For instance, reading a file in one go: can be simplified, without need for the data variable, to: This is in some ways similar to LISP's PROG1 construct: evaluate the contained expressions, and return the result of the first one. 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. Classes in C++ started out as structs, so I take a minimal struct as example, with generic get and set methods. Bertrand Russell commented that the author "has revealed a new calculus, of great power and simplicity" (somehow sounds like Tcl;^). The discoverer, Second Edition, determines the stack balance of the first text, and tests only those programs of the same partition: But now for the trying. After version 8.0/8.0, the unusually fast development of Tcl/Tk has slowed to a more normal pace. Note that with this mapping, all valid programs (bytecode sequences) correspond to one unique non-negative integer, and longer programs have higher integers associated: Now out for discovery! # predecessor function, when for integers. All bits are initialized to 0. Tcl (pronounced "tickle" or as an initialism) is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language.It was designed with the goal of being very simple but powerful. They're great practice and fun to do! The cute name "e.g." Discussion: With the above code, it was possible to reproduce quite some behavior of streams as documented in SICP, not as data structures but with Tcl procs (though procs are data too, in some sense). For instance, if the test has two inputs and wants one output, the stack balance is -1 (one less out than in). and let's discuss it. Here I want to explore how a database can be implemented in the Tcl spirit of simplicity, and how far that approach takes us. Retrieving fields that may not physically exist needs a tolerant access function: In a classical database we have to define tables: which fields of what type and of which width. # 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. Let's change that "a" can have only two values, "" or <>, so we might try to solve the expression by assuming all possible values for a, and see if they differ. 5. converting Java app to Tcl/Tk ( new thread for all the tcl/tk itcl gurus) 6. #-- Move tape Left or Right as specified in rule. Tcl - Logical Operators. 122 exercises to help you write better code. The toplevel proc takes a paired list of inputs and expected output. of Tcl. Implementation is as a "little-endian" list of integers, where bits 0..31 are in the first list element, 32..63 in the second, etc. The partitioning helps very much in reducing the number of candidates. It is however easy to build an interpreter for a language in Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) like Forth, Postscript, or Joy, and experiment with it. Getting more daring, let's try a distributive law: Daring more: what if we postulate the equivalence? is a popular function with super-exponential growth. but my program set (nmax=30000) ends at 5-byte codes, so even by giving another test to force discovery of the real thing, it would never reach a 7-byte code. reports the results as wanted in the paper, on stdout: Streams are a powerful concept in (not only functional) programming. ;-): And beyond industry-standard SQL, we can search multiple indices in one query: gives you all (case-independent) occurrences of MARK, be it in patron's names, book's authors or titles. Ramanujan numbers: The pairs generator can be used to find Ramanujan numbers, which can be represented as the sum of two integer cubes in more than one way. Example: An existence map of ZIP codes between 00000 and 99999 can be kept in a list of 3125 integers (where each element requires about 15 bytes overall), while implementing the map as an array would take 100000 * 42 bytes in worst case, but still more than a bit vector if the population isn't extremely sparse in that case, a list of 1-bit positions, retrieved with lsearch, might be more efficient in memory usage. Runtime of bit vector accesses is constant, except when a vector has to be extended to much larger length. 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. Before we start, a word of warning: maintaining state of a procedure is done with default arguments that may be rewritten. In both cond and body you may use the variable args that holds the problem command unknown was invoked with. In addition to extensive program-ming work on Tcl, Clif offers Tcl/Tk training sessions with in-class exercises. Like in real life, test cases have to be carefully chosen. true. 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. Tcl is no different. * Edit and save ex1proc.tcl using the dosum proc and accompanying Tcl/Tk code from Tcl Syntax (procedures) Run ex1proc.tcl. 