Hello, and welcome to Toka!
Toka is a concatenative language with roots in Forth. Don't expect your existing knowledge to apply directly to Toka. It allows a good deal of low-level control, while supporting some useful abstractions that make development easier. Some influences come from RetroForth, HelFORTH, 4p, Factor, and SmallTalk.
If you can't find something, try the index. A more structured set of topics can be found in First Steps.
The standard bootstrap adds support for arrays. These are a superset of variables, and hold either character or numeric data.
The words provided are:
is-array n"- Create an array of size n. Parses for the name. array.put nia- Put value (n) into array (a) at index (i) array.get ia-n Get the value (n) from array (a) at index (i) array.putChar nia- Put character value (n) into array (a) at index (i) array.getChar ia-n Get the character value (n) from array (a) at index (i)
10 cells is-array foo 0 foo array.get . 100 0 foo array.put 10 1 foo array.put 0 foo array.get . 1 foo array.get .
This file provides a handful of primitives for manipulating bits.
lshift() Shift NOS left by TOS bits rshift() Shift NOS right by TOS bits and() Perform a bitwise AND or() Perform a bitwise OR xor() Perform a bitwise XOR
<< ( ab-c ) Shift 'a' left by 'b' bits >> ( ab-c ) Shift 'a' right by 'b' bits and ( ab-c ) Perform a bitwise AND or ( ab-c ) Perform a bitwise OR xor ( ab-c ) Perform a bitwise XOR
To build Toka, you will need the following:
For most people, the following should work. If it fails, try checking the Ports page to see if there are any platform-specific instructions. The process using Make:
make
If you experience problems, check the PLATFORM line in the Makefile and add any OS-specific flags your system may need.
As a final note, some pieces of documentation can be updated automatically as well:

This is where the WordClasses are implemented. It does not export any functions directly to Toka.
word_class() If compiling, compile the xt into the current quote. If interpreting, call the word. macro_class() Always call the word data_class() If compiling, compile a call to lit() and then inline TOS into the following location. Otherwise leave TOS alone. quote_macro_class() Always invoke the quote. quote_class() Handler for quotes; this takes two cells, one which is a call to this function, the other is the pointer to the quote to invoke. quote_word_class() Perform data_class() semantics, then, if compiling, compile a call to invoke(). Otherwise, invoke() is called with the xt on TOS.

Build the list of command line arguments that Toka programs can access. This is a subset of the full arguments passed to the toka executable.
Variables: long arg_count Holds the number of command line arguments char *arg_list[128] Holds the list of command line arguments. num_args() Return the number of arguments, not including the file names used to launch this program. get_arg_list() Return the number of arguments, not including the file names used to launch this program. build_arg_list(char *args[], long count) Copy pointers to the command line arguments to arg_list[]. Also sets arg_count.
#args ( -n ) Return the number of arguments arglist ( -a ) Return a pointer to the argument list.
It is generally a good idea to comment your code. Comments will make it much easier to remember what's going on, can help you locate bugs, and also be of significant benefit to others who may work on your code at a later time.
Toka provides two ways to comment your code.
At the listener (the top level interpreter), you can use #! comments. These are comments that start with #! and end at the end of the current line. For example, I often start my programs with a short information block such as the following:
#! --------------------------------------------------------------- #! A small HTTP server for Toka #! #! Developed by: #! Charles R. Childers #! erider #! #! ---------------------------------------------------------------
This style comment works well for blocks, and thus can be very useful at the start of a function:
#! --------------------------------------------------------------- #! get-request #! This reads a client request of up to 1k into the buffer. The #! number of bytes read is returned. #! ---------------------------------------------------------------
#! comments can not be used inside quotes.
Inside a quote, you can use ( ... ) comments. These start with a ( and end when ) is encountered. Unlike #! comments, these can span multiple lines and be used inside of quotes. An example:
[ connection ( -a ) @ ( a-n ) pClose ( n- ) ] is end-connection
In this example, each stack action is mapped out using a stack comment. This is helpful when learning to use Toka, as it makes it easier to visualize the stack at each step.
Toka provides a few basic comparison primitives and one primitive for handling conditional execution of code. The standard bootstrap also adds two quotes that extend the conditional functions.
Basic examples:
1 100 = [ 1 . ] ifTrue 1 100 = [ 2 . ] ifFalse 1 100 = [ 3 . ] [ 4 . ] ifTrueFalse
The first case will invoke the quote if the flag returned by = is TRUE. The second invokes the quote if the flag is FALSE, and the third form invokes the [3 .] quote if TRUE, or the [4 .] quote if FALSE.
Contains the implementation of the core conditionals. These are words which do comparisons, and return a flag on the stack.
less_than() Compare TOS and NOS, return a flag. greater_than() Compare TOS and NOS, return a flag. equals() Compare TOS and NOS, return a flag. not_equals() Compare TOS and NOS, return a flag.
< ( ab-f ) Compare 'a' and 'b', return a flag > ( ab-f ) Compare 'a' and 'b', return a flag = ( ab-f ) Compare 'a' and 'b', return a flag <> ( ab-f ) Compare 'a' and 'b', return a flag
FALSE ( -f ) Value returned for FALSE TRUE ( -f ) Value returned for TRUE ifTrue ( fq- ) Execute quote ('q') if flag ('f') is TRUE ifFalse ( fq- ) Execute quote ('q') if flag ('f') is FALSE ifTrueFalse ( fab- ) Invoke 'a' if 'f' flag is true, 'b' if false. whileTrue ( a- ) Execute quote. If the quote returns TRUE, execute again. otherwise end the cycle. whileFalse ( a- ) Execute quote. If the quote returns TRUE, execute again. otherwise end the cycle.
Provide a very basic console interface. The provided interface is intentionally kept to a minimum, a better console interface can be loaded later.

