title: "Arithmetic and logic"
excerpt: "Documentation of the KCL language for the Zoo Design Studio."
layout: manual
---
KCL supports the usual arithmetic operators on numbers and logic operators on booleans:
| Operator | Meaning |
|----------|---------|
| `+` | Addition |
| `-` | Subtraction or unary negation |
| `*` | Multiplication |
| `/` | Division |
| `%` | Modulus aka remainder |
| `^` | Power, e.g., `x ^ 2` means `x` squared |
| `&` | Logical 'and' |
| `|` | Logical 'or' |
| `!` | Unary logical 'not' |
KCL also supports comparsion operators which operate on numbers and produce booleans:
| Operator | Meaning |
|----------|---------|
| `==` | Equal |
| `!=` | Not equal |
| `<` | Less than |
| `>` | Greater than |
| `<=` | Less than or equal |
| `>=` | Greater than or equal |
Arithmetics and logic expressions can be arbitrairly combined with the usual rules of associativity and precedence, e.g.,
```
myMathExpression = 3 + 1 * 2 / 3 - 7
```
You can also nest expressions in parenthesis:
```
myMathExpression = 3 + (1 * 2 / (3 - 7))
```
KCL numbers are implemented using [floating point numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic). This means that there are occasionally representation and rounding issues, and some oddities such as supporting positive and negative zero.
Some operators can be applied to other types:
- `+` can be used to concatenate strings, e.g., `'hello' + ' ' + 'world!'`
- Unary `-` can be used with planes or line-like objects such as axes to produce an object with opposite orientation, e.g., `-XY` is a plain which is aligned with `XY` but whose normal aligns with the negative Z axis.
- The following operators can be used with solids as shorthand for CSG operations:
- `+` or `|` for [`union`](/docs/kcl-std/union).
- `-` for [`subtract`](/docs/kcl-std/subtract).
- `&` for [`intersect`](/docs/kcl-std/intersect)

title: "Attributes"
excerpt: "Documentation of the KCL language for the Zoo Design Studio."
layout: manual
---
Attributes are syntax which affects the language item they annotate. In KCL they are indicated using `@`. For example, `@settings` affects the file in which it appears.
There are two kinds of attributes: named and unnamed attributes. Named attributes (e.g., `@settings`) have a name immediately after the `@` (e.g., `settings`) and affect their surrounding scope. Unnamed attributes have no name and affect the following item, e.g.,
```kcl,norun
@(lengthUnit = ft, coords = opengl)
import "tests/inputs/cube.obj"
```
has an unnamed attribute on the `import` statement.
Named and unnamed attributes may take a parenthesized list of arguments (like a function). Named attributes may also appear without any arguments (e.g., `@no_std`).
## Named attributes
The `@settings` attribute affects the current file and accepts the following arguments: `defaultLengthUnit`, `defaultAngleUnit`, and `kclVersion`. See [settings](/docs/kcl-lang/settings) for details.
The `@no_std` attribute affects the current file, takes no arguments, and causes the standard library to not be implicitly available. It can still be used by being explicitly imported.
## Unnamed attributes
Unnamed attributes may be used on `import` statements when importing non-KCL files. See [projects, modules, and imports](/docs/kcl-lang/modules) for details.
Other unnamed attributes are used on functions inside the standard library, but these are not available in user code.

title: "Functions"
excerpt: "Documentation of the KCL language for the Zoo Design Studio."
layout: manual

We have support for defining your own functions. Functions can take in any
type of argument. Below is an example of the syntax:
```
fn myFn(x) {
return x
}
```
As you can see above `myFn` just returns whatever it is given.
KCL uses keyword arguments:
```
// If you declare a function like this
fn add(left, right) {
return left + right
}
// You can call it like this:
total = add(left = 1, right = 2)
```
Functions can also declare one *unlabeled* arg. If you do want to declare an unlabeled arg, it must
be the first arg declared.
```
// The @ indicates an argument is used without a label.
// Note that only the first argument can use @.
fn increment(@x) {
return x + 1
}
fn add(@x, delta) {
return x + delta
}
two = increment(1)
three = add(1, delta = 2)
```

title: "Numeric types and units"
excerpt: "Documentation of the KCL language for the Zoo Design Studio."
layout: manual
---
Numbers and numeric types in KCL include information about the units of the numbers. So rather than just having a number like `42`, we always have information about the units so we don't confuse 42 mm with 42 inches.
## Numeric literals
When writing a number literal, you can use a unit suffix to explicitly state the unit, e.g., `42mm`. The following units are available:
- Length units:
- metric: `mm`, `cm`, `m`
- imperial: `in`, `ft`, `yd`
- Angle units: `deg`, `rad`
- `_` to indicate a unitless number such as a count or ratio.
If you write a numeric literal without a suffix, then the defaults for the current file are used. These defaults are specified using the `@settings` attribute, see [settings](/docs/kcl-lang/settings) for details. Note that if using the defaults, the KCL interpreter won't know whether you intend the number to be a length, angle, or count and will treat it as being possibly any of them.
## Numeric types
Just like numbers carry units information, the `number` type also includes units information. Units are written in parentheses after the type, e.g., `number(mm)`.
Any of the suffixes described above can be used meaning that values with that type have the supplied units. E.g., `number(mm)` is the type of number values with mm units and `number(_)` is the type of number values with no units.
You can also use `number(Length)`, `number(Angle)`, or `number(Count)`. These types mean a number with any length, angle, or unitless (count) units, respectively (note that `number(_)` and `number(Count)` are equivalent since there is only one kind of unitless-ness).
## Function calls
When calling a function with an argument with numeric type, the declared numeric type in the function signature and the units of the argument value used in the function call must be compatible. Units are adjusted automatically. For example, if a function requires an argument with type `number(mm)`, then you can call it with `2in` and the units will be automatically adjusted, but calling it with `90deg` will cause an error.
## Mixing units with arithmetic
When doing arithmetic or comparisons, units will be adjusted as necessary if possible. However, often arithmetic expressions exceed the ability of KCL to accurately choose units which can result in warnings in your code or sometimes errors. In these cases, you will need to give KCL more information. Sometimes this can be done by making units explicit using suffixes. If not, then you will need to use *type ascription*, which asserts that an expression has the supplied type. For example, `(x * y): number(mm)` tells KCL that the units of `x * y` is mm. Note that type ascription does not do any adjustment of the numbers, e.g., `2mm: number(in)` has the value `2in` (note that this would be a very non-idiomatic way to use numeric type ascription, you could simply write `2in`. Usually type ascription is only necessary for supplying type information about the result of computation).
KCL has no support for area, volume, or other higher dimension units. When internal unit tracking requires multiple dimensions, KCL essentially gives up. This is usually where the extra type information described above is needed. If doing computation with higher dimensioned units, you must ensure that all adjustments occur before any computation. E.g., if you want to compute an area with unknown units, you must convert all numbers to the same unit before starting.
## Explicit conversions
You might sometimes need to convert from one unit to another for some calculation. You can do this implicitly when calling a function (see above), but if you can't or don't want to, then you can use the explicit conversion functions in the [`std::units`](/docs/kcl-std/modules/std-units) module.

