The pattern, is a kind of conditional in J, which could in Tcl be written. Note that +/ is considered one operator, which applies the "adverb" folding to the "verb" addition (one might well call it "sum"). Tcl/Tk 8.5 Programming Cookbook (2011) , by Bert Wheeler, provides over 100 recipes to effectively use Tcl/Tk 8.5. Maybe another weekend John Backus turned 80 these days. Tcl/Tk for Programmers is an introduction to the high-level Tcl/Tk scripting language for experienced programmers with either Unix or Windows background. is used as comment indicator, both being well known Latin abbreviations: Again, the "->" argument is for eye-candy only but it feels better to me at least. Continuous, active development since the early 1990's. Tcl's lists are well suited to represent sets. So what about a thin abstraction (wrapper) around this recurring pattern? First lmap is a collecting foreach it maps the specified body over a list: The following generic wrapper takes one binary operator (could be any suitable function) and two arguments, which may be scalars, vectors, or even matrices (lists of lists), as it recurses as often as needed. The following code was created in the Tcl chatroom, instigated by the quote: "A computer is a state machine. # make a list of 2**n lists, each with n truth values 0|1, #-- And here's some more hand-crafted bytecode implementations, #-- The stack routines imply a global stack::S, for simplicity, # a bytecode will consume at most two elements, #-- make a table of bytecode stack balances, #-- "peephole optimizer" - suppress code with redundancies. For porting this, lmap is a good helper, even though not strictly functional: We furtheron borrow some more content from expr: We'll need functional composition, and here's a recursive de-luxe version that takes zero or more functions, hence the name o*: is the neutral element of variadic functional composition, when called with no functions at all. For Tcl, there have been several OO extensions/frameworks (incr Tcl, XOTcl, stooop, Snit to name a few) in different flavors, but none can be considered as standard followed by a majority of users. One point that was new for me is that the distinction between operators and operands is not cast in stone. in static variables (here implemented with the fancy remember proc) examples are intgen that delivers ever increasing integers, or gets $fp where the file pointer advances at each call, so potentially all lines of the file are returned over time. In an RPN language, the example might look like this: which has the advantage that execution goes from left to right, but requires some stack awareness (and some swaps to set the stack right;^), Implementing Def, I took an easy route by just creating a proc that adds an argument and leaves it to the "functional" to do the right thing (with some quoting heaven:-) }. So let's get the pieces together. We have the patron's and book's ID in variables and do double bookkeeping: When he returns the book, the process is reversed: The dueback field (%Y-%M-%d format is good for sorting and comparing) is useful for checking whether books have not been returned in time: Likewise, parts of the accounting (e.g. :). As we've seen that x is true for any x, we can cancel out such tautologies. OK, I bite the bullet, set nmax to 500000, wait 5 minutes for the partitioning, and then: Hm.. cheap trick again it was discovered that the solution is just the successor of the second argument. Tcl Scripting Basic Examples Introducing 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Introducing 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Introducing 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors The browser version you are using is not recommended for this site. Factorial (n!) Retrieving a record is as easy as this (though the fields come in undefined order): and deleting a record is only slightly more convolved: or, even easier and faster from Tcl 8.3 on: Here's how to get a "column", all fields of a given tag: But real columns may have empty fields, which we don't want to store. The know command is called with a condition that should result in an integer when given to expr, and a body that will be executed if cond results in nonzero, returning the last result if not terminated with an explicit return. Consider the following model: Fields may well be implemented as array entries, so we could have an array per record, or better one array for the whole database, where the key is composed of ID and tag. For this, we reformat the expression to a list of values of type x or !x, that is in turn dumped into a local array for existence checking. In that situation, you can fall back to the (otherwise slower, and uglier) use of a dedicated iterator: But neither can you filter the keys you will get with a glob pattern, nor may you add or delete array elements in the loop the search will be immediately terminated. Adding a book to the database can be simply done by, Note that, as we never specified what fields a record shall contain, we can add whatever we see