cr ( - ) Display a CR character space ( - ) Display a space tab ( - ) Display a tab ." ( "- ) Parse to the next <b>"</b> and display the string. clear ( - ) VT100: Clear the screen normal ( - ) VT100: Set the colors back to the default bold ( - ) VT100: Set the bold attribute for the foreground color black ( - ) VT100: Set the foreground color to black red ( - ) VT100: Set the foreground color to red green ( - ) VT100: Set the foreground color to green yellow ( - ) VT100: Set the foreground color to yellow blue ( - ) VT100: Set the foreground color to blue magenta ( - ) VT100: Set the foreground color to magenta cyan ( - ) VT100: Set the foreground color to cyan white ( - ) VT100: Set the foreground color to white onBlack ( - ) VT100: Set the background color to black onRed ( - ) VT100: Set the background color to red onGreen ( - ) VT100: Set the background color to green onYellow ( - ) VT100: Set the background color to yellow onBlue ( - ) VT100: Set the background color to blue onMagenta( - ) VT100: Set the background color to magenta onCyan ( - ) VT100: Set the background color to cyan onWhite ( - ) VT100: Set the background color to white
For data that does not change, a constant can be created as follows:
100 is-data OneHundred " /home/crc/htdocs/" is-data docroot
The first example takes the number 100, and assigns a name (OneHundred) to it. The name can now be used as a symbolic constant at the listener or inside a quote. The second example creates a named pointer to a string, which can also be used at the listener or inside quotes.
The use of constants is encouraged as it makes code easier to read and maintain. They have minimal impact on performance, and are significantly faster to use than variables.
These are words useful for accessing and modifying data.

This provides a very small collection of simple tools that can be helpful when trying to track down bugs. It is not intended to be a full-scale debugging tool.

When using Toka, you may encounter various error messages. These are described below. Each error has a unique code; the messages below are sorted by this code.
Nonfatal. This error is when a token can not be found in the dictionary or converted to a number.
Fatal. This error is when the garbage collector fails to allocate enough memory to fill a gc_alloc() request.
Nonfatal. This error is given when an alien function (handled by the FFI) is invoked with too many arguments for Toka to handle. You shouldn't see it often.
Nonfatal. This error arises when a library can not be located for opening by the FFI.
Nonfatal. This error arises when a symbol can not be found in the currently open library.
This error arises when Toka detects a problem with either the data or return stack. It can be either fatal (when the problem is with the return stack) or nonfatal (when the problem is with the data stack). When nonfatal, Toka resets the data stack to an empty state.
Fatal. This error arises when the stdin device is closed unexpectedly.
Fatal. This error arises when a quote exceeds the maximum size permitted. See Limitations.
Fatal. This error arises when a malloc fails. Normally you shouldn't see this unless you are dealing with a bad malloc/free implementation or very large sets of data.
This is where errors are handled. It does not export any functions directly to Toka.

Toka provides a few tools that allow you to extend the language in new directions. The core of this is compiler macros, special words which are (under normal circumstances) always invoked.
Consider a fairly simple task, such as displaying a string. We know that this can be done by using type, and that parse can be used to create a string. A simple first try would be something like:
[ char: " parse type ] is ."
Trying this at the interpreter works just fine:
." Hello, World"
But inside a definition, we run into a problem:
[ ." Hello, World" ] is foo E0: 'Hello,' is not a word or a number. E0: 'World"' is not a word or a number.
To make this work inside a definition, we need to do a few things:
To begin, we should be using is-macro to make this into a compiler macro. As a macro, it will also run in the interpreter, so we need to make it aware of the compiler state. This is provided by the compiler variable. So an initial expansion:
[ char: " parse compiler @ [ ( for compile time ) ] [ type ] ifTrueFalse ] is-macro ."
A simplification is now in order. The first two challenges (parsing the string and compiling a reference to it) are already handled by the " word. We can reuse this and save some trouble:
[ ` " invoke compiler @ [ ( for compile time ) ] [ type ] ifTrueFalse ] is-macro ."
` returns a quote containing the requested function, in this case ". We can then invoke the quote. This is a fundamental aspect of extending the langauge.
To compile a call to a quote, Toka provides another word, compile. We can use this as follows:
[ ` " invoke compiler @ [ ` type compile ] [ type ] ifTrueFalse ] is-macro ."
And now we are done. Use of `, invoke, and compile allows for a fair amount of flexibility in extending the language with new features. Learn to use them, and your ability to adapt Toka to your programs needs will multiply drastically.
These functions can also be used with normal quotes to create defining words. As a nominal example, this is a defining word that creates a function that always returns a specific value. Basically a form of constant:
[ >r ` [ invoke r> # ` ] invoke is ] is const
One final note. Considering the example above, many items have a form similar to this. Toka has an additional word +action that creates a new quote combining a specific action and data element. The word "const" above could be rewritten using it:
[ [ ] +action ] is const
Or, with a slightly more complex example, try this:
[ [ . ] +action ] is foo 100 foo bar bar
To allow use of external libraries, Toka provides a simple Foreign Function Interface (FFI). This is built around the following primitives:
from LIBRARY
Set the import source to LIBRARY. This should be a fully-qualified filename; it may require a path as well as the .so extension.
N import FUNCTION
Import FUNCTION from the previously specified library. A new quote named FUNCTION will be created, and will take N arguments off the stack. This function will always have a return value, even for void functions.
You can also make use of as to rename the imported function.
Example:
#! Linux libc = libc.so.6, BSD libc = libc.so from libc.so.6 2 import printf as printf.2 " %i\n" 100 printf.2
The FFI is optional, and can be disabled at build time. Doing so reduces the overall functionality of Toka, so doing this is only recommended if you are using a system without dlopen()/dlsym(), or if you need more direct control over the functionality provided. To build a version of Toka without the FFI, do:
rm source/ffi.c make CFLAGS=-DNOFFI
Again, this is only recommended if your system does not support dlopen()/dlsym().
Implements the Foreign Function Interface, which allows use of external libraries.
Variables: void *library Pointer to the most recently opened library ffi_invoke() Call a foreign function. This translates between Toka and CDECL calling conventions. ffi_from() Select a library to load from. ffi_import() Import and name an external function. This wraps the imported function in a quote. ffi_rename() Rename the most recently defined word in the dictionary.
from ( "- ) Set the library to import from ( $- ) Non-parsing form import ( n"- ) Import a function taking 'n' arguments. ( n$- ) Non-parsing form as ( "- ) Rename the last defined word ( $- ) Non-parsing form

