matches               ne                    notify
notifyAll             offsetByCodePoints    regionMatches
replace               replaceAll            replaceFirst
split                 startsWith            subSequence
substring             synchronized          this
toCharArray           toLowerCase           toString
toUpperCase           trim                  wait
 
scala> "rosetta".+(":")
res1: java.lang.String = rosetta:

One can use `object`, `class`, `trait`, `case object`, `case class`, `def`, `val` and `var` definitions at any point. However, `package` and `package object` definitions are not allowed. 

scala> val str1 = "rosetta"
str1: java.lang.String = rosetta

Using these features, one can build the code for a method by testing it part of it individually: 

scala> val str2 = "code"
str2: java.lang.String = code
 
scala> val separator = ":"
separator: java.lang.String = :
 
scala> str1 + separator + str2
res2: java.lang.String = rosetta:code

If one makes a mistake, the REPL will print an error message, and display the point at which the mistake was made. 

scala> def (str1: String, str2: String, separator: String) =
<console>:1: error: identifier expected but '(' found.
       def (str1: String, str2: String, separator: String) =
           ^

If a definition takes more than a line, the REPL will print an indented "|" sign, and wait for more input. If one wishes to abort a definition, just enter two consecutive empty lines. 

scala> def f(str1: String, str2: String, separator: String) =
     | str1 + separator + str2
f: (str1: String,str2: String,separator: String)java.lang.String
 
scala> f("rosetta", "code", ":")
res3: java.lang.String = rosetta:code
 
scala> f("code", "rosetta", ", ")
res4: java.lang.String = code, rosetta

Also starting with version 2.8, a line starting with a dot will be interpreted as a method call on the last result produced. 

scala> .length
res5: Int = 13
 
scala>

The results are actually displayed with a special function, which pretty prints some results, and avoid eagerly evaluating others, where that could cause problems (such as infinite collections). 

scala> Array(1, 2, 3, 4)
res8: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4)
 
scala> println(res8)
[I@383244

There are many other features, such as the ability to add new jars to the class path, executing commands on the shell, retrieving the last exception thrown, etc.

Scheme[edit]

Several interpreters exist for Scheme. These are just some examples.

Standard ML[edit]

Works with: SML/NJ

Because you can enter expressions that span multiple lines, you have to type the semicolon (";") at the end so that it knows you are done. 

$ sml
Standard ML of New Jersey v110.67 [built: Fri Jul  4 09:00:58 2008]
- fun f (s1, s2, sep) = String.concatWith sep [s1, "", s2];
[autoloading]
[library $SMLNJ-BASIS/basis.cm is stable]
[autoloading done]
val f = fn : string * string * string -> string
- f ("Rosetta", "Code", ":");
val it = "Rosetta::Code" : string
-

Tcl[edit]

$ tclsh
% proc f {s1 s2 sep} {
    append result $s1 $sep $sep $s2
}
% f Rosetta Code :
Rosetta::Code
% exit

A simple alternative (one-liners are most convenient in an interactive shell): 

$ tclsh
% proc f {a b s} {join [list $a "" $b] $s}
% f Rosetta Code :
Rosetta::Code
%

TI-89 BASIC[edit]

To switch to the interpreter ("home screen"), press the HOME key. 

■ x & s & s & y → f(x,y,s)
                                  Done
■ f("Rosetta", "Code", ":")
                       "Rosetta::Code"

Input is left-aligned, output is right-aligned. “→” is typed by pressing STO▸, and “&” by pressing ◆ ×. All whitespace is optional.

UNIX Shell[edit]

Works with: Bourne Shell
$ sh
sh-3.2$ concat() { echo "$1$3$3$2"; }
sh-3.2$ concat Rosetta Code :
Rosetta::Code
sh-3.2$

C Shell[edit]

$ csh -f
% alias concat 'echo "\!:1\!:3\!:3\!:2"'
% concat Rosetta Code :
Rosetta::Code
%

es[edit]

$ es
; fn concat a b s { result $a$s$s$b }
; echo <={concat Rosetta Code :} 
Rosetta::Code
;

Ursa[edit]

$ java -jar ursa.jar
cygnus/x ursa v0.76 (default, release 1)
[Oracle Corporation JVM 1.8.0_91 on Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae i386]
> def f (string s1, string s2, string sep)
..	return (+ s1 sep sep s2)
..end 
> out (f "Rosetta" "Code" ":") endl console
Rosetta::Code
> _

Vedit macro language[edit]

To enter command mode, type <Esc>c, or to open command mode window, type <Esc>w. Or if the command mode window is already open, just click on the window.

To define a macro in text register 100: 

RS(100, "RS(10, @1) RS(10, @3, APPEND) RS(10, @3, APPEND) RS(10, @2, APPEND)")

To call the macro: 

RS(1,"Rosetta") RS(2,"Code") RS(3,":") Call(100)
Message(@10)

XLISP[edit]

How to start a REPL depends on the operating system.
