#2: Code structure

In Aglang, each instruction is called statement. Statements are composed of at most two arguments, one on the left of the statement operator and one at its right. Most statements require two arguments, some one and some none!

Arguments can be of one of these types:

• Binary literal: composed of zeroes and ones, they represent a numeric value;
• Register: one of the two available 8-bit registers in Aglang (' for register 0 and '' for register 1);
• Stack: an array of 8-bit values;
• Stdout: the console output, \\ for normal ASCII representation and \\# for printing the numeric value;
• Label: a point in code.

We’ll go more in depth into some of these in future lessons, but for now, just keep the in mind.

And lastly, we have loops: in short, they repeat sections of code until, at the end, the top value in the stack is 0.

Side note: Anything wrapped in two dollar signs $ like this $ is considered a comment: these will be ignored.

The objective in this lesson consists in printing a character into the Stdout, and for this, you’ll use the Copy (>) operator.

It will be marked as completed when you successfully print the character A (ASCII number 65) to the output.

To do it, pass the character’s binary value 01000001 (corresponds to 65) as the left argument of the Copy operator by replacing the comment.
