MachanScript is a adipoli 😎 programming language written in Javascript.
To start using MachanScript, follow these simple steps:
-
Installation: Install MachanScript globally using npm:
npm i -g machan-script
Note :- Assuming that you have Node.js installed, if not please install before continuing
-
Syntax Overview:
Machane!!: Every MachanScript file should start by calling Machan, or else the code will not run.ithu varName = value aanu: Used to declare variables.ithu const varName = value aanu: Used to declare constant variables.ithu b = "Hello World" aanu: Used to declare strings.ithu arr = [ 1 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 3 ] aanu: Used to declare arrays.ithu obj = { x : 100 , y : 200 , } aanu: Example of creating objects.obj . x | obj . y: Accessing object properties.
-
Examples:
-
Variable Declaration:
ithu variableName = value aanu ithu const constantName = value aanu -
Object Creation:
ithu obj1 = { x : 100 , y : 200 , } aanu ithu const obj2 = { z : 300 , v : 400 , } aanu -
Printing:
para ( "Hello World!!" ) ; para ( "Sum: " , obj1 . x + obj2 . z ) ;

Saving the file:
- Save the file with
.msextension.
- Save the file with
MachanScript provides the following native functions:
para ( message ) ;: Prints the message to the console.input_eduku ( varName , prompt ) ;: Prompts the user to enter a value and assigns it to the variable specified byvarName.orangu ( milliseconds ) ;: It will synchronously pause the execution of other operations for the specified number of milliseconds before resuming.veluthu ( arg1 , arg2...., varName ) ;: Returns the largest. We can either pass sperate values or an array or seperate values and an array. The returned value will be stored in the last passedvarName.cheruthu ( arg1 , arg2...., varName) ;: Same as ofveluthuexcept it returns the smallest valueinathe_date ( boolVal , varName ) ;: Returns the date, if true it also returns the time, if we pass thevarNamethe returned value will be stored in the new variable created.vayiku ( file , varName ) ;: Prints the content in the file, if we pass thevarNamethe returned content will be stored in the new variable created.ezhuthu ( file , data ) ;: Stores the data we passed to the file. We can either directly pass a string or a variable containing a string,random ( min , max , varName ) ;: Returns a random number between the min and max range, if we pass thevarNamethe returned value will be stored in the new variable created.fact ( number , varName ) ;: Returns the factorial of the number, if we pass thevarNamethe returned value will be stored in the new variable created.
MachanScript supports the following control statements:
ipo: Used for conditional execution. Followed by a condition and a block of code to execute if the condition is true.anengi: Marks the beginning of the block of code to execute if the condition in anipostatement is true.alengi: Marks the beginning of the block of code to execute if the condition in anipostatement is false.switch machane: Used for conditional execution. Different cases are declared byipovalueanengiand the default it set byonnum_alengi.
MachanScript supports the following loop statements:
machane: Used to create while loops. Followed by a condition and a block of code to execute repeatedly as long as the condition is true.avaneandvare: Marks the beginning and end of the block of code to execute in amachaneloop.for machane: Used to create for loops. Followed by a condition and a block of code to execute repeatedly as long as the condition is true.enit: Marks the beginning block of code to execute in afor machaneloop.
- Usage:
Machane!!
ithu x = 5 aanu
ipo ( x < 10 ) anengi {
para ( " x is less than 10 " ) ;
} alengi {
para ( "x is greater than or equal to 10" ) ;
}
- Usage:
Machane!!
input_eduku ( x , "Enter a number: ") ;
switch machane ( x ) {
ipo 1 anengi {
para ( " You selected 1 " ) ;
}
ipo 2 anengi {
para ( " You selected 2 " ) ;
}
onnum_alengi {
para ( "MachanScript" ) ;
}
}
- Usage:
Machane!!
ithu a = 1 aanu
machane ( a <= 5 ) avane vare {
para ( a ) ;
a = a + 1
}
- Usage:
Machane!!
for machane ( ithu i = 0 aanu : i < 5 : i = i + 1 ) enit {
para ( i ) ;
}
Usage :
Machane!!
input_eduku ( w , "Enter a number, a string or an array: ") ;
para ( w ) ;
para ( w [ 2 ] ) ; //arrays
Usage :
Machane!!
ithu b = 10 aanu
ithu c = 0 aanu
machane ( c <= b ) avane vare {
para ( c ) ;
orangu ( 2000 ) ;
c = c + 1
}
Usage :
Machane!!
ithu arr = [ 3 , 5 , 6 , 9 , 7 , 101 ] aanu
cheruthu ( arr , small ) ;
para ( small ) ;
veluthu ( arr , 12 , 4 , 65 , 1 , 100 , 99 , large ) ;
para ( large ) ;
Usage :
Machane!!
inathe_date ( ) ;
inathe_date ( true ) ;
inathe_date ( true , y ) ;
inathe_date ( false , x ) ;
para ( "date: " , x ) ;
Usage :
Machane!!
vayiku ( "./test1.txt" ) ;
ithu filePath = "./test1.txt" aanu
vayiku ( filePath ) ;
Usage :
Machane!!
ezhuthu ( "./test1.txt", "Hello") ;
ithu y = "./test1.txt" aanu
ithu x = "Hello" aanu
ezhuthu ( y , x ) ;
Usage :
Machane!!
random ( 1 , 5 ) ;
random ( 1 , 5 , a ) ;
para ( a ) ;
Usage :
Machane!!
fact ( 4 ) ;
fact ( 4 , a ) ;
para ( a ) ;
You can run MachanScript files from the command line using the following command:
machane filename.msThe MachanScript extension enables syntax highlighting in VSCode.