title: "Pipelines"
excerpt: "Documentation of the KCL language for the Zoo Design Studio."
layout: manual

It can be hard to read repeated function calls, because of all the nested brackets.
```norun
i = 1
x = h(g(f(i)))
```
You can make this easier to read by breaking it into many declarations, but that is a bit annoying.
```norun
i = 1
x0 = f(i)
x1 = g(x0)
x = h(x1)
```
Instead, you can use the pipeline operator (`|>`) to simplify this.
Basically, `x |> f(%)` is a shorthand for `f(x)`. The left-hand side of the `|>` gets put into
the `%` in the right-hand side.
So, this means `x |> f(%) |> g(%)` is shorthand for `g(f(x))`. The code example above, with its
somewhat-clunky `x0` and `x1` constants could be rewritten as
```norun
i = 1
x = i
|> f(%)
|> g(%)
|> h(%)
```
This helps keep your code neat and avoid unnecessary declarations.
## Pipelines and keyword arguments
Say you have a long pipeline of sketch functions, like this:
```norun
startSketchOn(XZ)
|> line(%, end = [3, 4])
|> line(%, end = [10, 10])
|> line(%, end = [-13, -14])
|> close(%)
```
In this example, each function call outputs a sketch, and it gets put into the next function call via
the `%`, into the first (unlabeled) argument.
If a function call uses an unlabeled first parameter, it will default to `%` if it's not given. This
means that `|> line(%, end = [3, 4])` and `|> line(end = [3, 4])` are equivalent! So the above
could be rewritten as
```norun
startSketchOn(XZ)
|> line(end = [3, 4])
|> line(end = [10, 10])
|> line(end = [-13, -14])
|> close()
```

## Binary expressions
You can also do math! Let's show an example below:
```
myMathExpression = 3 + 1 * 2 / 3 - 7
```
You can nest expressions in parenthesis as well:
```
myMathExpression = 3 + (1 * 2 / (3 - 7))

// If you declare a function like this
fn add(left, right) {
return left + right
}
// You can call it like this:
total = add(left = 1, right = 2)
```

be the first arg declared.

// The @ indicates an argument can be used without a label.
// Note that only the first argument can use @.
fn increment(@x) {

fn add(@x, delta) {
return x + delta

three = add(1, delta = 2)

startSketchOn(XZ)
|> line(%, end = [3, 4])
|> line(%, end = [10, 10])
|> line(%, end = [-13, -14])
|> close(%)
```
In this example, each function call outputs a sketch, and it gets put into the next function call via
the `%`, into the first (unlabeled) argument.
If a function call uses an unlabeled first parameter, it will default to `%` if it's not given. This

|> line(end = [10, 10])
|> line(end = [-13, -14])
|> close()
```
Note that we are still in the process of migrating KCL's standard library to use keyword arguments. So some
functions are still unfortunately using positional arguments. We're moving them over, so keep checking back.
Some functions are still using the old positional argument syntax.
Check the docs page for each function and look at its examples to see.

Functions for converting numbers to different units.
All numbers in KCL include units, e.g., the number `42` is always '42 mm' or '42 degrees', etc. it is never just '42'. For more information, see [numeric types](/docs/kcl-lang/numeric).
Note that you only need to explicitly convert the units of a number if you need a specific unit for your own calculations. When calling a function, KCL will convert a number to the required units automatically (where possible, and give an error or warning if it's not possible).

A number.
May be signed or unsigned, an integer or decimal value.
You may see a number type with units, e.g., [`number(mm)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number). These are currently experimental.
KCL numbers always include units, e.g., the number `42` is always '42 mm' or '42 degrees', etc.
it is never just '42'. The [`number`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) type may or may not include units, if none are specified, then
it is the type of any number. E.g.,
- [`number`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number): the type of any numbers,
- [`number(mm)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number): the type of numbers in millimeters,
- [`number(in)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number): the type of numbers in inches,
- [`number(Length)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number): the type of numbers in any length unit,
- [`number(deg)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number): the type of numbers in degrees,
- [`number(Angle)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number): the type of numbers in any angle unit,
- [`number(_)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) or [`number(Count)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number): the type of unit-less numbers, representing a count of things,
or a ratio, etc.
For more information, see [numeric types](/docs/kcl-lang/numeric).
