LOLCODE is an esoteric programming language designed to resemble the speech of [lolcats](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ab/Lolcat_in_folder.jpg?1493656347257).

BTW This is an inline comment

BTW All code must begin with `HAI <language version>` and end with `KTHXBYE`

TLDR

|
|
BTW Displaying text:
|
|
VISIBLE "HELLO WORLD"
|
|
|
|
BTW Declaring variables:
|
|
I HAS A MESSAGE ITZ "CATZ ARE GOOD"
|
|
VISIBLE MESSAGE
|

OBTW

|
(This is a codeblock.) Variables are dynamically typed so you don't need to
|
|
declare their type. A variable's type matches its content. These are the
|
|
types:
|
|
TLDR
|
|
|
|
I HAS A STRING ITZ "DOGZ ARE GOOOD" BTW type is YARN
|
|
I HAS A INTEGER ITZ 42 BTW type is NUMBR
|
|
I HAS A FLOAT ITZ 3.1415 BTW type is NUMBAR
|
|
I HAS A BOOLEAN ITZ WIN BTW type is TROOF
|
|
I HAS A UNTYPED BTW type is NOOB
|
|
|
|
BTW Accepting user input:
|
|
I HAS A AGE
|
|
GIMMEH AGE
|
|
BTW The variable is stored as a YARN. To convert it into NUMBR:
|
|
AGE IS NOW A NUMBR
|

TLDR

BTW LOLCODE uses polish notation style math.
|
|
|
|
BTW Basic mathematical notation:
|
|
|
|
SUM OF 21 AN 33 BTW 21 + 33
|
|
DIFF OF 90 AN 10 BTW 90 - 10
|
|
PRODUKT OF 12 AN 13 BTW 12 * 13
|
|
QUOSHUNT OF 32 AN 43 BTW 32 / 43
|
|
MOD OF 43 AN 64 BTW 43 modulo 64
|
|
BIGGR OF 23 AN 53 BTW max(23, 53)
|
|
SMALLR OF 53 AN 45 BTW min(53, 45)
|
|
|
|
BTW Binary notation:
|
|
|
|
BOTH OF WIN AN WIN BTW and: WIN if x=WIN, y=WIN
|
|
EITHER OF FAIL AN WIN BTW or: FAIL if x=FAIL, y=FAIL
|
|
WON OF WIN AN FAIL BTW xor: FAIL if x=y
|
|
NOT FAIL BTW unary negation: WIN if x=FAIL
|
|
ALL OF WIN AN WIN MKAY BTW infinite arity AND
|
|
ANY OF WIN AN FAIL MKAY BTW infinite arity OR
|
|
|
|
BTW Comparison:
|
|
|
|
BOTH SAEM "CAT" AN "DOG" BTW WIN if x == y
|
|
DIFFRINT 732 AN 184 BTW WIN if x != y
|
|
BOTH SAEM 12 AN BIGGR OF 12 AN 4 BTW x >= y
|
|
BOTH SAEM 43 AN SMALLR OF 43 AN 56 BTW x <= y
|
|
DIFFRINT 64 AN SMALLR OF 64 AN 2 BTW x > y
|
|
DIFFRINT 75 AN BIGGR OF 75 AN 643 BTW x < y