fit. For clearer code, it is advisable to factor out frequent operations into procs, e.g. It aims at providing ability for programs to interact with other programs and also for acting as an embeddable interpreter. Like in real life, test cases have to be carefully chosen. Note however that you need stdin for this implementation, which excludes wishes on Windows (one might easily write a UI-more that reacts on mouse clicks, though). The cute name "e.g." This page is not available in other languages. They are for instance the building blocks of relational databases and spreadsheets. Like in switch, fall-through collapsing of several cases is indicated by "-", and "default" as final condition fires if none else did. Creating a new syntax for a DSL would defeat the purpose of Tcl. This page was last edited on 16 April 2020, at 06:44. Assume John Smith borrows "The Tempest". The goto command is defined "locally", and deleted after leaving the state machine it is not meaningfully used outside of it. We have Boolean operators in expr, so here goes: The only unary operator NOT can be written in terms of nand: .. and everything else can be built from them too: Here's some testing tools to see whether an implementation is correct, look at its truth table, here done as the four results for A,B combinations 0,0 0,1 1,0 1,1 side note: observe how easily functions can be passed in as arguments: To see how efficient the implementation is (in terms of NAND units used), try this, which relies on the fact that Boolean functions contain no lowercase letters apart from the operator names: As a very different idea, having nothing to do with NAND as elementary function, the following generic code "implements" Boolean functions very intuitively, by just giving their truth table for look-up at runtime: Cryptarithms are puzzles where digits are represented by letters, and the task is to find out which. Testing early and often is a virtue, as is documentation to make the following code snippets clearer, I tuned my little tester for better looks, so that the test cases in the source code also serve as well readable examples they look like comments but are code! returns the first solution found, or else an empty string: A record is a nonempty set of fields with a unique ID, A field is a pair of tag and nonempty value, both being strings, a set F of functions that map objects into objects (, an operation, application (very roughly, eval), a set FF of functional forms, used to combine functions or objects to form new functions in F, a set D of definitions that map names to functions in F, "tcl" evaluates the top of stack as a Tcl script, scalar @ scalar scalar (like expr does), vector @ vector vector (all of same dimensions, element-wise), measure the stack balance for each bytecode, iterate once over very many possible programs, computing their stack balance, partition them (put into distinct subsets) by stack balance, perform each 'discovery' call only on programs of matching stack balance, Brute force is simple, but may demand very much patience (or faster hardware), The sky, not the skull is the limit what all we can do with Tcl:), classes can be defined, with variables and methods, objects are created as instances of a class, objects are called with messages to perform a method, or just as parts of a transparent value, with TOOT, a is the state in which they can be applied, b is the character that must be read from tape if this rule is to apply, D is the direction to move the tape after writing (R(ight) or L(eft)), e is the state to transition to after the rule was applied, Every animal is suitable for a pet, that loves to gaze at the moon, No animals are carnivorous, unless they prowl at night, No animals ever take to me, except what are in this house, Animals that prowl at night always love to gaze at the moon. Rational numbers, a.k.a. (I used uplevel instead of eval to keep all side effects in caller's scope). Tcl provides the syntax so that the DSL designer can focus on the grammar. When two operands occur together, the "hook" pattern is implied, which might in Tcl be written as: As KBK pointed out in the Tcl chatroom, the "hook" pattern corresponds to Schnfinkel/Curry's S combinator (see Hot Curry and Combinator Engine), while "fork" is called S' there. The numbers of the bits finally still set are supposed to be primes, and returned: Here's code to count the number of 1-bits in a bit vector, represented as an integer list. Make sure the fields (cells) match those in the header. For the 1000 programs with Goedel numbers 1..1000, it retains only a fraction for each stack balance: Simple starter discover the successor function (add one): Not bad: duplicate the number twice, divide by itself to get the constant 1, and add that to the original number. In addition to extensive program-ming work on Tcl, Clif offers Tcl/Tk training sessions with in-class exercises. A Functional Style and Its Algebra of Programs. To extend Tcl, i.e. Tests are done with this minimal "framework": The dot product of two vectors is a scalar. But I notice