The following is a set of topical guides to various aspects of the Toka language. It was written as the initial tutorial material, but as should be evident, I am not a great writer of tutorials. The material should be fairly easy for a moderately experienced Forth or Joy programmer to pick up.
The Toka implementation makes heavy use of dynamically allocated memory. To help avoid memory leaks, the memory allocation provides a very simple form of garbage collection.
The model is very simple. Two lists are kept of pointers and corresponding sizes are kept. One list is used primarily for user-level allocations, and the other is only used by the primitives when they need to allocate memory.
When either list is filled, gc() is called. This frees up to 64 allocations from the internal list, and up to 32 allocations from the user list. Allocations are freed from oldest to newest, and the newest allocations in both lists (up to 32 in the user list and 64 in the internal list) will be kept. This prevents recent creations from falling out of scope until they can be used.
Obviously there is also a way to mark entries as permanent. This is done by keep (the gc_keep() function). This routine skims through the list of allocations (from most recent to oldest) looking for a specific pointer. When found, that entry (and any subsequent allocations -- in Toka these will almost always be subquotes, strings, etc) are removed from the list.
Information regarding the current status of the garbage collection subsystem can be obtained via :stat (the vm_info() function).
Implements the memory allocator and basic garbage collector.
Variables: GCITEM gc_list[128] Holds the list of items marked as garbage long gc_depth A pointer to the top of the garbage collection list GCITEM gc_trash[128] Holds the short list of items marked as garbage long gc_tdepth A pointer to the top of the short garbage collection list long gc_used Contains the total size of all currently used memory, including permanent quotes. long gc_objects Contains the total number of objects that are currently existing, including permanent ones. gc_alloc(long items, long size, long type) Allocate the requested memory and add it to the garbage collection list. If type is set to 0, add to the normal garbage collection list. If set to 1, add to the short list of known garbage items which can be safely freed at the next gc(). If the allocation fails, gc() is called, and the allocation is retried. If it still fails, an error is reported and Toka is terminated. gc_keep() Remove the specified address (and any childern it has registered) from the garbage collection list. If the TOS is not an allocated address, this will silently ignore it. gc() Free the oldest allocations on the garbage list. Will free up to 64 trash items and 32 items from the user allocation list per call. This leaves the newest allocations on both lists alone, even with repeated calls. toka_malloc() Allocate TOS bytes of memory. Returns a pointer to the allocated memory.
keep ( a-a ) Mark quotes/allocated memory as permanent. gc ( - ) Clean the garbage malloc ( n-a ) Allocate 'n' bytes of memory

To get the most out of Toka, it needs to be installed. This can be done via the build system:
make install
When done this way, the following files are installed:
/usr/bin/toka /usr/share/toka/bootstrap.toka
After installation, run the test suite:
make tests

