I. BRIEF

Tiny Language is a library written for C/C++. Inspired by the turing complete language Brainf**k Language (hereafter called BFlang), Tiny aims to bring a BFlang like functionalities to the C/C++ environment. With sophisticated controls and smart memory management, Tiny is perfect to create your own recipe for programming.

Q. Why should you use it?

A. Tiny uses the most basic operations on data like increment and decrement. So you could be totally reliable on your code and write functionalities from basic. Tiny is great for people who like to write code from scratch. No dependencies. Just pure C code.

Quick Reference:

Command	Description
L	Move the pointer to the left (Left)
R	Move the pointer to the right (Right)
U	Increment the current pointed cell by 1 (Up)
D	Decrement the current pointer cell by 1 (Down)
I	Read a single character into the current cell (Input)
O	Print the character at the current cell (Output)
LOOP	The block following it will be looped until a 0 occurs at the current cell when loop condition is checked

IMPORTANT Note:

• Give a space between two functions. For eg. write R U L and not RUL
• Current Data Value is abbreviated as CDV.
• Data Pointer is abbreviated as DP.

II. VARIABLES

1. char* _P

The Data Pointer

2. TINY_RAMBUFF

Determines the memory occupied (in bytes)

3. TINY_MODE

Determines whether increment / decrement of CDV can be done outside the limits of 1 byte (-128 to 127, both inclusive).

• open - No limits. This means if CDV = 127, an increment would give -128 (8 bit binary addition)
• locked - Arithmetic done within limits. If CDV = -128, further decrement will not occur

4. LOOP

Alias name for while(*_P)

5. CDV

Alias name for *_P

6. DP

Alias name for _P

III. FUNCTIONS

1. O:

• Def: void _O();
• "Output"
• Prints the ASCII character at the CDV

2. I:

• Def: void _I();
• "Input"
• Input one character from standard input at the CDV

3. U:

• Def: void _U();
• "Up"
• Increments the CDV by 1 (8 bit binary addition)
• If TINY_MODE is locked, increments within range

4. D:

• Def: void _D();
• "Down"
• Decrements the CDV by 1 (8 bit binary subtraction)
• If TINY_MODE is locked, decrements within range

5. L:

• Def: void _L();
• "Left"
• Moves the DP backward by 1 byte (move left)

6. R:

• Def: void _R();
• "Right"
• Moves the DP forward by 1 byte (move right)

7. LOOP:

• It's an alias for while(*_P)
• Loops till CDV is 0
• Can be used to create loop blocks like so:
  • LOOP{ U U U }
  • This logically increments CDV by 3.

IV. ADDITIONAL CONTENT

1. Comments can be used normally.
2. C Labels can be used to mark processes.
3. Code written as shown in demo.cpp makes it look intuitive.