more and more that, on my way to functional programming, my proc bodies are a single call to expr which does all the rest (often with the powerful x?y:z operator). The book includes a short introduction to TCP/IP, as well as longer introductions to writing client . Tcl casts everything into the mold of a command, even programming constructs like variable assignment and procedure definition. For this we again need a 1-based integer range generator: At this point, a number is prime if the sum of the latest vector is 2. Intro to Tcl: Exercises #2 Exercises #2 Rewrite the change function (Exercise 1.3) to work for any set of coins (or notes) for any decimal currency. If both the operands are non-zero, then condition becomes true. Get better at programming through fun, rewarding coding exercises that test your understanding of concepts with Exercism. As an example, here's a Stack class with push and pop methods, and an instance variable s a list that holds the stack's contents: The interp alias makes sure that calling the object's name, like. "Hello, World!" is the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language or environment. Core Python Programming, chapter 5 exercises number 5-3, question on this exercise. In a frequent parlage, priority 1 is the "highest", and the number increases for "lower" priorities but you could push in an item with 0 for "ultrahigh";-) Popping a stack can be done like this: Popping a queue is similarly structured, but with so different details that I found no convenient way to factor out things: Popping a priority queue requires sorting out which item has highest priority. Especially, indexing the isa field allows iterating over "tables" (which we still don't explicitly have! line-ends \r\n are not standardized to \n as usual in C), and prints as many lines as needed which each contain 16 bytes in hexadecimal notation, plus, where possible, the ASCII character. # now do something with db($key) - but see below! These 20 syntax will definitely help you lot to start and improve your tcl scripting a lot. 122 exercises Another example is this integer range generator (starts from 1, and is inclusive, so [iota1 5] == {1 2 3 4 5}): "NAND is not AND." Also, memory limits on modern computers are somewhere up high so only at some time in the future you might have (but maybe not want) to change to a complex database;-). And when both x and !x exist, they are removed from the expression: translated back: "I avoid it, or it's not a kangaroo", or, reordered, " a" which by (4) means, "All kangaroos are avoided by me". And three nested calls to vec are sufficient to produce the divisors list:). Coroutines allow asynchronous interleaved tasks to be written in a sequential style. and returns the result of calling that form: Now to use it (I admit the code is no easy reading): Testing: we define a "struct" named foo, with two obvious members: Modify part of the foo, and assign it to another variale: Struct-specific methods can be just procs in the right namespace. Tcl 8.5 Network Programming (2010) , by Kocjan and Beltowski, is targeted towards building network-aware applications using Tcl and includes coverage of many Tcl libraries and extensions. Unlike in earlier years when I was playing APL, this time my aim was not to parse and emulate J in Tcl I expected hard work for a dubitable gain, and this is a weekend fun project after all. Exercise 1 - Tcl procedure. #-- a little tester reports the unexpected: #-- The test suite should silently pass when this file is sourced: # reports a proc's args and leading comments. Called Logical AND operator. Tcl is a popular and widely used cross-platform script programming language that achieves significant productivity gains when used by skilled engineers. Tables are understood here as rectangular (matrix) arrangements of data in rows (one row per "item"/"record") and columns (one column per "field"/"element"). one with at most one rule per state and input character), which gives clear instructions and two test cases for input and output, so I decided to try my hand in Tcl. I only had to take care that when moving beyond its ends, I had to attach a space (written as _) on that end, and adjust the position pointer when at the beginning. If a filter meets end-of-stream, it should return that too. Sorting roman numerals: I,V,X already come in the right order; for the others we have to introduce temporary collation transformations, which we'll undo right after sorting: As "control structures" are really nothing special in Tcl, just a set of commands, it is easier than in most other languages to create one's own. But bare-bones has its advantages too: in order to see how a clockwork works, you'd better have all parts visible:). Getting more daring, let's try a distributive law: Daring more: what if we postulate the equivalence? Task 1:- Input Output File Handling & Rearranging Data Step 1: Create a file and named it "file_input1.txt" (Content of "file_input1.txt" is given below - Remember, you have create file exactly same as given. Here we can do