Soplang (short for Somali Programming Language) is a culturally-rooted programming language designed specifically for Somali speakers. It allows developers to write code using native Somali syntax and expressions.

Soplang is designed for everyone, but especially Somali speakers who want to learn programming using their native language. It's particularly useful for students, teachers, and new developers in Somalia and the Somali diaspora.

Is Soplang free to use?

Yes, Soplang is completely free and open-source under the MIT License. You can download, use, and contribute to its development without any cost.

What platforms does Soplang work on?

Soplang works on Windows, macOS, and Linux/UNIX operating systems. It has a Python-based interpreter that runs on all major platforms.

How can I contribute to Soplang?

You can contribute to Soplang by helping with code development, documentation, translations, or community building. Visit our Contribute page for more information on getting involved.

intay (while), kuceli (for), iyo xakamaynta jooji/soco—ku celcelin iyo socod shuruudeed ee Soplang.

Loops in Soplang

Soplang waxa uu taageeraa laba nooc oo loops ah: intay (shuruud) oo u dhiganta while, iyo kuceli (bilow ilaa dhamaad) oo u dhiganta for. Waxa kale oo jira jooji (break) iyo soco (continue) si aad u yeelato xakameyn faahfaahsan.

While Loop – `intay`

Koodhka ku jira block-ga wuu soconayaa inta shuruuddu tahay run:

while_basic.sop

while_basic.sop

abn i = 1
intay (i <= 5) {
  qor("i = " + i)
  i = i + 1
}

Waxay taageertaa jooji iyo soco:

while_break_continue.sop

while_break_continue.sop

abn i = 0
intay (i <= 10) {
  i = i + 1

  haddii (i % 2 == 0) {
      soco        // ka bood tirooyinka labiska ah
  }

  haddii (i == 7) {
      jooji        // jooji loop-ka marka i = 7
  }

  qor("i = " + i) // waxay daabacdaa: 1, 3, 5
}

For Loop – `kuceli`

for_basic.sop

for_basic.sop

kuceli (i 1 ilaa 5) {
  qor("Tirada: " + i)
}

Talaabo (step) la doortay:

for_step.sop

for_step.sop

kuceli (j 2 ilaa 10 :: 2) {
  qor("Step: " + j)
}

Loop Over List

loop_over_list.sop

loop_over_list.sop

teed numbers = [10, 20, 30]
kuceli (i 0 ilaa numbers.dherer() - 1) {
  qor("Element " + i + ": " + numbers[i])
}

Nested Loops

nested_loops.sop

nested_loops.sop

kuceli (i 1 ilaa 3) {
  intay (i > 0) {
      qor("Nested example")
      jooji
  }
}

Factorial with While

factorial_while.sop

factorial_while.sop

abn a = 5
abn result = 1
abn n = a

intay (n > 0) {
  result = result * n
  n = n - 1
}
qor(result)

Summary

Keyword	Meaning
`intay`	while loop
`kuceli`	for loop
`jooji`	break
`soco`	continue

Soplang loops waxay taageeraan labadaba ku-celcelin qaabaysan iyo socod ku saleysan shuruud.
