Z3
z^3 is an easy to write, natural to read, language powered by high performance computing.
This page gives you information about z^3 language, operators, functions etc.
Introduction
Why another programming language? Do we not have enough of them?
Well, let us try this real world experiment. Go to the best programmer you know. Pick the simplest formula you can think of: E=mc2. Ask how the Energy (E) can be calculated, for a mass (m) of 1kg, 2kg, 3kg,… 10kg and for a constant Speed of Light (3x10^8m/s). And let us just watch the programmer for what happens next. Yes, go ahead and start a stop watch!
Likely that the programmer would pull up a spreadsheet and type formulae notation such as shown below, to do this, within a minute or so.
C | =3*10^8 |
M | Energy |
1 | =D5*$E$3^2 |
=D5+1 | =D6*$E$3^2 |
=D6+1 | =D7*$E$3^2 |
=D7+1 | =D8*$E$3^2 |
=D8+1 | =D9*$E$3^2 |
=D9+1 | =D10*$E$3^2 |
=D10+1 | =D11*$E$3^2 |
=D11+1 | =D12*$E$3^2 |
=D12+1 | =D13*$E$3^2 |
=D13+1 | =D14*$E$3^2 |
Or maybe, the programmer would make a program, in a computer language to do this, and will come back to you in about an hour!
Well, this shows the poor state of the current state of the art computer human interaction. Today, an ordinary computer can do billions of operations per second. And even with the best techniques, translating from our human language to computer language takes minutes or hours!
Now, what if,
if we could just say:
Energy:=m*(3*10^8)^2
Energy@1..10
And the results come out:
m | Energy |
1 | 90000000000000000 |
2 | 180000000000000000 |
3 | 270000000000000000 |
4 | 360000000000000000 |
5 | 450000000000000000 |
6 | 540000000000000000 |
7 | 630000000000000000 |
8 | 720000000000000000 |
9 | 810000000000000000 |
10 | 900000000000000000 |
Or let us imagine you wanted to create an array of 9 rows and 9 columns and with 9 cells each in 3 dimensions, and z^3 would give this to you with the command:
|9x9x9|

Wow!
That is why we created a simple Language for you and the machine called: z^3.
Editor and Short cut Keys
In the code editor, generally, you can type the function name (case sensitive), and Shift+Enter will give you parameter expansion. Say CUBEROOT and Shift+Enter will give you CUBEROOT(Number)
or PMT Shift+Enter will give you PMT(Rate,NoPaymentPeriods,PresentValue,FutureValue,Type)
Generally z^3 Editor automatically shows a listbox with likely functions that you could use given a few letters.
Code expansion also works with things like for, ifelse, switch, zswitch, zif, etc. Simply press Shift+Enter after you type the term.
Say, type FOR and then press Shift+Enter.
Errors are highlighted immediately to give you help with typing things in correctly.
Most functions are Combanatorial. That means you can run them as: PMT((12..20)%,12,1000) or SQRT(1..100) or COMBIN(10..100..10,2..3) etc.
How to type Special Characters
Say you want to type the character for pi. Simply type pi and press Shift+Space. This will automatically convert it to π. To get the between operator, type bet and Shift+Space to get ⧓. 40 deg Shift+Space gives 40°.

Logical Statements
If Statements
a=3; (a<0)::{"whatever"}, { !(a>4):: {"whateverelse"}, {"whateverelseleft"} } (a>4):: {"whateverelse"}, {"whateverelseleft"}
Switch Statements
Apart from the conventional Javascript switch statement syntax, z^3 enhances language simplicity with a new style.
The new z^3 switch statements syntax is as follows.
discriminant::: { x, y:: /*statements to be executed if x or y is true*/ /*Break is automatically added. */ /*Simply add an empty statement using a simple extra semicolon (;)) */ , z:: /*statements to be executed if z is true*/ , default:: }
For example, b=0; c=343; fruits="mango"; fruits::: { "apple","tomato":: b++; c=3.4; , "mango":: b=34905; , default:: b=45.6; } [b,c]; switch(a) { case b: case c: break; default: break; }
If switch discriminant is true, then case clauses can have a condition.
x=1; y=2; z=4; true::: { x<2::z=45; x>2::z=56; } z
Loops
a=1; do { a++ } until(a>20); // do while(!condition) a; // here this will be 21, since !condition is checked like a do while loop. a=11; b=45; because(a<b) { a++ OUTPUT(a) } a=11; do { a++ } unless(a==11); a;
Function Declarations
function y(x) { ∵(x<345) { ∴(x+3434) } ∵(x>345) { ∴(x-3434) } } y(13); The letter Ƒ can also be used instead of the full term function. Ƒ y(x) { ∵(x<345) { ∴(x+3434) } ∵(x>345) { ∴(x-3434) } } y(13);
Existential Quantification
a=1..100; ∀a("x<810") ∃a("x<810") ∄a("x<810") a=1..100; [∀a("x<810"),∃a("x<810"),∄a("x<810")] a=1..100; [∀a("x<810"),∃a("x<810"),(!∄a("x<0"))] a=1..100; b= ∀a("y*2<200"); b.result a=1..100; b= ∀a("y*2<=50"); a.pick(b.result) //make a pick operator based on a similar array of true false. or non-existant to get the values out. //PICK a=1..100; b= ∀a("y*2<50"); a.pick(b.result)