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. Such process chains can be emulated in Tcl with the following rules: A stream is modelled here as a procedure that returns one stream item on each call. In the opposite direction, we can call a Boolean function by its number and provide one or more arguments if we give more than the function can make sense of, non-false excess arguments lead to constant falsity, as the integer can be considered zero-extended: So f(n) 14 indeed behaves like the OR function little surprise, as its truth table (the results of the four calls), read bottom-up, 1110, is decimal 14 (8 + 4 + 2). Tcl is much similar to other unix shell languages like Bourne Shell (Sh), the C Shell (csh), the Korn Shell (sh), and Perl. If both the operands are non-zero, then condition becomes true. This may be used for Boolean properties of numerically indexed sets of items. For instance, if you would like to simplify the for loop, for the typical simple cases so you can write instead. The following script. if someone mentions its name (minibot), tries to parse the message and answer. Assume variable A holds 1 and variable B holds 0, then . The following "constructor" does that, plus it normalizes the signs, reduces to lowest terms, and returns just the integer n if d==1: Conversely, this "deconstructor" splits zero or more rational or integer strings into num and den variables, such that [ratsplit 1/3 a b] assigns 1 to a and 3 to b: Arithmetical helper functions can be wrapped with func if they only consist of one call of expr: Languages like Lisp and Python have the docstring feature, where a string in the beginning of a function can be retrieved for on-line (or printed) documentation. To extend Tcl, i.e. Tcl/Tk for Programmers introduces high-level Tcl/Tk scripting language to experienced programmers with either Unix or Windows backgrounds. Genres Programming. which is shorter and simpler, but meddles more directly with the stack. Exercise 1 - Tcl procedure. So let's get the pieces together. Adding "records" to the table is as easy as. TCL Scripting Training. So [or] == 0 and [and] == 1. J's "from" operator { takes zero or more elements from a list, possibly repeatedly. For example, in. Any proc must however be called in compliance with Tcl's fundamental syntax: first word is the command name, then the arguments separated by whitespace. The language is commonly used for rapid prototyping, scripted applications, GUIs, and testing. Nth Prime I started with Backus' first Functional Program example. 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). Functions in Tcl are typically written with the proc command. However, it fails to work if we add the successor of 0 as another test case: Nothing coming because zero division made the last test fail. 2. looking for: Tcl/Tk exercises (please) 3. The author (Richard Suchenwirth) declares them to be fully in the public domain. Here I use a global array for recording results: delivers in hardly noticeable time the R. numbers 1729, 4104, 13832 Or, how's this infinite Fibonacchi number generator, which on more fibo produces all the F.numbers (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21) you might want? Filters may be characterized as "selectors" (who may return only part of their input, like "grep") and/or "appliers" who call a command on their input and return the result. So I tried with another a^2+b^2=c^2 set, and HEUREKA! The following example code opens a file, configures it to binary translation (i.e. Enrol for e-learning course for self paced learning. 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. 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. Streams in general should not be written in brackets (then the Tcl parser would eagerly evaluate them before evaluating the command), but braced, and stream consumers eval the stream at their discretion. They always return a result (even if it is the empty string ""), so to call them functions might be most appropriate. Tcl's lists are well suited to represent sets. As a second step, we create the If command that wraps the expr invocation: This again passes impromptu tests, and adds the feature that any non-zero value counts as true and returns 1 if we neglect the other syntactic options of if, especially the elseif chaining. # Multiple documentation lines are allowed. After version 8.0/8.0, the unusually fast development of Tcl/Tk has slowed to a more normal pace. Try to swap the inputs: Another dirty trick: get square root of 4, add to 3 presto, 5. To find out how big a paper format is, one can measure an instance with a ruler, or look up appropriate documentation. 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;-). 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. Tcl is a popular and widely used cross-platform script programming language that achieves significant productivity gains when used by skilled engineers. If bitval is given, sets the bit at numeric position position to 1 if bitval != 0, else to 0; in any case returns the bit value at specified position. For clearer code, it is advisable to factor out frequent operations into procs, e.g. For functional composition, where, say for two functions f and g. again a proc is created that does the bracket nesting: Why Backus used Transpose on the input, wasn't first clear to me, but as he (like we Tclers) represents a matrix as a list of rows, which are again lists (also known as vectors), it later made much sense to me. Tcl provides the syntax so that the DSL designer can focus on the grammar. Hence, streams can be (and typically are) nested for processing purposes. If any of the two operands is non-zero, then . # Here is another stream producer that returns elements from a list: # This one repeats its list endlessly, so better use it with 'more': # This is sugar for first-time assignment of static variables: # But for a simple constant stream source, just use [subst]: # more {subst 1};# will produce as many ones as you wish. This can be plugged into a filter chain to see what's going on: # or, to get a stream of even numbers, starting from 0: "to recall is to call -- (1 || 1) == 1", "PONG [info hostname] [lindex [split $line] 1]", "Try http://wiki.tcl.tk/[lindex $args end]", "Why