# CuttingChai: A Simple, Desi-Flavored Custom Programming Language.
**CuttingChai** ☕🫖 is a simple programming language designed with an **Indian flavor**. It supports basic data types, variables, conditional logic, and arrays. It lets you write `.chai` files and execute them using an easy-to-use CLI interface.🍵
## Prerequisites
Before installing CuttingChai, ensure you have the following setup on your system:
- **Node.js**: Ensure that Node.js is installed. You can download it from [here](https://nodejs.org/).
## Installation
To install CuttingChai, use npm (Node Package Manager). Run the following command in your terminal:
```bash
npm install -g cuttingchai
```
This will install the cuttingchai compiler 🫖 globally on your system, making the chai command available anywhere in your terminal.
## To Increase Productivity Download vs Code Extension

**--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
## Usage
After installing, you can create `.chai` files, which are cuttingchai scripts, and run them using the CLI.
Steps:
Create a file with the extension `.chai`. For example, example.chai.
Write your cuttingchai code in this file. (See syntax below)
Run the following command in your terminal:
```bash
chai example.chai
```
The cuttingchai CLI will interpret the code and output the results in the terminal.

## CuttingChai Features
## Supported Data Types
CuttingChai supports the following data types:
1. **number:** Used to store integer values.
2. **bool:** Boolean values representing true or false.
3. **chaistring:** String literals enclosed in double quotes.
4. **GOD:** A constant value (similar to const in JavaScript).
5. **array:** An array to store multiple values of the same type.
**--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
Data Types Syntax and Examples
1. # number
**Range**: Integer values (positive or negative).
**Syntax**:`` number <variableName> = <value>``
Example:
```
number age = 25
chaiprint age
```
Output:
```
25
```
**--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
2. # bool
**Values**: true or false.
**Syntax**: ``bool <variableName> = <true|false>``
Example:
```
bool isStudent = true
chaiprint isStudent
```
Output:
```
true
```
**--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
3. # chaistring
**Description**: String values enclosed in double quotes.
**Syntax**: ``chaistring <variableName> = "<value>"``
Example:
```
chaistring name = "Kashyap"
chaiprint name
```
Output:
```
Kashyap
```
**--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
4. # GOD
**Description**: Used to define constants.
**Syntax**: ``GOD <constantName> = <value>``
Example:
```
GOD pi = 314159
chaiprint pi
```
Output:
```
314159
```
**--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
5. # array
**Description**: Arrays to store multiple values of the same type.
**Syntax**: ``array <dataType> <arrayName> = [<value1>, <value2>, ...]``
Example:
```
array number masala = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
chaiprint masala
array chaistring spices = ["pepper", "salt", "cumin"]
chaiprint spices
```
Output:
```
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
["pepper", "salt", "cumin"]
```
**--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
# Conditional Statements: ``sahichai`` and ``galatchai``
CuttingChai provides a simple if-else logic using ``sahichai`` (if) and ``galatchai`` (else).
**Syntax**:
```
sahichai <condition>
// code to execute if condition is true
galatchai
// code to execute if condition is false
```
**Example**:
```
number x = 10
sahichai x < 15
chaiprint "x is less than 15"
galatchai
chaiprint "x is greater than or equal to 15"
```
**output**:
```
x is less than 15
```
**--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
**Example Usage**
Here’s a sample ``.chai`` file demonstrating variable declarations, printing, and conditionals:
example.chai:
```
number x = 10
bool isTrue = true
GOD pi = 314159
chaistring name = "Kashyap"
chaiprint name
chaiprint x
array number masala = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
array chaistring spices = ["pepper", "salt", "cumin"]
chaiprint masala
chaiprint spices
sahichai 20 < 29
chaiprint "20 is smaller than 29"
galatchai
chaiprint "29 is bigger than 20"
```
To run the code:
**1. Create the .chai file:**
```
touch example.chai
```
**2.Write the code inside example.chai.**
**3.Run it:**
```
chai example.chai
```
Enjoy coding with **CuttingChai! 🍵**
