Bloa Documentation

Bloa uses a clean, readable syntax inspired by modern programming languages. Statements end with newlines, and blocks are enclosed in curly braces {}.

Variables are dynamically typed and declared using the assignment operator =.

x = 42
name = "Bloa"
is_active = true
list = [1, 2, 3]
pi = 3.14159

If/Else

if x > 10 {
  say("x is greater than 10")
} else if x == 10 {
  say("x is 10")
} else {
  say("x is less than 10")
}

While Loop

i = 0
while i < 5 {
  say("i = " + str(i))
  i = i + 1
}

For Loop

for i = 0; i < 5; i = i + 1 {
  say("i = " + str(i))
}

function greet(name) {
  say("Hello, " + name + "!")
}

function add(a, b) {
  return a + b
}

greet("Bloa")
result = add(5, 3)
say("5 + 3 = " + str(result))

class Person {
  function __init__(self, name, age) {
    self.name = name
    self.age = age
  }

  function greet(self) {
    say("Hi, I'm " + self.name)
  }
}

person = Person("Alice", 30)
person.greet()

Import external modules with the import keyword:

import math
import utils.helpers

result = math.sqrt(16)
say("sqrt(16) = " + str(result))