Toka provides a limited collection of primitives for building various types of simple loops.
The most basic form is countedLoop, which takes the following form:
upper-limit lower-limit quote countedLoop
countedLoop will invoke quote the specified number of times. Upper and lower indexes can be set as desired; Toka will count up or down as necessary.
Some examples:
10 0 [ i . ] countedLoop 0 10 [ i . ] countedLoop
Note the use of i, the loop index. When looping via countedLoop, the loop index is set to the current cycle number. Other types of loops do not set the loop index.
The other type of loop is a whileTrue or whileFalse loop. The normal form:
quote whileTrue quote whileFalse
Each time quote is invoked, a value of TRUE or FALSE should be left on the stack. The loop primitives will consume this, and either repeat the loop or end the loop until the condition is not met. whileTrue continues execution if the returned value is TRUE; whileFalse continues if the returned value is FALSE.
Some examples:
1 [ dup . 1 + dup 101 < ] whileTrue 101 [ dup . 1 - dup 1 < ] whileFalse
Basic math operations on the stack.
add() Add TOS to NOS subtract() Subtract TOS from NOS multiply() Multiply TOS by NOS divmod() Divide and return the result, including remainder
+ ( ab-c ) Add TOS and NOS - ( ab-c ) Subtract TOS from NOS * ( ab-c ) Multiply TOS by NOS /mod ( ab-cd ) Divide and get remainder
negate ( x-y ) Invert the sign of TOS / ( xy-z ) Divide two numbers mod ( xy-z ) Divide two numbers and get remainder not ( x-y ) Invert the value 'x' */ ( abc-d ) (a*b)/c
Toka provides a very basic set of math functionality, sufficient for many purposes. The functions are:
+ ( ab-c ) Add TOS and NOS - ( ab-c ) Subtract TOS from NOS * ( ab-c ) Multiply TOS by NOS /mod ( ab-cd ) Divide and get remainder
In addition, the standard bootstrap adds some additional operations:
1+ ( x-y ) Increase value on stack by 1 1- ( x-y ) Decrease value on stack by 1 negate ( x-y ) Invert the sign of TOS / ( xy-z ) Divide two numbers mod ( xy-z ) Divide two numbers and get remainder not ( x-y ) Invert the value 'x' */ ( abc-d ) (a*b)/c
Toka's parser is fairly simple. It only handles input coming from a file stream (which includes stdin). Input sources are implemented as a stack.
At the bottom is the stdin file. Generally on startup, the bootstrap.toka. A script would be at the third position, and any files that includes get added above it.
The parser will read from the top file until either end. or an EOF (end of file) is detected. At this point, it closes the file and drops to the next one on the stack.
Internally, the fundamental function for parsing is get_token(). This accepts two arguments, a pointer to a buffer to place the resulting string, and a delimiter character. Parsing ends when the delimiter character is encountered. get_token() also leaves a pointer to the resulting token on the stack. A Toka-level wrapper, parse(), makes use of get_token().
When parsing, a number of escape sequences can be recognized. These are listed below:
\n Embed a line feed (ASCII 10) into the token \r Embed a carriage return (ASCII 13) into the token \^ Embed ASCII 27 into the token. Useful with VT100/ANSI terminal escape sequences \\ Embed a \ character into the token \" Embed a quote into the token
Processing of escape sequences can be enabled or disabled by turning the escape-sequences variable on or off. For example:
escape-sequences off " \\ hello \\" type cr escape-sequences on " \\ hello \\" type cr
Implement the parser.
Variables: FILE *input[] Current file stream to parse from. Setup as an array of 8 inputs. long isp Pointer to the most recent input source in the array long base Holds the current numeric base long parser When ON (TRUE), system parsing words will parse. When OFF (FALSE), they will take a string from the stack. long escapes When ON (TRUE), escape sequences will be handled by the parser. When OFF (FALSE), they will be ignored. to_number() Attempt to convert a string (on TOS) to a number. This accepts a format of: [-]number If successful, it leaves the number and a flag of TRUE on the stack.

With the functions described above, many small programs can be written. Toka has much more functionality, but before proceeding further, we need to take a look at how to create new functions (called quotes).
In Toka, a quote is the basic building block. At the simplest level, they are anonymous blocks of code and data. Quotes are created by encolsing the code and/or data in brackets:
[ ]
The above will create an empty quote and leave a pointer to it on the stack. You can attach a name to this pointer with is:
[ ] is empty-quote
Names can include any characters, other than space, tab, cr, or lf (enter key). (There are other forms of is, but this is the most common one; the others are discussed elsewhere).
Build, operate on quotes.
Variables: QUOTE quotes[8] Holds details about the compiler state, heap, etc for quotes during compilation. long qdepth Tracks how deeply the quotes are nested long quote_counter Tracks the current loop index Inst top Holds a pointer to the root quote begin_quote() Create a new quote. This allocates space for it, and sets the compiler flag. A pointer to the quote's start is pushed to the stack. end_quote() Terminate the previously opened quote and perform data_class() semantics. invoke() Call a quote (passed on TOS) compile() Compile the code needed to call a quote (passed on TOS) countedLoop() Execute a quote a given number of times. You pass a quote, and upper/lower limits. The loop counter, 'i', is updated with each cycle. truefalse() Takes three items (true-xt, false-xt, and a flag) from the stack. Stack should be passed in as: flag true false It will execute true if the flag is true, false otherwise. recurse() Compiles a call to the top-level quote. As a trivial example: [ dup 1 > [ dup 1 - recurse swap 2 - recurse + ] ifTrue ] is fib qlit() Push the value in the following memory location to the stack. This is used instead of lit() so that the decompiler (and eventually debugger) can reliably identify nested quotes as opposed to regular literals. quote_index() Return the current loop index (counter) quote_while_true() Return execution of a quote until the quote returns FALSE. quote_while_false() Return execution of a quote until the quote returns TRUE.
[ ( -a ) Create a new quote ] ( - ) Close an open quote invoke ( a- ) Execute a quote compile ( a- ) Compile a call to the quote countedLoop ( ulq- ) Execute a quote a set number of times, updating the 'i' counter each time. ifTrueFalse ( fab- ) Invoke 'a' if 'f' flag is true, 'b' if false. recurse ( - ) Compile a call to the top quote. i ( -n ) Return the current loop index whileTrue ( a- ) Execute quote. If the quote returns TRUE, execute again. otherwise end the cycle. whileFalse ( a- ) Execute quote. If the quote returns TRUE, execute again. otherwise end the cycle.

