Note
The following guide assumes that you are familiar with the basics of programming.
Numbers
Numbers are represented in base 2, using slashes and backslashes to represent 1
and 0 respectively. ` is used for the decimal point.
Negative numbers are represented as normal, with a - sign before them.
Let's see some examples of numbers:
| Base 10 | Base 2 | Samarium |
|---|---|---|
0 |
0 |
\ |
0.5 |
0.1 |
\`/ |

/ |

/\ |
2.3125 |
10.0101 |
/\`\/\/ |
3 |
11 |

5 |
101 |
/\/ |
8 |
1000 |
/\\\ |
13 |
1101 |
//\/ |
21 |
10101 |
/\/\/ |
Both the integer and decimal part of a number are optional, therefore:
/`is equivalent to/`\
`/is equivalent to\`/
`is equivalent to\`\
Integers can be cast to characters represented by that integer's unicode code point:
/\\\\/%returns"!"
//////%returns"?"