what we want, even retrieve which fields we have used so far (using a temporary array to keep track of field names): Searching for records that meet a certain condition can be done sequentially. Hence, streams can be (and typically are) nested for processing purposes. This means that subsequent calls to know stack up, last condition being tried first, so if you have several conditions that fire on the same input, let them be "known" from generic to specific. This result (0 or 1) is substituted for the first word of this command. The following script. For easier handling, it's a good idea to classify records somehow (we'll want to store more than books), so we add. and Insert is better known as fold, I suppose. See all Tcl exercises Get started with the Tcl track The best part, it's 100% free for everyone. Formally, what happened to the bracketed call is that it went through "applicative order" evaluation (i.e., do it now), while the braced commands wait for "normal order" evaluation (i.e., do when needed, maybe never the need is expressed through eval/upvar or similar commands). They are however better reusable than the multable proc above. $ wish ex1proc.tcl. 100% free. What's missing is the capability to randomly address parts of a stream, as is possible in Scheme (and of course their claim to do without assignment, or mutable data) Tcl lists just don't follow LISP's CAR/CDR model (though KBK demonstrated in Tcl and LISP that this structure can be emulated, also with procs), but rather C's flat *TclObject[] style. Start a new topic Clif is the author of the TclTutor package2 and the books Tcl/Tk for Real Programmers and Tcl/Tk: A Developer's Guide3. Tcl has no goto command, but it can easily be created. * Edit and save ex1proc.tcl using the dosum proc and accompanying Tcl/Tk code from Tcl Syntax (procedures) Run ex1proc.tcl. Just choose how to implement instance variables: The task of frameworks, be they written in Tcl or C, is just to hide away gorey details of the implementation in other words, sugar it:) On the other hand, one understands a clockwork best when it's outside the clock, and all parts are visible so to get a good understanding of OO, it might be most instructive to look at a simple implementation. The "main routine" is a single line that dumps all files given on the command line: Sample output, the script applied to itself: Roman numerals are an additive (and partially subtractive) system with the following letter values: Here's some Tcl routines for dealing with Roman numerals. orders to, and bills from, booksellers) can be added with little effort, and cross-related also to external files (just set the value to the filename). Another idea from SICP is a "smoothing" function, that averages each pair of values from the input stream. Doing more steps towards functional programming, I came upon this interesting problem, and will shortly demonstrate that it can easily be solved in pure-Tcl. A program without such extravaganzas is shorter and yet does the same job, so it will have been tested earlier anyway. An important functional form is the conditional, which at Backus looks like. Genres Programming. For Joy's sets I haven't bothered yet they are restricted to the domain 0..31, probably implemented with bits in a 32-bit word. Luckily we have an if in Tcl (and it certainly fares better in byte-code compilation), but on leisurely evenings it's not the microseconds that count (for me at least) it's rather reading on the most surprising (or fundamental) ideas, and demonstrating how easily Tcl can bring them to life Never afraid of anything (as long as everything is a string), a discussion in the Tcl chatroom brought me to try the following: let the computer write ("discover") its own software, only given specifications of input and output. Testing: a tiny state machine that greets you as often as you wish, and ends if you only hit Return on the "how often?" Bit vectors can also be used to indicate set membership (set operations would run faster if processing 32 bits on one go with bitwise operators (&, |, ~, ^)) or pixels in a binary imary image, where each row could be implemented by a bitvector. Explore the Tcl exercises on Exercism Unlock more exercises as you progress. Clif first learned to program in high school in machine language on a Monroe 600 programmable . We still have the canonical truth values 0 and 1 as returned from expr with a comparison operator. After version 8.0/8.0, the unusually fast development of Tcl/Tk has slowed to a more normal pace. fractions, can be thought of as pairs of integers {numerator denominator}, such that their "real" numerical value is numerator/denominator (and not in integer nor "double" division!). Mathematically put. ): proc flatten_list { l } { if { [llength $l] == 0 } { return {} } elseif { [llength $l] == 1 && [lindex $l 0] == $l } { return $l } else { set ret {} If you use the tiny testing framework explained earlier, the e.g. Tcl is a string based scripting language. (Comm. 123f.). Before we start, a word of warning: maintaining state of a procedure is done with default arguments that may be rewritten. However, most of these share the features. (A && B) is false. In the algebra introduced here, with a variable "a", no further simplification was so far possible. As everything is a string, and to Tcl "a" is {a} is a , Joy's polymorphy has to be made explicit. of Tcl. In a nutshell, his FP system comprises. But this very soon crosses the limits of integers, giving wrong results.

