Moka Documentation

Introduction

Moka is a multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment created in 2022. Moka allows users to calculate mathematical equations, reference data, perform date calculations, and graph functions in a highly customizable environment.

All Moka actions are completed by calling a Moka Math Method (M3). All methods take 0, 1, or 2 arguments as input. Some M3 support other M3 to be an argument, and some M3 are allowed to be an argument. See full details in M3 table below.

Variables

Since all Moka actions are completed by calling an M3, variables cannot be created in the traditional "var x = 5" format. A variable must be created using the var() method. E.g. var(x,5)

Variables can also not be references directly. A variable must be referenced using the val() method. E.g. val(x)

Comments

All text after the final close parenthesis for the Moka command will be considered a comment. Parentheses are not allowed in Moka comments.

Use the c() method to create a full line comment. E.g. c() This is a comment.

Graphing

Graph Grid

Graph Grid is a feature in Moka that can be used to make lines along an axis to identify data point on a graph. There are a few Graph Grid attributes that can be set.

  1. xGG - x Graph Grid
    • Value is either "true" or "false"
    • Defalut value is "true"
    • If value is true, the Graph Grid along the x axis will show
    • If value is false, the Graph Grid along the x axis will not show
    • value can be set with xGG(bool)
  2. yGG - y Graph Grid
    • Value is either "true" or "false"
    • Defalut value is "true"
    • If value is true, the Graph Grid along the y axis will show
    • If value is false, the Graph Grid along the y axis will not show
    • Value can be set with yGG(bool)
  3. xGGI - x Graph Grid Increment
    • Value is a numeric value
    • Defalut value is 1
    • Increment for how far away each Graph Grid line is along the x axis
    • Value can be set with xGGI(x)
  4. yGGI - y Graph Grid Increment
    • Value is a numeric value
    • Defalut value is 1
    • Increment for how far away each Graph Grid line is along the y axis
    • Value can be set with yGGI(y)
  5. xGGMin
    • Value is a numeric value
    • Defalut value is 0
    • y value where the x Graph Grid lines should start
    • Value can be set with xGGMin(min) and xGGV(min,max)
  6. xGGMax
    • Value is a numeric value
    • Defalut value is .5
    • y value where the x Graph Grid lines should end
    • Value can be set with xGGMax(max) and xGGV(min,max)
  7. yGGMin
    • Value is a numeric value
    • Defalut value is 0
    • x value where the y Graph Grid lines should start
    • Value can be set with yGGMin(min) and yGGV(min,max)
  8. yGGMax
    • Value is a numeric value
    • Defalut value is .5
    • x value where the y Graph Grid lines should end
    • Value can be set with yGGMax(max) and yGGV(min,max)

Colors

Moka Math has 10 customizable color attributes. The colors can be set to any web color, and there are 19 preset themes to choose from.
