# yip

yip is a toy interpreted functional programming language.

**NOTE**: Currently in the process of being re-written in zig.

### Example

1. Square root approximation with binary search

```clj

; Find the square root of a number using binary search

(fn sqrt [x]

    (do

        (set tolerance 1e-15) ; up to 15 digit accuracy.

        (set low 0)

        (set high x)

        (set guess (/ (+ low high) 2))

        (while (> (abs (- (* guess guess) x)) tolerance)

            (do

                (if (< (* guess guess) x)

                    (swap low guess)

                    (swap high guess)) ; else

                (swap guess (/ (+ low high) 2))))

        (write "The square root of " x " is: " guess)))

(sqrt [2]) ; print out 1.414213562373095