do [string map {I you my your your my you me} $args]? There are over 200 exercises with solutions that run on both Unix and Windows platforms. In that situation, you can fall back to the (otherwise slower, and uglier) use of a dedicated iterator: But neither can you filter the keys you will get with a glob pattern, nor may you add or delete array elements in the loop the search will be immediately terminated. Here's the "bytecode engine" (ebc: execute byte code), which retrieves the implementations of bytecodes from the global array cmd: Let's now populate the bytecode collection. And three nested calls to vec are sufficient to produce the divisors list:). This result (0 or 1) is substituted for the first word of this command. Tcl was designed for creating domain-specific languages. Introduction to the Tcl 3 Language The next ve chapters constitute a Tcl language tutorial. Tcl/Tk for Programmers is an introduction to the high-level Tcl/Tk scripting language for experienced programmers with either Unix or Windows background. Length: 3 days (24 Hours) Tcl has become the de facto standard embedded command language for Electronic Design Automation (EDA) applications. The source files for Tcl programs are named with the extension ".tcl". This idea may have been first brought up in Functional programming (Backus 1977), if not in Forth and Joy, and it's an interesting simplification compared to the lambda calculus. If they don't, we have found a fact that isn't dependent on the variable's value, and the resulting constant is returned, otherwise the unsolved expression: with a helper function in that reports containment of an element in a list: which means, in expr terms, {(!$a || $a) == 1}, for all values of a. This way, they are "pure values" and can be passed e.g. Creating a new syntax for a DSL would defeat the purpose of Tcl. 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. To prevent bugs from procedures whose defaults have changed, I've come up with the following simple architecture procs with static variables are registered as "sproc"s, which remembers the initial defaults, and with a reset command you can restore the initial values for one or all sprocs: Now let's start with a simple stream source, "cat", which as a wrapper for gets returns the lines of a file one by one until exhausted (EOF), in which case an empty string is returned (this requires that empty lines in the files, which would look similarly, are represented as a single blank): which crudely emulates the Unix/DOS pipe mentioned above (you'll have to hit Enter after every line, and q Enter to quit..). ", as it might also stand for factorial and see the shortest function body I ever wrote:^): Without big mention, functions implemented by recursion have a pattern for which func is well suited (see fac and gcd above). Notice that so far we have only defined one short proc, all other operations were done with built-in Tcl commands only. Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a very powerful but easy to learn dynamic programming language, suitable for a very wide range of uses, including web and desktop applications, networking, administration, testing and many more. through functions that take a table and return a table. I rather wanted to explore some of these concepts and how to use them in Tcl, so that in slightly more verbose words I could code (and call). Here's typical set operations. The following "General Problem Solver" (for small values of General) uses heavy metaprogramming: it. In these Tcl experiments, I use "" for "" and angle-brackets <> for the overbar-hook (with zero or more operands in between). was instigated by the fact that in J, "NB." A collateral advantage is that all expressions are braced, without me having to care. The goto command is defined "locally", and deleted after leaving the state machine it is not meaningfully used outside of it. It aims at providing ability for programs to interact with other programs and also for acting as an embeddable interpreter. Completing it unlocks the rest of the Tcl Track. 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. Note that +/ is considered one operator, which applies the "adverb" folding to the "verb" addition (one might well call it "sum"). 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). These 20 syntax will definitely help you lot to start and improve your tcl scripting a lot. 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. That's all. They think it's a programing (like software programing) and they are in VLSI Industry to do some hardware related job. But func isn't limited to math functions (which, especially when recursive, come out nice), but for expr uses in testing predicates as well: Exposing expr binary arithmetic operators as Tcl commands goes quite easy too: For "-", we distinguish unary and binary form: Having the modulo operator exposed, gcd now looks nicer: For unary not I prefer that name to "! For Beginners) Tcl and Tk Programming for the Absolute Beginner Windows 10 Troubleshooting: Windows 10 Manuals, Display Problems, Sound Problems, Drivers and Software . Discover new exercises as you progress and get engrossed in learning new concepts and improving the way you currently write. Here are some Tcl codelets to demonstrate how all Boolean operations can be expressed in terms of the single NAND operator, which returns true if not both his two inputs are true (NOR would have done equally well). Implication (if a then b, a -> b) can in expr