🎓 Tutorial: Intro to Simpl Py Processes

1. Commands
2. Handling

1. Commands

Like all programming languages, Simpl-Py takes user input and displays output in the terminal. What makes Simpl-Py different is its interactive feel between the user and the terminal. The terminal almost walks the user through accessing functions. Take the example below: >> shows user input

>> print.echo
Echo What? >> hello
Echo Space? >> 2
Echo Amount? >> 5
hello  hello  hello  hello  hello

The terminal is actually providing the steps for the user to access the print.echo function. This is what makes Simpl-Py simple.

2. Handling

In Simpl-Py's code, commands given by the user are converted into tokens. These tokens are used later for processing. For example, if the user typed print.echo, Simpl-Py would convert that command into a list: ['print', '.', 'echo']. This list can now be processed through functions called handlers. Handlers take the commands and return an output. We will learn more about handling later in the tutorial.
