SyntaX (bettersyntax.hpp) 🚀

SyntaX is a lightweight, header-only C++ library designed to bring the simplicity of Python's syntax together with the raw performance of C++.

Are you tired of complex C++ boilerplate code for simple tasks? SyntaX allows you to write cleaner, more readable code without sacrificing speed. It is the perfect bridge for developers who love Python's ease of use but need C++'s execution power.

🌟 Key Features

• Python-like Syntax: Familiar functions like print(), input(), and randint().
• Cross-Platform: Built-in support for Windows, Linux, and macOS using native APIs.
• Header-Only: No complex installation or linking required. Just drop bettersyntax.hpp into your project.
• Legacy Compiler Support: Specifically optimized to work with MinGW 6 and older environments where modern std::thread or std::chrono might be unstable.
• Memory Efficient: Uses constant reference passing and optimized C++ streams for maximum performance.

🛠️ Usage & Examples

To keep this documentation clean, we have provided a dedicated example file. You can find comprehensive usage examples covering:

• Simplified I/O (print and input)
• File Operations (read/write/append)
• Vector & Math Helpers (contains, sum, average, factorial)
• System Utilities (clear screen and sleep)

👉 Check out samples.cpp for ready-to-use code snippets!

📂 Installation

1. Download the bettersyntax.hpp file from this repository.
2. Place it in your project's include directory or the root folder.
3. Add #include "bettersyntax.hpp" at the top of your source code.
4. Use the bettersyntax:: prefix or add using namespace bettersyntax; to start coding!

🚀 Advanced Installation (System-wide)

If you want to use SyntaX globally on your computer like <iostream>, follow these steps:

1. Locate your compiler's include directory (e.g., C:\MinGW\include).
2. Copy bettersyntax.hpp into that folder.
3. (Optional) Rename it to bettersyntax (without the .hpp) for a cleaner look.
4. Now you can include it in any project using:

   #include <bettersyntax>
   

💻 Technical Details

The library is safely wrapped in the bettersyntax namespace to prevent name collisions with the standard library (std) or other third-party tools. It uses preprocessor directives to ensure stability across different Operating Systems.

Development Comparison

Feature	Standard C++ (STL)	SyntaX for C++ (bettersyntax)
Output	std::cout << x << " " << y << std::endl;	print(x, y);
User Input	std::string s; std::getline(std::cin, s);	string s = input("Name: ");
Random Number	min + (std::rand() % (max - min + 1));	randint(min, max);
Sleep/Wait	#ifdef _WIN32 Sleep(1000); #else usleep...	sleep(1.0);
File Reading	std::ifstream, stringstream, rdbuf()...	read_file("data.txt");
Vector Search	std::find(v.begin(), v.end(), x) != v.end()	contains(vec, x);
Math (Sqrt)	std::sqrt(val);	square_root(val);
Clear Screen	system("cls"); or system("clear");	clear();
