Code Examples

Here are some clean examples of BigC v0.5 in action.

1. Hello World

The classic entry point. Demonstrates basic assignment, interpolation, and math.

# hello.big
Name = "BigCoder"
print "Hello, $Name!"

# Math
get 10 5 + & set as {Result}
print "10 + 5 = $Result"

2. Simple Web Server

Using the BigWeb engine to host a basic page.

# web_demo.big
use web

start chapter Home
    reply with "<h1>Welcome to BigC Web</h1>"
end chapter

on get "/" run Home
print "Listening on 8080..."
start server at 8080

3. Basic Calculator

Demonstrates user input (take response) and synchronization (wait type export).

# calc.big
print "Enter a number:"
take response
wait type export
Num1 = export

print "Enter another number:"
take response
wait type export
Num2 = export

get Num1 Num2 + & set as {Sum}
print "Sum: $Sum"

4. The Wiki Source (Recursive Example)

This very website is a BigC program! Here is a simplified version of the logic running bigc.ponpyin.org.

# wiki_source.big
use web

# -- PRE-LOAD --
open "pages/home.big" & set as {HomeContent}

# -- RENDERER --
start chapter Render
    get markdown HomeContent & set as {Html}
    reply with "<html><body>$Html</body></html>"
end chapter

# -- ROUTES --
on get "/" run Render

# -- START --
print "Wiki Server Running..."
start server at 8080
