Thinking in z^3

This is a quick introduction to the z^3 language (pronounced as "zcubes language").

z^3 is an easy to write, natural to read, language powered by high performance computing. Learn z^3 Language in detail by clicking this link.

An introduction to z^3 Code Mode in ZCubes is detailed below.

Code Mode in ZCubes

To test the ZCubes platform in code mode,Visit https://code.zcubes.com

ZCubes in Code Mode

Enter code in the code editor and press run to execute.

Running z^3 code in ZCubes Browser (or) ZAP Desktop Interface

If you open a Code Command Editor in ZCubes platform, clicking on the keyboard icon on top right (⌨) shows (and toggles) the Keyboard Helper for z^3 language as given below. In ZCubes Code Mode, this panel is automatically shown. Clicking on ? shows helpful information on editor key commands. Clicking on # shows a list of functions or member functions that can be used in the context. ⇕ and ◱ allow resizing the code editor window in different ways. Pressing Run runs the code. Ctrl+Run will evaluate current selection in the editor. Shift+Run will evaluate current active line in the code editor. If the Browser Debugger is switched on, and if Debug button is pressed, the code inside can be debugged in the browser debugger itself.

Pick Unit type and get access to Units supported by z^3 to be used in programs and conversions.

Constants Panel

ZCubes Code Mode Constants Panel

Pick to insert constants with units supported by z^3 into the code editor to be used in programs and conversions.

Greeks Panel

ZCubes Code Mode Greeks Panel

Pick upper and lower case Greek letters to code with.

Letters and Numbers Panel

ZCubes Code Mode Letters and Numbers Panel

Combinators Panel

ZCubes Code Mode Combinator Quick Panel

This panel gives easy access to Array Combinators and Global Combinators. See Combinators for more details.

Code Template Panel

ZCubes Code Mode Code Template Panel

Insert code templates for quick insertion into the Code Editor.







Several of the key features are listed below, with examples. Code segments below can be copied and pasted to the ZCubes code editor to execute.

Scaling Up

z^3 can be used in a variety of platforms, and for any scale of programs. The versatility of the language makes it very useful to solve intricate problems, and we hope the language may trigger everyone to think of programming logic as a natural part of intellectual activity.

Simple. Powerful. Versatile.
