Built In Functions

Cyclone provides a set of built-in functions that can be used to perform various operations. These functions are available to the user without the need for any import statements.

List of Built-in Functions

Cyclone provides the following built-in functions:

• Utility Functions
  • print
  • input
  • random
  • size
  • len
• Conversion Functions
  • int
  • float
  • string
  • bool

Utility Functions

print

The print function is used to print the value of the expression to the console.

print("Hello, World!")

print only accepts a string as an argument. To print value other than string, you can use the string conversion function to convert the value to a string.

var a = 10
print(string(a))

input

The input function is used to take input from the user.

print("Enter your name: ")
var name = input()
print("Hello, " + name)

random

The random function is used to generate a random number between 0 and max.

var max : int = 10
var r = random(max)
print(r)

size

The size function is used to get the size of the array.

var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
var s = size(arr)
print(s)

len

The len function is used to get the length of the string.

var s = "Hello, World!"
var l = len(s)
print(l)

Conversion Functions

string

The string function is used to convert a value to a string.

var a = 10
var b = string(a)
print(b)
// "10"

int

The int function is used to convert a value to an integer.

var a = 10.5
var b = int(a)
print(string(b)) 
// 10

float

The float function is used to convert a value to a float.

var a : string = "10"
var b = float(a)
print(string(b))
// 10

bool

The bool function is used to convert a value to a boolean.

var a = 10
var b = bool(a)
print(string(b))
// true
