Bob Language Extension v0.3.0

What's New

✨ New Features Added

Enhanced Array Support

• Auto-truncating float indices: array[3.14] → array[3] (like JavaScript/Lua)
• Increment/decrement on array elements: array[0]++, ++array[1]
• Improved array operations: Better error handling and bounds checking

New Built-in Functions

• toInt() - convert floats to integers (truncates decimals)
• Enhanced error reporting for all built-in functions

Increment/Decrement Operators

• Prefix increment: ++x
• Postfix increment: x++
• Prefix decrement: --x
• Postfix decrement: x--
• Works on variables and array elements

Cross-Type Comparisons

• Equality operators (==, !=) work with any types
• Comparison operators (>, <, >=, <=) only work with numbers
• Clear error messages for type mismatches

Compound Assignment Operators

• Enhanced error reporting with correct operator names
• Consistent behavior across all compound operators
• Better type checking before operations

New Code Snippets

• toint - Convert float to integer
• compound - Compound assignment operators
• inc - Increment variable
• dec - Decrement variable
• arrayinc - Increment array element
• arraydec - Decrement array element
• crosscomp - Cross-type comparison
• floatindex - Array access with float index

🎨 Syntax Highlighting Improvements

• Support for toInt() built-in function
• Enhanced operator recognition for increment/decrement
• Better array indexing syntax support

📝 Documentation Updates

• Comprehensive array documentation with auto-truncation examples
• New built-in function documentation (toInt, enhanced error reporting)
• Cross-type comparison behavior documentation
• Increment/decrement operator documentation
• Compound assignment operator documentation

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed array printing - arrays no longer show as "unknown"
• Enhanced error reporting - all errors now use the error reporter system
• Improved type checking - better error messages for type mismatches
• Memory management - better cleanup of unused functions and arrays
