Vint Extension for VS Code

Welcome to the Vint extension for Visual Studio Code! This extension enhances your coding experience by providing a collection of snippets tailored for the Vint programming language. With these snippets, you can write code faster and more efficiently, allowing you to focus on building amazing applications.

Features

• Predefined Snippets: Easily insert commonly used code patterns, such as functions, loops, conditionals, and more.
• Syntax Assistance: Quickly scaffold structures like if-else statements, loops, and switch cases.
• Customization: Tailor snippets to suit your coding style and project needs.

Example

Quickly create a function with the func snippet:

// Main logic to split and print characters of a string
let name = "VintLang"
s = name.split("") 
for i in s { 
    print(i)
}

// Demonstrating type conversion and conditional statements
age = "10"
convert(age, "INTEGER")  // Convert age string to integer
print(type(age))          // Uncomment to check the type of ageInInt

// Conditional statements to compare the age variable
if (age == 20) {
    print(age)
} else if (age == 10) {
    print("Age is " + age)
} else {
    print((age == "20"))
}

// Working with height variable
height = "6.0" // Height in feet
print("My name is " + name)

// Define a function to print details
let printDetails = func(name, age, height) {
    print("My name is " + name + ", I am " + age + " years old, and my height is " + height + " feet.")
}

// Calling the printDetails function with initial values
printDetails(name, age, height)

Tip: Explore the full list of snippets in the snippet documentation or directly in the VS Code IntelliSense suggestions.
