Name : nickle Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 2.73 Release : 1.el5 URL : http://nickle.org Summary : A programming language-based prototyping environment Description : Nickle is a programming language based prototyping environment with powerful programming and scripting capabilities. Nickle supports a variety of datatypes, especially arbitrary precision numbers. The programming language vaguely resembles C. Some things in C which do not translate easily are different, some design choices have been made differently, and a very few features are simply missing. Nickle provides the functionality of UNIX bc, dc and expr in much-improved form. It is also an ideal environment for prototyping complex algorithms. Nickle's scripting capabilities make it a nice replacement for spreadsheets in some applications, and its numeric features nicely complement the limited numeric functionality of text-oriented languages such as AWK and PERL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: * add gamma function * fix readline interaction when using pipes * add sort and skiplist to library * add is_type and has_member built-ins * typecheck switch statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #798611 - nickle-2.73 is available https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798611 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs.
