## C Power, Pascal Clarity
CP-Lang is a modern programming language that combines **C99 semantics with Pascal-style syntax**, giving you the raw power and flexibility of C with the clean, readable elegance of Pascal.
### Why CP-Lang?
- **🚀 C99 Performance** - Full access to pointers, manual memory management, and low-level system programming
- **📖 Pascal Readability** - Clean, self-documenting syntax that's easy to read and maintain
- **🔧 Modern Features** - Variable declarations anywhere, conditional expressions, and contemporary language conveniences
- **⚡ Zero Overhead** - Compiles to efficient native code with no runtime penalties
- **🔄 Familiar Yet Fresh** - Easy transition for C and Pascal developers
## Quick Example
```pascal
#include
function main(): int32
begin
var msg: char := "Hello, CP-Lang!";
var count: int32 := 42;
if count > 0 then
printf("%s Count: %d\n", msg, count)
else
printf("Nothing to count\n");
return 0;
end
```
## Key Features
### 🎯 **Hybrid Design**
- C99 logic and capabilities under the hood
- Pascal's clean, structured syntax on the surface
- Best of both worlds without compromise
### 🔧 **Rich Type System**
```pascal
// Basic types
var x: int32 := 100;
var y: float := 3.14;
var flag: bool := true;
// Sized integers
var byte_val: uint8 := 255;
var big_num: int64 := 9223372036854775807;
// Pointers and arrays
var ptr: ^int32;
var numbers: array[10] of int32;
// Records (structs)
type Point = record
x, y: float;
end;
```
### ⚙️ **Powerful Control Flow**
```pascal
// Pascal-style for loops
var i: int32;
for i := 1 to 10 do
printf("Count: %d\n", i);
for i := 1 to 100 do
process(i);
// Pattern matching
case value of
1..10: printf("Small");
11..50: printf("Medium");
else
printf("Large");
end
```
### 🔗 **C99 Compatibility**
```pascal
#include
function allocate_buffer(): ^char
begin
var buffer: ^char := malloc(1024);
return buffer;
end
```