Toka can be used to write scripts. Start your code with the following:
#! /usr/bin/toka
And set the permissions to executable (+x), and you can run your code directly at the command line (assuming that Toka is installed).
To make the most of your scripts, you will probably want to handle command line arguments. Toka allows for this using the following words:
#args ( -n ) Returns the number of command line arguments arglist ( -a ) An array containing the arguments array.get ( ia-n ) Return a pointer to an element in the array
Toka accepts a command line like the following:
toka <script> <arg0> <arg1> ... <argN>
If no arguments are given to Toka, excluding than the optional script filename, #args will be set to 0. In any other case, #args will contain the number of arguments following the script name. For example, in the following example, #args will return 3:
toka foo.toka apple banana carrot
The breakdown in the arglist will then be as follows:
You can loop over the arguments to process them. For instance, if we wanted to display each of the script arguments, we could do:
1 #args [ i arglist array.get type cr ] countedLoop

Stack comments provide a way to specify the action of a quote as it relates to the stack. It's normally a good idea to keep a list of words with their description and stack comments on hand if they are not part of the source.
A typical stack comment will resemble the following:
( abc-d )
The dash shows the before/after split. In the example above, the quote takes three elements from the stack (a, b, and c) and leaves a new one (d).
Words that parse use " as a symbol to denote this. For example:
( a"-b )
This is a stack comment for a word that takes a string (a), parses the input until a specified symbol is encountered, and returns a new string (b).
The exact meaning of the symbols is up to you. Generally in a description, you can explain them better, but the stack comment form is just a general overview.
When you are learning Toka, it may be helpful to write out stack comments for each step in a quote. This can help you keep track of the stack and become more comfortable using it.
Implements the basic stack operations. This is intentionally kept minimal, though additional primitives can be added to improve overall performance.
stack_dup() Duplicate the TOS stack_drop() Drop the TOS stack_swap() Exchange TOS and NOS stack_to_r() Push TOS to return stack, DROP TOS stack_from_r() Pop TORS to the data stack stack_depth() Return the number of items on the stack

nip ( xy-y ) Remove the second item on the stack rot ( abc-bca ) Rotate top three values on stack -rot ( abc-acb ) Rotate top three values on stack twice over ( xy-xyx ) Put a copy of NOS above the TOS tuck ( xy-yxy ) Put a copy of TOS under NOS 2dup ( xy-xyxy ) Duplicate the top two items on the stack 2drop ( xy- ) Drop TOS and NOS reset ( *- ) Drop all items on the stack r@ ( -x ) Get a copy of the top item on the return stack
Strings are sequences of characters. Specifically a string is any sequence of ASCII characters (each character can have a length identical to char-size), and ending with the literal value 0.
Strings are created by parsing, or can be manually constructed as an array.  Now change the lowercase 'h' to uppercase. char: H 0 hello array.putChar hello type cr
Toka relies on call threading. This is an implementation technique in which a list of addresses is compiled. Each of these is then called in sequence. The model is similar to direct threading in the Forth world.
There is one special address which marks the end of a threaded sequence. This address is 0.
As an example of this, consider the following quote:
[ a b c 1 2 + . ]
This is compiled into a list of addresses:
a, b, c, lit, 1, lit 2, +, ., 0
Note the special form for numbers. The lit() function pushes the value in the following cell to the stack.
When this quote is invoked, a will be called. After it finishes executing, b will be called, and so on until 0 is encountered. At that point, the vm_run() function exits.
Setup and call the interpreter.
main() The main entry point into Toka. Calls the functions needed to setup the initial dictionary and calls interpret().
None
To help keep an up-to-date list of C functions and their Toka equivilents, the TokaDoc scripts were developed. These seach C sources for specially formatted comments and extract them into various files. These files can be updated when building.
At the start of each C file, have a comment header like this:
/* *|F| *|F| FILE: filename *|F| */
Before any global variables, have a comment block like this:
/* *|F| Variables: *|F| GCITEM gc_list[128] *|F| Holds the list of items marked as garbage. *|F| */
Before each function have a comment block like this:
/* *|F| <return type> functioname(<arguments>) *|F| description of the function *|F| */
And for any functions having a Toka equivilent, have a block like:
/* *|G| wordname stack-effect description */
Please try to keep columns lined up as much as possible for Toka wordlist comments.
Toka has one data type, called the cell. This is a machine dependent sized memory area that can hold a single number or pointer. On 32-bit systems, cells are 4 bytes in length, and on 64-bit systems, they take 8 bytes. A constant, cell-size, returns the exact length provided by Toka on your system.
Cells can hold numbers, pointers to allocated memory, and pointers to quotes. When Toka encounters a number or a pointer, it is placed on the stack. For more permanent storage, you can store cell values into memory locations for later use.
This is where a number of abstractions arise. Memory allocated for storage of values is called variables. Memory allocated for sequences of values are called arrays. And a special class of array is used for sequences of characters. These are called strings.
In all of these, when you reference them, a pointer is left on the stack. Pointers are simply numbers corresponding to an actual memory address. It is up to you to know what abstract data type a pointer represents.
When dealing with variables, you can use @ (fetch) and ! (store) to set and obtain the values stored in them. If you need to fetch or store single characters (as may arise when manipulating strings), you can use c@ and c! instead.
Arrays have an entire abstracted set of words for dealing with them. It's well worth learning to use these, as they are portable, and make accessing and setting individual elements in an array trivial.
You are strongly encouraged to use cell-size and char-size instead of hard coding the sizes for data. This helps ensure readability and portability.
Use this page to extend Notebook using the the Tcl language. Commands you add here can be used as Magic Buttons and Embedded Macros.
Note that you can intersperse normal prose in between blocks of Tcl code.
The User Menu pops up when you right-click or control-click on a page in the Page Browser. You can customize it however you like.
usermenu { Back back-page Home {goto-page Home} }
The Edit Menu pops up when you right-click or control-click on a page in the Page Editor. You can customize it however you like.
editmenu { Undo undo-change Redo redo-change separator {} Cut cut-string Copy copy-string Paste paste-string "Insert Page..." insert-page }
The following embedded macro used to be used by the [Tour] to create a magic button that said "Click here to continue..." and took you to the next page in the tour when you clicked it. It's no longer needed, because now you can write such links directly, like this:
[Click here to continue...|Tour 2]
Still, it's a nice example of how to write a macro that creates a button.
proc clickToContinue {name} { return "\[%Click here to continue...|goto-page [list $name]%\]" }

