# Welcome to Schnops! This is a comment.
# Comments are ignored when you run the program.

#-
If you have a lot of cool comments you can put
them all in a multiline commment. Multiline comments
can space multiple lines and have to be opened and closed
with '#-' and '-#'.

# The most simple program you can get is adding two numbers
# together. Schnops acts like you'd expect, and handles all
# sorts of math fine.
2 + 4
8 - 2
3 * 2
12 / 2

# There's also some pretty cool mathematical functions, like
# tan(), log(), sin(), cos(), and sqrt()!
#
# Since these functions aren't as common, you call them on the
# Math class, which contains a lot of methematical stuff.
Math sqrt(10)
Math tan(5)
Math cosh(6)

# Let's define our own simple class for a cow, with some methods!
class Cow {
  def initialize() {
    @legs = 4
    @legs_butchered = 0
  }

  def moo {
    print("Moo!")
  }

  def legs {
    return @legs
  }

  def legs_butchered {
    return @legs_butchered
  }

  # This may be supported instead of the above
  # two methods...
  property ^legs
  property ^legs_butchered

  def butcher(legs_butchered) {
    @legs - legs_butchered
    @legs_butchered + legs_butchered
  }
}

# Initialize a new cow named Berble
berble = new Cow

# Let's make Berble make moo noises with a loop!
3 times:
  berble moo.

# Now let's be evil and cut off some of Berble's legs!
berble butcher(2) # Only two legs...

# Since we were evil, let's see how many legs remain...
berble legs #=> 2

# We also cut off two legs... let's make sure:
berble legs_butchered #=> 2 - great!
