Julia is a new homoiconic functional language focused on technical computing. While having the full power of homoiconic macros, first-class functions, and low-level control, Julia is as easy to learn and use as Python.
This is based on Julia version 1.0.0.
# Single line comments start with a hash (pound) symbol.
#= Multiline comments can be written
by putting '#=' before the text and '=#'
after the text. They can also be nested.

####################################################
## 1. Primitive Datatypes and Operators
####################################################
# Everything in Julia is an expression.
# There are several basic types of numbers.
typeof(3) # => Int64
typeof(3.2) # => Float64
typeof(2 + 1im) # => Complex{Int64}
typeof(2 // 3) # => Rational{Int64}
# All of the normal infix operators are available.
1 + 1 # => 2
8 - 1 # => 7
10 * 2 # => 20
35 / 5 # => 7.0
10 / 2 # => 5.0 # dividing integers always results in a Float64
div(5, 2) # => 2 # for a truncated result, use div
5 \ 35 # => 7.0
2^2 # => 4 # power, not bitwise xor
12 % 10 # => 2
# Enforce precedence with parentheses
(1 + 3) * 2 # => 8
# Julia (unlike Python for instance) has integer under/overflow
10^19 # => -8446744073709551616
# use bigint or floating point to avoid this
big(10)^19 # => 10000000000000000000
1e19 # => 1.0e19
10.0^19 # => 1.0e19
# Bitwise Operators
~2 # => -3 # bitwise not
3 & 5 # => 1 # bitwise and
2 | 4 # => 6 # bitwise or
xor(2, 4) # => 6 # bitwise xor
2 >>> 1 # => 1 # logical shift right
2 >> 1 # => 1 # arithmetic shift right
2 << 1 # => 4 # logical/arithmetic shift left
# Use the bitstring function to see the binary representation of a number.
bitstring(12345)
# => "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000011000000111001"
bitstring(12345.0)
# => "0100000011001000000111001000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
# Boolean values are primitives
true
false
# Boolean operators
!true # => false
!false # => true
1 == 1 # => true
2 == 1 # => false
1 != 1 # => false
2 != 1 # => true
1 < 10 # => true
1 > 10 # => false
2 <= 2 # => true
2 >= 2 # => true
# Comparisons can be chained, like in Python but unlike many other languages
1 < 2 < 3 # => true
2 < 3 < 2 # => false
# Strings are created with "
"This is a string."
# Character literals are written with '
'a'
# Strings are UTF8 encoded, so strings like "π" or "☃" are not directly equivalent
# to an array of single characters.
# Only if they contain only ASCII characters can they be safely indexed.
ascii("This is a string")[1] # => 'T'
# => 'T': ASCII/Unicode U+0054 (category Lu: Letter, uppercase)
# Beware, Julia indexes everything from 1 (like MATLAB), not 0 (like most languages).
# Otherwise, iterating over strings is recommended (map, for loops, etc).
# String can be compared lexicographically, in dictionnary order:
"good" > "bye" # => true
"good" == "good" # => true
"1 + 2 = 3" == "1 + 2 = $(1 + 2)" # => true
# $(..) can be used for string interpolation:
"2 + 2 = $(2 + 2)" # => "2 + 2 = 4"
# You can put any Julia expression inside the parentheses.
# Printing is easy
println("I'm Julia. Nice to meet you!") # => I'm Julia. Nice to meet you!
# Another way to format strings is the printf macro from the stdlib Printf.
using Printf # this is how you load (or import) a module
@printf "%d is less than %f\n" 4.5 5.3 # => 5 is less than 5.300000
####################################################
## 2. Variables and Collections
####################################################
# You don't declare variables before assigning to them.
someVar = 5 # => 5
someVar # => 5
# Accessing a previously unassigned variable is an error
try
someOtherVar # => ERROR: UndefVarError: someOtherVar not defined
catch e
println(e)
end
# Variable names start with a letter or underscore.
# After that, you can use letters, digits, underscores, and exclamation points.
SomeOtherVar123! = 6 # => 6
# You can also use certain unicode characters
# here ☃ is a Unicode 'snowman' characters, see http://emojipedia.org/%E2%98%83%EF%B8%8F if it displays wrongly here
☃ = 8 # => 8
# These are especially handy for mathematical notation, like the constant π
2 * π # => 6.283185307179586
# A note on naming conventions in Julia:
#
# * Word separation can be indicated by underscores ('_'), but use of
# underscores is discouraged unless the name would be hard to read
# otherwise.
#
# * Names of Types begin with a capital letter and word separation is shown
# with CamelCase instead of underscores.
#
# * Names of functions and macros are in lower case, without underscores.
#
# * Functions that modify their inputs have names that end in !. These
# functions are sometimes called mutating functions or in-place functions.
# Arrays store a sequence of values indexed by integers 1 through n:
a = Int64[] # => 0-element Array{Int64,1}
# 1-dimensional array literals can be written with comma-separated values.
b = [4, 5, 6] # => 3-element Array{Int64,1}: [4, 5, 6]
b = [4; 5; 6] # => 3-element Array{Int64,1}: [4, 5, 6]
b[1] # => 4
b[end] # => 6
# 2-dimensional arrays use space-separated values and semicolon-separated rows.
matrix = [1 2; 3 4] # => 2×2 Array{Int64,2}: [1 2; 3 4]
# Arrays of a particular type
b = Int8[4, 5, 6] # => 3-element Array{Int8,1}: [4, 5, 6]
# Add stuff to the end of a list with push! and append!
# By convention, the exclamation mark '!' is appended to names of functions
# that modify their arguments
push!(a, 1) # => [1]
push!(a, 2) # => [1,2]
push!(a, 4) # => [1,2,4]
push!(a, 3) # => [1,2,4,3]