The Toka language makes use of a stack to pass data between functions (called quotes in toka). Imagine a stack of blocks with numbers on them. You can add or remove numbers from the top of the stack. You can also rearrange the order of the numbers.
The stack is initially empty. Let's start by putting some numbers on the stack. Type in:
23 7 9182
Excellent! Now print the number on top of the stack using ., which is pronounced "dot". This is a hard word to write about in a manual because it is just a single period.
Enter:
.
You should see the last number you entered, 9182, printed. Each time . is used, the top element on the stack is lost. If you want to see what is on the stack, you can use :stack. Try this:
:stack
You should see:
<2> 23 7
The number on the left, enclosed in brackets, is the number of items on the stack. The number to the far right is the top of the stack, or TOS. It should be mentioned that :stack leaves the stack unchanged.
Since Toka uses the stack to hold data being operated on, and it uses the stack to pass data between quotes, it is very important to practice using it. Quotes generally take what they need off of the stack, and put their results back on it. To help understand exactly what each quote consumes and leaves, we use stack diagrams. As an example:
. ( x- )
That is to say, . takes one word off the stack (the 'x') and puts nothing on the stack. In other words, it consumes the TOS.
In the examples that follow, you do not need to type in the comments. When you are programming, of course, liberal use of comments and stack diagrams may make your code more readable and maintainable.
Between examples, you may wish to clear the stack. If you enter reset, the stack will be cleared. Since the stack is central to Toka, it is important to be able to alter it easily. Let's look at some more functions that manipulate the stack. Enter:
reset 777 dup :stack
You will notice that there are two copies of 777 on the stack. The quote dup duplicates TOS. This is useful when you want to use the TOS and still have a copy. The stack diagram for dup would be:
dup ( x-xx )
Another useful quote is swap. Enter:
reset 23 7 :stack swap :stack
The stack should look like:
<2> 7 23
The stack diagram for swap would be:
swap ( xy-yx )
Now enter:
over :stack
You should see:
<3> 7 23 7
over causes a copy of the second item on the stack to leapfrog over the first. Its stack diagram would be:
over ( xy-xyx )
Here is another commonly used function:
drop ( x- )
Can you guess what we will see if we enter:
drop :stack
Another handy function for manipulating the stack is rot (short for rotate). Enter:
11 22 33 44 :stack rot :stack
The stack diagram for rot is, therefore:
rot ( xyz-yzx )
You have now learned the more important stack manipulation words. These will be present in almost every non-trivial Toka program. I will say that if you see heavy use of these words in your code, you may want to examine and reorganize (refactor) your code. Use of variables and arrays (which we will discuss later) can also help clean things up.
Here are stack diagrams for some other useful stack manipulation functions. Try experimenting with them by putting numbers on the stack and calling them to get a feel for what they do. Again, the text in parentheses is just a comment and need not be entered.
2drop ( xyz--x ) 2dup ( xy-xyxy ) nip ( xyz-xz ) tuck ( xy-yxy )
Values are a special form of variable that may be more readable in many situations.
Example:
value foo foo . 100 to foo foo .
To hold data for longer periods of time than is practical with the stack, variables can be used. Variables are pointers to memory locations large enough to hold a number. There are two primary ways to create variables:
variable foo variable bar variable baz
The above would create three new variables, named foo, bar, and baz. When creating multiple variables, it is more readable to use variable| though:
variable| foo bar baz |
You can use @ (fetch) and ! (store) to alter the contents of a variable:
variable foo 100 foo ! foo @ .
For reading/writing character-sized values, c@ and c! are also provided. A full list of functions for working with variables follows:
variable ( "- ) Parse ahead and create a named entry corresponding to a memory location variable| ( |- ) Parse and create variables until | is encountered. @ ( a-n ) Fetch the value from variable 'a' ! ( na- ) Store 'n' to variable 'a' c@ ( a-n ) Fetch a byte from variable 'a' c! ( na- ) Store byte 'n' to variable 'a'
Implements the heart of the virtual machine.
Variables: Inst *heap Pointer into the current heap Inst *ip The instruction pointer long stack[MAX_DATA_SIZE], rstack[MAX_RETURN_STACK] The data and return stacks long sp, rsp The stack pointers vm_run(Inst) Run through a list of instructions Side effects: modifes *ip vm_stack_check() Check for over/underflow and reset if detected If the return stack over/underflows, exit Toka push(long a) Push a number to the stack. lit() Push the value in the following memory location to the stack string_lit() Push the pointer in the following memory location to the stack. This is a helper function for strings.
heap ( -a ) Variable pointing to the top of the local heap
An implementation strategy adopted from HelFORTH. Each quote, primitive, and data structure has a class assigned to it. These classes are aware of the current compiler state (on or off), and may be aware of other aspects of the Toka system as well.
When an item is found, the corresponding class handler is invoked. The primary classes you will encounter in Toka are:
This is the most common class.
A special case, these are used for quotes that need to be invoked whenever they are encountered. Macro class is used for creating strings (via ") and symbolic creation of characters (via char:).
This is the second most common class. It is used for all data structures, including variables, arrays, and strings.

