Zeno Interpreter
-
Version
1.2
This application is an interpreter for the Zeno
computer programming languare. It requires Microsoft
Windows 95 or later. It includes a text editor for
creating, saving, and printing programs. The on-line
Help feature includes a tutorial on the Zeno computer
programming language and operating instructions for
the interpreter. The Zeno programming language is easy
to learn and user friendly. It is more like natural
English than most other computer languages and this
makes a Zeno program easy to write and easy to
understand. The Zeno interpreter allows anyone to
learn and quickly master structured programming
methods. It may also be used for performing complex
numerical calculations. A Zeno program is modular. The
program module defines both the start and end of a
program. All executable statements are contained
within this module or within subprogram modules.
Subprograms, procedures and functions, are used to
create a program from small manageable pieces. Zeno
allows you to define procedure modules and function
modules as needed for your programs. The Zeno
programming language supports a variety of data types.
You may declare named variables and named constants;
you may define your own data type using a type
definition. Zeno has only two numerical data types;
integers and floating point numbers. It has a boolean
type, a character type, and a string type. It supports
an array type, a record type and an enumerated type
which you the programmer define. Global variable
declarations and data type definitions must be located
outside of the program and any subprogram modules.
Declarations are limited to the scope in which they
are defined.
