Yorick is an interpreted language like Basic or Lisp. For an interpreter,
|
|
Yorick is very fast for many scientific applications. It features:
|
|
|
|
* A C-like language, but without declarative statements.
|
|
* An X window system interactive graphics package.
|
|
* Yorick's binary file package can read or write floating point
|
|
formats foreign to the machine where Yorick is running.
|
|
* A library of functions written in the Yorick language.
|
|
* Provisions for embedding compiled subroutines and functions within
|
|
a Yorick interpreter.
|
|
|
|
Because Yorick can read either text or binary files, it can be used
|
|
"out of the box" as a pre- and post-processor for most existing
|
|
physics simulation programs.
