Zeno (programming language)

Zeno (after pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea) is an imperative procedural programming language designed to be easy to learn and user friendly. Zeno is generic in the sense that it contains most of the essential elements used in other languages to develop real applications.

The Zeno Interpreter was designed for use in Windows 95 and later Microsoft operating systems. The interpreter comes with built-in debugging tools, a source code text editor, and an on-line language reference.

Zeno was created by Stephen R. Schmitt and is maintained by Abecedarical Systems.

Example: Sieve of Eratosthenes[edit]

const N : int := 5000 var a : array[N] of boolean   program      var i, j : int       init_a                          % initialize array      for i := 2...floor ( N/2 ) do        for j := 2...floor ( N/i ) do            a[i*j] := false         % mark as not prime        end for    end for    j := 0    for i := 2...N do               % output results        if a[i] then                % is prime            put i : 6 ...            incr j            if (j mod 5) = 0 then   % start new line                put ""            end if        end if    end for   end program   % initialize the array procedure init_a      var i : int    for i := 1...N do        a[i] := true    end for   end procedure
