The Frink Language 2008-08-02 (Default branch)
Image Frink is a calculating tool and programming language designed to help you in the real world. It tracks units of measurement throughout all calculations and ensures that answers are correct. It converts between systems of measurement and has a huge library of physical data. It handles conversions between time zones, currencies, and historical values of the U.S. dollar and the British pound, translates between several languages, does date/time math, and more. License: Other/Proprietary License Changes:
This release fixes the calculation of Julian day for B.C. dates. In addition, the handling of the switch between the Julian and the Gregorian calendar was made more consistent. This enables proper date/time math for dates in the distant past. If performing analysis with dates before 1583, updating is strongly recommended. Several astronomy libraries were also improved, and functions to control output format were added.Image

NAME

       gvrng - An interactive, introductory programming language.

SYNTAX

       gvrng [world file | program file]

DESCRIPTION

       Guido van Robot is a project developed by advanced high school students for use by their peers as a learning tool and precursor to the fur-
       ther study of programming with Python. It is a minimalistic programming language providing just enough syntax to help  students	learn  the
       concepts  of  sequencing, conditional branching, looping and procedural abstraction. It's biggest strength is that it permits this learning
       in an environment that combines the thrill of problem-solving with instant visual feedback. In short, it is  an	interactive,  introductory
       programming  language that is excellent for learning the basic concepts of programming, applicable in any high-level language. Best of all,
       it's a whole lot of fun, too!

       At this point, you are probably asking yourself, "What is GvRng, specifically?" The gist of it is that it is a robot represented by a  tri-
       angle  on  the screen that moves around in a world made up of streets and avenues, walls and "beepers", which Guido can collect or set. His
       actions are completely guided by a program written by the user.
