Operators

Operators in CTalk are slightly different from their equivalent in C.

Precedence	Operator	Description
1	.	Member access
	->	Member access (pointer)
2	as type	Type cast
3	+ -	Unary plus and minus
	not !	Logical NOT and bitwise NOT
	@	Address-of
	sizeof	Size-of
4	* / %	Multiplication, division, and remainder
5	+ -	Addition and subtraction
6	<< >>	Bitwise left and right shift
7	< <=	For relational operators
	> >=	For relational operators
8	== !=	For relational operators
9	&	Bitwise AND
10	^	Bitwise XOR
11	|	Bitwise OR
12	and	Logical AND
13	or	Logical OR
14	=	Simple assignment
	+= -=	Assignment by sum and difference
	*= /= %=	Assignment by product, quotient, and remainder
	<<= >>=	Assignment by bitwise left and right shift
	&= ^= |=	Assignment by bitwise AND, XOR, OR

• Array subscript e1[e2] is replaced by [e1 e2].
• Indirection *e is replaced by [e].

Function calls

In CTalk, the () syntax means to call a function that takes no parameters. Calling is similar to Smalltalk in which the parameter names are required, resulting in super long names. In CTalk, it is possible to overload functions due to this. As long as it has different parameter names, it is considered a different function.

Consider calling a function with the signature of foo::f ()

foo::f ()

Consider calling a function with the signature of foo::f a:int, b:int, ...

foo::f a:0 b:1, "A", "B", "C"
