The goal of the '''Smeth''' project is to create a programming language that resembles the English language as much as possible.

==Basic syntax rules==
Smeth syntax closely follows English grammar.
* Statements begin with a capital letter and end with a period.
* Multiple statements are chained together by commas, with the final statement ending in a period.
* Variables are case-sensitive.
* Parentheses act as comment delimiters outside of statements. Inside of statements they group expressions.

===Hello world program===
Print "Hello world!".

===Setting variables===
Set x to 3 * x + 1.

===If statement example===
If x equals 3 * x + 1, then print "Awesome", else, print "No way!".

====Multiple lines====
If answer equals 42 and answer equals 6 * 9:
Print "That's it. That's all there is.",
Set marvin to "Paranoid Android",
Print marvin,
Print answer.

===For loop example===
Loop i from 1 to 10, increasing i by 1: Print i.

===While loop example===
While i is less than 10, increase i by 1. (You could also write "Set i equal to i + 1.")

===Function declaration===
Declare function foo with parameters bar, baz, qux:
Return bar + baz + qux.

Print foo 2, 3, 4.

===Array creation, access, and modification===
Set odds to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.
Remove element 6 from odds. (odds now has 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
Add 11 to odds. (odds has 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11)
Set element 6 in odds to 13. (odds = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13)
Add 11 to odds at position 6. (odds = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13)
Print element 0 in odds. (prints 1)
Print odds. (prints 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13)

===Foreach loop===
For each element e in odds, print e.

====Multiline version====
For each element e in odds:
Print e,
Print e + 1,
Print foo e, e+2, e+4.