# indexing expression

popfirst!(a) # => 1
a # => [2,4,3,4,5,6]
pushfirst!(a, 7) # => [7,2,4,3,4,5,6]

####################################################
## 5. Types
####################################################
# Julia has a type system.
# Every value has a type; variables do not have types themselves.
# You can use the `typeof` function to get the type of a value.
typeof(5) # => Int64
# Types are first-class values
typeof(Int64) # => DataType
typeof(DataType) # => DataType
# DataType is the type that represents types, including itself.
# Types are used for documentation, optimizations, and dispatch.
# They are not statically checked.
# Users can define types
# They are like records or structs in other languages.
# New types are defined using the `struct` keyword.
# struct Name
# field::OptionalType
# ...
# end
struct Tiger
taillength::Float64
coatcolor # not including a type annotation is the same as `::Any`
end
# The default constructor's arguments are the properties
# of the type, in the order they are listed in the definition
tigger = Tiger(3.5, "orange") # => Tiger(3.5,"orange")
# The type doubles as the constructor function for values of that type
sherekhan = typeof(tigger)(5.6, "fire") # => Tiger(5.6,"fire")
# These struct-style types are called concrete types
# They can be instantiated, but cannot have subtypes.
# The other kind of types is abstract types.
# abstract Name
abstract type Cat end # just a name and point in the type hierarchy
# Abstract types cannot be instantiated, but can have subtypes.
# For example, Number is an abstract type
subtypes(Number) # => 2-element Array{Any,1}:
# => Complex
# => Real
subtypes(Cat) # => 0-element Array{Any,1}
# AbstractString, as the name implies, is also an abstract type
subtypes(AbstractString) # => 4-element Array{Any,1}:
# => String
# => SubString
# => SubstitutionString
# => Test.GenericString
# Every type has a super type; use the `supertype` function to get it.
typeof(5) # => Int64
supertype(Int64) # => Signed
supertype(Signed) # => Integer
supertype(Integer) # => Real
supertype(Real) # => Number
supertype(Number) # => Any
supertype(supertype(Signed)) # => Real
supertype(Any) # => Any
# All of these type, except for Int64, are abstract.
typeof("fire") # => String
supertype(String) # => AbstractString
# Likewise here with String
supertype(SubString) # => AbstractString
# <: is the subtyping operator
struct Lion <: Cat # Lion is a subtype of Cat
maneColor
roar::AbstractString
end
# You can define more constructors for your type
# Just define a function of the same name as the type
# and call an existing constructor to get a value of the correct type
Lion(roar::AbstractString) = Lion("green", roar)
# This is an outer constructor because it's outside the type definition
struct Panther <: Cat # Panther is also a subtype of Cat
eyeColor
Panther() = new("green")
# Panthers will only have this constructor, and no default constructor.
end
# Using inner constructors, like Panther does, gives you control
# over how values of the type can be created.
# When possible, you should use outer constructors rather than inner ones.
####################################################
## 6. Multiple-Dispatch
####################################################
# In Julia, all named functions are generic functions
# This means that they are built up from many small methods
# Each constructor for Lion is a method of the generic function Lion.
# For a non-constructor example, let's make a function meow:
# Definitions for Lion, Panther, Tiger
function meow(animal::Lion)
animal.roar # access type properties using dot notation
end
function meow(animal::Panther)
"grrr"
end
function meow(animal::Tiger)
"rawwwr"
end
# Testing the meow function
meow(tigger) # => "rawwwr"
meow(Lion("brown", "ROAAR")) # => "ROAAR"
meow(Panther()) # => "grrr"
# Review the local type hierarchy
Tiger <: Cat # => false
Lion <: Cat # => true
Panther <: Cat # => true
