Soplang (short for Somali Programming Language) is a culturally-rooted programming language designed specifically for Somali speakers. It allows developers to write code using native Somali syntax and expressions.

Soplang is designed for everyone, but especially Somali speakers who want to learn programming using their native language. It's particularly useful for students, teachers, and new developers in Somalia and the Somali diaspora.

Is Soplang free to use?

Yes, Soplang is completely free and open-source under the MIT License. You can download, use, and contribute to its development without any cost.

What platforms does Soplang work on?

Soplang works on Windows, macOS, and Linux/UNIX operating systems. It has a Python-based interpreter that runs on all major platforms.

How can I contribute to Soplang?

You can contribute to Soplang by helping with code development, documentation, translations, or community building. Visit our Contribute page for more information on getting involved.

Type Conversion in Soplang

Soplang waxa uu leeyahay shaqooyin-dhexdeed (built-ins) oo fudud oo lagu kala beddelo noocyada xogta. Kuwaas waxay kuu oggolaanayaan inaad si ammaan ah ugu beddesho u dhaxeysa integer, string, decimal, iyo boolean—adigoo ilaalinaya saxnaanta xogta.

`nooc()` – Type Checking

Adeegso nooc() si aad u hubiso nooca qiime kasta.

123

door natiijo = nooc(42)         // "abn"
door natiijo2 = nooc("abc")     // "qoraal"
door natiijo3 = nooc(3.14)      // "jajab"

Type Conversion Functions

Hoos waxaa ku qoran is-beddellada caanka ah iyo shaqada la adeegsado:

Conversion	Function	Example
Int → String	`qoraal()`	`qoraal(42)`
String → Int	`abn()`	`abn("123")`
Float → String	`qoraal()`	`qoraal(3.14)`
String → Float	`jajab()`	`jajab("3.14")`
Int → Float	`jajab()`	`jajab(5)`
Float → Int	`abn()`	`abn(4.9)` → `4` (truncates)
Any → Bool	`bool()`	`bool(1)` → `run`, `bool(0)` → `been`

Example

1234567891011121314

// Integer to string
abn int_value = 42
qoraal int_str = qoraal(int_value)
qor("Integer to string: " + int_str + " (Type: " + nooc(int_str) + ")")

// String to decimal
qoraal decimal_string = "3.14159"
jajab converted_decimal = jajab(decimal_string)
qor("String to decimal: " + converted_decimal + " (Type: " + nooc(converted_decimal) + ")")

// Decimal to integer (truncation)
jajab decimal_num = 42.75
abn int_from_decimal = abn(decimal_num)
qor("Decimal to integer (truncation): " + int_from_decimal)

Shaqooyinkan beddelka noocyadu waxay muhiim u yihiin dhismaha input-handling adag, tusaale ahaan marka aad akhrinayso gelinta isticmaalaha ama faylasha oo aad rabto inaad hubiso noocyo sax ah ka hor inta aanad xisaab samayn.
