Built-in functions

This list is incomplete, and some of the function signatures are guesses.

Arithmetic Operations

• log10(x: AnyInt) Int
• log10(number: U64) Int
• ulog2(x: AnyUInt) Int
• log2(x: AnySInt) Int
• asr(x: AnyInt, shift_amount: AnyInt) Int
• popcount(x: AnyInt) Int
• trailing_zeros(x: AnyInt) Int

Arrays

• array(element: @Type, length: Int) [@Type]
• type_of_element(array: [@Element]) Type
  • Returns the type of the elements in the array.
• quick_sort($arr: [@Any])
• sort($arr: [@Any])

Display

• hex(num: @Size) String
• output(text: String)
• print(x: @Any)
  • Prints x to the console.
• str(x: @Type) String
  • Returns a string representation of x.

Dot functions

these use the dot operator, for example

let arr = [U64 0, 0, 0]
print( arr.len() ) // Prints 3

• high(a: [@Any]) Int
• in(value: @Type, array: [@Type]) Bool
• len(array: [@Any]) Int

Memory

• memory_clear(source: Ptr, length: Int)
• memory_commit(pointer: Ptr, length: Int)
• memory_copy(source: Ptr, destination: Ptr, length: Int)
• memory_copy_reverse(source: Ptr, destination: Ptr, length: Int)
• memory_free(pointer: Ptr, size: Int)
• memory_reserve(length: Int) Ptr

Random

• random() Int
• random(max: Int) Int
• random(type: @Type) @Type
• randomize_seed(...?)
• sample(array: [@Any]) @Any

Utility

• assert(condition: Bool, error_code: Int)
• int_of_size(value: Int, size: Int): @Sxx
  • Returns a signed integer of width size with value, all parameters must be resolved at compile time.

e.g. int_of_size(4, 32) is the same as S32 4

• sleep(duration: Time)
