REQUIREMENTS
TI-89, TI-92 II or TI-92+ calculator.

INTERPRETER
The NOOL's interpreter is a program named "e", standing for "execute".
Here's a typical line of command :
e(objectName/staticClass, method, arg1, arg2, arg3)

For example, the line Edit1.setCaption("allo") in java looks like e("Edit1",  "setCaption", "allo", null, null) in NOOL.  And the line x = Edit1.getCaption() looks like e("Edit1", "getCaption", "x", null, null).

THE APPLICATION OBJECT
This object is automaticly created when you start the interpreter.

Methods
void run()
This method is used at the beginning of a program.
Ex : e("Application", "run", null, null, null)

void terminate()
This method is usually used at the end of a program.  It can be however used anywhere to terminate an application.
Ex : e("Application", "terminate", null, null, null)

PROGRAMMING

NOOL's keywords

new
Used to create a new object.
Examples :
e("net1", "new", "TNet", null, null) //Create a new object of type Net(Network) named net1
e("rbtn1", "new", "TRBtn", "net1", null) //Create a new object of type RBtn(RadioButton) named rbtn1 that uses net1

parent
Used to use a method of the object by polymorphing it into his parent.
Example :
e("rbtn1", "parent", "getCaption", "temp", null) //Use the method getCaption() of the TButton class

this
Refer to the current object.
Example :
e(this, "setVisible", false, null, null) //Set the object visibility to false

null
The null pointer is used to indicate that a parameter isn't used.

A typical NOOL program :
e("Application", "run", null, null, null)

//instructions

e("Application", "terminate", null, null, null)

Class
A typical class :
className(this, method, arg1, arg2)
Prgm

//Methods

EndPrgm

Methods
A typical method :
If a method of the same name exist in the parent's class it will be remplaced.
if method="methodName" then

    //Instructions
    Return

endif

An over charging method :
If a method of the same name exist in the parent's class these instructions will be added.
if method="methodName" then

    //Instructions

endif

Constructors
The constructors are the methods executed at the creation of an object.

A typical constructor :
if method="Create" and arg1=null then

    //Instructions
    Return

endif

A typical parameterized constructor :
if method="Create" then

    //Instructions
    Return

endif

Object's classes
A typical object's class :
className(this, method, arg1, arg2) //A class must be parameted like it
Prgm

//Constructors

//Global variables

//Methods and over-charging methods (pre)

parentName(this, method, arg1, arg2)

//Methods and over-charging methods (post)

EndPrgm

EXAMPLES

The TCheckButton object's class
This class inherit from the TButton class.  It adds a "checked" property.

Prgm                       //

//Constructors
if method="Create" then

/*Method void setChecked(boolean)
if method="setChecked" then
 if visi="true" then

   if chk="false" then
    PANEL(xa, ya, xb, yb, 2) //Reverse color of button
   endif
  else
   if chk="false" then
    PANEL(xa, ya, xb, yb, 2) //Reverse color of button
   endif
  endif
 endif
 arg1»#this[1,7] //Save status in
 Return
endif

//Method boolean getChecked()
if method="getChecked" then
 chk»#arg1
 Return
endif

//Over-charging method (pre)
if method="Destroy" then
DelVar chk
endif

TButton(this, method, arg1, arg2) //Expand class TButton

EndPrgm