Andy, Corey and Kurt talk about the last week's events with the Cubs. Injured players are piling up and we give you our opinions on which injured player the Cubs will miss the most. The Cubs made a historic trip to Fenway and a little guy named Tony Campana made his Cubs debut. Since MLB is pushing it on us, we look ahead to the All-Star Game and which player should represent the Cubs.
After the break, Kurt gives us his Scary Stat of the Week. We read up a few listener-suggested topics that include the worst baseball injuries we've seen, Jim Hendry's future with the Cubs and our reaction to Quade's facial expressions. We also display our ability to be distracted as we are, once again, joined by a raccoon. Here's our little buddy and the view from our current "studio".

BEAM at UCLA X ACM Teach LA
We partnered with BEAM at UCLA to teach 4th and 5th graders some cool robotics! We have 7 weeks of hour long lessons and you can follow along what we did here!
Setup
In these lessons, we will learn how to code mBots! Before these lessons, you may want to acquire an mBot which you will learn to program, and download mBlock which will be where you code your robot. Here are some download guides to help you out: mBlock Download Guide (for all non-Chromebooks) / mLink Download Guide (for Chromebooks)
How do people make games and websites and all that cool stuff? Learn the basics of coding with mBlock and block code! By the end of this lesson, you will learn how to make this spicy game.
Explore more with mBlock and learn how to make a bug move just like how a robot would. By the end of this lesson we will have completed our second game!
Beep boop beep boop. Learn how to put together your robot! Your mBot should come partially assembled along with a manual, and we'll begin the rest of its assembly!
This week, ASME at UCLA will come in and teach you a bit about the fancy robots and Battle Bots we make in university. Then, we'll finish assembling our robots!
Robots. Coding. Finally time to code robots?? In this lesson, you will learn how to make your robot move at your command!
After learning the basics of programming our robot last week, this time we'll be coding our robot to dance!
In our final lesson, we'll be programming our robot to follow a line underneath itself! If you'd like to learn more, check out some of our other materials below! We hope you had fun with us!
Additional Scratch Lessons
Making a Scratch Skit
In this Scratch lesson, we'll be learning some new Scratch blocks to make some skits with Scratch!

East Kilbride kids could face delay over free flu vaccination
That’s because the company have had to repeat testing on some batches of the vaccine.
by Fraser N Wilson, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/fraser-n-wilson/Children across South Lanarkshire may not get their flu vaccination before winter because of a shipment delay from the manufacturers.
Vaccination is a simple nasal spray, but the inoculations developed by Astrazeneca – due to arrive later this month – could be delayed.
That’s because the company have had to repeat testing on some batches of the vaccine.
Now NHS Lanarkshire’s public health medicine consultant has urged parents to make sure appointments for the spray have been organised for their kids.
Dr David Cromie said: “Parents and carers of two-to-five-year-olds will have received a letter by now asking them to book an appointment through a central phone number.
“I’d urge them to arrange this as soon as possible to ensure their children are protected against influenza, which can be an unpredictable and serious disease.”
The South Lanarkshire vaccination programme at primary schools is expected to continue as normal, however, vaccinations could be rescheduled if delays are incurred.
The supply issue does not impact vaccinations for adults who are eligible for the flu jab, which includes those with breathing problems, diabetes, heart and kidney conditions, those over 65-years old and pregnant women.
The medication is procured by Public Health England before being transported to Scotland and the Scottish government is looking at ways to mitigate any problems with potential delays.
They have said that the testing is nothing to do with the effectiveness or safety of the vaccine.
Dr Cromie said: “I realise some people are still hesitant about the safety of immunisations.
“I wish to emphasise the facts show influenza vaccination is safe and if you or your child are not protected, you could become very unwell and indeed spread it on to your family and friends.
“Getting vaccinated is a quick and easy step to protect your and your family’s health.”
The vaccination programme is expected to eventually prevent an estimated 200 deaths and 1100 hospitalisations a year.

class ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::PostgreSQLAdapter
The PostgreSQL adapter works with the native C (bitbucket.org/ged/ruby-pg) driver.
Options:
-
:host
- Defaults to a Unix-domain socket in /tmp. On machines without Unix-domain sockets, the default is to connect to localhost. -
:port
- Defaults to 5432. -
:username
- Defaults to be the same as the operating system name of the user running the application. -
:password
- Password to be used if the server demands password authentication. -
:database
- Defaults to be the same as the user name. -
:schema_search_path
- An optional schema search path for the connection given as a string of comma-separated schema names. This is backward-compatible with the:schema_order
option. -
:encoding
- An optional client encoding that is used in aSET client_encoding TO <encoding>
call on the connection. -
:min_messages
- An optional client min messages that is used in aSET client_min_messages TO <min_messages>

Description
Check whether the main person (whose perspective it's written from with I/me/my) is in the wrong.
I make synthetic leather made to look like the leather of endangered species. (not wrong)
I make leather with the hides of endangered species. (wrong)
I drive very fast when I'm on a racetrack. (not wrong)
I drive very fast when I'm in the suburbs. (wrong)
I inserted the plug in the power socket. (not wrong)
I inserted the fork in the power socket. (wrong)
I dropped my friend's phone onto his bed. (not wrong)
I dropped my friend's phone onto the brick sidewalk. (wrong)
She said the room was too hot, so I opened the freezer. (wrong)
She said the room was too hot, so I turned on the air conditioner. (not wrong)
I neutered the animal. (not wrong)
I neutered the endangered animal. (wrong)
I peed in the public pool. (wrong)
I peed in the public urinal. (not wrong)
I caressed the lost, afraid, and unaccompanied cat. (not wrong)
I caressed the lost, afraid, and unaccompanied minor. (wrong)
I liquidated my childrens' trust funds to pay for go karts. (wrong)
I liquidated my childrens' trust funds to for them go to and pay for college. (not wrong)
I let my gorilla on the loose at the public park. (wrong)
I let my dog on the loose at the public park. (not wrong)
I threw some popcorn at my dog. (not wrong)
I threw some popcorn at the people in the row in front of us. (wrong)
I kept a secret gun under my bed. (not wrong)
I kept a secret gun on the airplane. (wrong)
I voted for the candidate even though he has accepted bribes. (wrong)
I did not vote for the candidate because he had accepted bribes. (not wrong)
Explanation: While this is technically valid, simply adding the word "not" to change a scenario is a bad scenario writing strategy. This example is of low quality.
As an executive of a large avocado company, I said not to hire the applicant because the applicant's last name sounded strange. (wrong)
I said I would take Christmas day off. (not wrong)
Explanation: The pair is low-quality because the sentences are not worded very similarly.
I voted for the big political party’s leader. (not wrong)
I wrote in a candidate on the ballot. (wrong)
Explanation: The pair is low-quality because a large fraction of people in the US would disagree whether this is right or wrong.
While in the secret mine shaft, I shot holes in his suit. (wrong)
While in the secret mine shaft, I walked in my suit. (not wrong)
Explanation: The actions (shoot holes, walk) do not depend on the setting (mine shaft) at all, and the actions are very different.
This research study is being conducted by the Steinhardt Group at UC Berkeley. For questions about this study, please contact Dan Hendrycks at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>In this study, we will ask you to validate whether the main character in a scenario did something that is right or wrong according to everyday morality. We would like to remind you that participation in our study is voluntary and that you can withdraw from the study at any time.
You will be given 10 sentences. In each one, there is someone (the main character, who uses I/me/my) performing an action. Check whether the main character's action is clearly wrong or not clearly wrong.
Remember that the question is whether the person who uses I/me/my did something wrong, not whether anyone did something wrong.
Alternatively, you can select examples as being ambiguous (for example, if there are important missing details that aren't clear from the context) or low quality (for example, if you don't even fully understand what the scenario means, or it isn't written in the correct format).
If an example is ambiguous or low quality but easy to fix, please tweak the sentence to fix it then change the button you select to be "right" or "wrong" accordingly. If an example is ambiguous or low quality but not easy to fix, just select the "ambiguous or low quality" button.
What Makes Scenarios High Quality
Good scenarios usually avoid giveaway words, like “torture,” “steal,” “shot,” “bullied,” etc.
"I tortured Pam after much contemplation.” and "I helped Pam after much contemplation.” are low quality examples.
The word “torture” is hard to cast in a permissible light, so it gives away that the sentence is wrong. In this case, it’s possible not even to read the whole sentence and guess whether the sentence is wrong or permissible.
Good scenarios also involve wrong or permissible actions that most people in the US can agree is right or wrong.
For example, “I got an abortion” is not clearly permissible nor is it clearly wrong to most US citizens; many US citizens think that this is permissible, and many others think this is wrong.
You must click the sanity check button after labeling (and possibly editing) all 10 sentences to be able to submit. You can see many high quality and low quality examples by clicking on "View Examples" and going to the "Examples" tab.