be expressed as $a <= $b just note that the "arrow" seems to point the wrong way. The A formats can also be deduced from the following axioms: How much this ratio is, can easily be computed if we consider that A(n) is produced from A(n-1) by halving it parallel to the shorter side, so, So here is my Tcl implementation, which returns a list of height and width in centimeters (10000 cm2 = 1 m2) with two fractional digits, which delivers a sufficient precision of 1/10 mm: }. TCL is string based scripting language and also a procedural language. Other streams may provide a finite but very large number of elements, which would be impractical to process in one go. Tcl is a high-level language well suited for rapid development and prototyping. Tk is an extension, developed by the creator of Tcl, used for creating scripts that interact with users through windows. It is a scripting language that aims at providing the ability for applications to communicate with each other. The authors provide sample chapters available to download for free. following Backus' FP language with the "Def" command. A further optimization could be to tally value strings, and replace the frequent ones with "@$id", where db(@$id) holds the value once, and only db'get has to be adapted to redirect the query. Only decades later, a hint in the Tcl chatroom pointed me to http://csc.smsu.edu/~shade/333/project.txt , an assignment to implement a Deterministic Turing Machine (i.e. A math book showed me the Stirling approximation to n! So, put the following source code in a test.tcl file. This is provided e.g. Here is a routine for querying or setting single bits in vectors, where bits are addressed by non-negative integers. For instance, we want all books printed before 1980: We might also store our patrons in the same database (here in a different style): Without a concept of "tables", we can now introduce structures like in relational databases. Its combination of text processing, file manipulation and system control features make it ideal for this purpose. All the rest would be there. lines make the self-test; otherwise they just illustrate how the operations should work. "Hello, World!" is the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language or environment. Unique IDs can be had by just counting up (incrementing the highest ID so far). Rules in this little challenge are of the form a bcD e, where, Here's my naive implementation, which takes the tape just as the string it initially is. }, can be represented by their truth table, which for example for {$a && $b} looks like: As all but the last column just enumerate all possible combinations of the arguments, first column least-significant, the full representation of a&&b is the last column, a sequence of 0s and 1s which can be seen as binary integer, reading from bottom up: 1 0 0 0 == 8. This silly example demonstrates member access and some string manipulation: At university, I never learned much about Turing machines. Letter and Legal paper formats are popular in the US and other places. For this we need to implement the construction operator, which is sort of inverse mapping while mapping a function over a sequence of inputs produces a sequence of outputs of that function applied to each input, Backus' construction maps a sequence of functions over one input to produce a sequence of results of each function to that input, e.g. bit foo 32 will turn foo into a list of two integers, if it was only one before. personal mentoring, Testing: Here's a different way to do it la functional programming: The body is nice and short, but consists of all unfamiliar commands. In a nutshell, his FP system comprises. Compared to an RPN language, hypot would be. Deeper changes are possible with the unknown command, which is called if a command name is, well, unknown, and in the standard version tries to call executables, to auto-load scripts, or do other helpful things (see the file init.tcl). See all Tcl exercises Get started with the Tcl track The best part, it's 100% free for everyone. This chapter provides an overview of the Tcl syntax, data structures, and enough commands to develop applications. 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. Easily done in a few lines of Tcl code: The code does not directly puts its results, but returns them as a string you might want to do other things with it, e.g. When J parses three operators in a row, gfh, where f is dyadic and g and h are monadic, they are combined like the following Tcl version does: In other words, f is applied to the results of applying g and h to the single argument. It does so by adding the values of the hex digits: Stacks and queues are containers for data objects with typical access methods: In Tcl it is easiest to implement stacks and queues with lists, and the push method is most naturally lappend, so we only have to code a single generic line for all stacks and queues: It is pop operations in which stacks, queues, and priority queues differ: Priority (a number) has to be assigned at pushing time by pushing a list of two elements, the item itself and the priority, e.g.. Clif first learned to program in high school in machine language on a Monroe 600 programmable . by one the binary operators +-*/. Saving also goes a good way to what is ceremonially called "committing" (you'll need write-locking for multi-user systems), while loading (without saving before) might be called a "one-level rollback", where you want to discard your latest changes.