Before starting your programming, make sure you have one text editor in place and you have enough experience to write a computer program, save it in a file, build it, and finally execute it. The size of partitions is further reduced by excluding programs which contain redundant code, that will have no effect, like swapping the stack twice, or swapping before an addition or multiplication. It was first created by John Osterhout in 1989. It may be interesting to note that this language has truly minimal syntax the only rule is: each script ("word") composed of any number of bytecodes is well-formed. In a very radical simplification, a whole world is built up by two operators, juxtaposition without visible symbol (which could be likened to or) and a overbar-hook (with the meaning of not) that I can't type here it's a horizontal stroke over zero or more operands, continued at right by a vertical stroke going down to the baseline. Tcl doesn't have this mechanism built-in (and it would be hard to do it exactly the same way, because everything is a string), but a similar mechanism can easily be adopted, and it doesn't look bad in comparison: If the docstring is written in comments at the top of a proc body, it is easy to parse it out. 71 coding exercises for C on Exercism. Here single bracing is correct. The authors provide sample chapters available to download for free. Accessing fields in a table is more fun with the field names than the numeric indexes, which is made easy by the fact that the field names are in the first row: Here is how to filter a table by giving pairs of field name and glob-style expression in addition to the header line, all rows that satisfy at least one of those come through (you can force AND behavior by just nesting such calls): This filters (and, if wanted, rearranges) columns, sort of what is called a "view": In the following few chapters you'll see how easy it is to emulate or explore other programming languages with Tcl. Rather, one could use read and write traces on variable M, causing it to load from, or store to, mem($HL). Chapter 4 discusses Tcl I/O support for les, pipes, and sockets. A matter of style and taste, in a way multable is 10 LOC and depends on nothing but Tcl, which is good; multable2 describes quite concisely what it does, and builds on a few other procs that are highly reusable. in the forum Live Demo #!/usr/bin/tclsh puts "Hello, World!" Assuming, Tcl environment is setup correctly; let's run the program after switching to file's directory and then execute the program using $ tclsh test.tcl All Exercises 122 Completed 0 In Progress 0 Available 122 Locked 0 Hello World Tutorial Exercise The classical introductory exercise. with our unique blend of learning, practice and mentoring. The process of creating a simple database consists only of setting an initial value for the ID: Let's consider a library application for an example. Implement an evaluator for a very simple subset of Forth. "Hello, World!" will get you writing some Tcl and familiarise yourself with the Exercism workflow. The absence of lexical scoping also led to constructs like sproc/reset, which stop a gap but aren't exactly elegant but Tcl's clear line between either local or global variables allows something like closures only by rewriting default arguments like done in remember (or like in Python). reports the results as wanted in the paper, on stdout: Streams are a powerful concept in (not only functional) programming. Tcl 8.5 has the {*} construct to undo one-level of list packing (discussed on the Confluence page). #puts "$mem($pc)\tA:$::A B:$::B C:$::C D:$::D E:$::E Z:$::Z", #----------------- "machine opcodes" implemented as procs, ; idiomatic: get over the initial variable(s), ; load double registers H+L with the address INCR, ; load byte to register B from the address pointed to in HL, "$body \$x [string repeat \] [llength $args]]". So [or] == 0 and [and] == 1. In Europe and elsewhere, the most widely used paper format is called A4. The coin values should be passed to change as a variable number of arguments which are the coin values in units (e.g., a quarter would be represented as 25) in any order. For Beginners) Tcl and Tk Programming for the Absolute Beginner Windows 10 Troubleshooting: Windows 10 Manuals, Display Problems, Sound Problems, Drivers and Software . # This filter collects its input (should be finite;-) into a list: # $ streamlist {foo bar grill a} | sort | collect => a bar foo grill. This way, a stream can promise to be a potentially endless source of data, while taking only finite time to process and deliver what's really wanted.
