@std

The @std module provides the most essential functions for any EZ program, including output to the console and basic type information.

Import

import @std

Functions

println()

(values ...type) -> void

Prints one or more values to stdout, followed by a newline.

std.println("Hello, World!")
std.println("The answer is:", 42)
std.println("x =", x, "y =", y)

Parameters: Any number of values of any type.

Returns: Nothing.

print()

(values ...type) -> void

Prints one or more values to stdout without a trailing newline.

std.print("Enter your name: ")
temp name string = input()
std.println("Hello, " + name)

Parameters: Any number of values of any type.

Returns: Nothing.

eprintln()

(values ...type) -> void

Prints one or more values to stderr, followed by a newline.

std.eprintln("Error:", "something failed")
std.eprintln("Warning: invalid input")

Parameters: Any number of values of any type.

Returns: Nothing.

eprint()

(values ...type) -> void

Prints one or more values to stderr without a trailing newline.

std.eprint("Error: ")
std.eprintln("connection failed")

Parameters: Any number of values of any type.

Returns: Nothing.

sleep_seconds()

(int) -> void

Pauses execution for the specified number of seconds.

std.println("Starting...")
std.sleep_seconds(2)
std.println("Done!")  // Printed 2 seconds later

Parameters: Number of seconds to sleep (must be non-negative).

Returns: Nothing.

sleep_milliseconds()

(int) -> void

Pauses execution for the specified number of milliseconds.

std.sleep_milliseconds(500)  // Sleep for half a second

Parameters: Number of milliseconds to sleep (must be non-negative).

Returns: Nothing.

sleep_nanoseconds()

(int) -> void

Pauses execution for the specified number of nanoseconds.

std.sleep_nanoseconds(1000000)  // Sleep for 1 millisecond

Parameters: Number of nanoseconds to sleep (must be non-negative).

Returns: Nothing.

Example Program

import @std

do main() {
    // Print with newline
    std.println("Welcome to EZ!")
    std.println("The answer is:", 42)

    // Print without newline
    std.print("Enter your name: ")
    temp name string = input()
    std.println("Hello, " + name + "!")

    // Print to stderr
    std.eprintln("Warning:", "this is a warning message")

    // Sleep functions
    std.println("Waiting 1 second...")
    std.sleep_seconds(1)
    std.println("Done!")
}
