The PPL language syntax is a mixture of C, Pascal and Basic. There are no variable types in PPL. Everything is fully transparent, from string to char to integer or double. Multi-dimensional arrays and multi-level matrices are supported while structures can be defined with specific fields sizes. Pointers can be used the same way the C language handles them. String manipulation is done transparently and allocated dynamically just like in Pascal or Basic. Linked-lists are an integral part of the variable system in PPL. You can easily create linked-list variables with arrays of different size or different structures in each element. Windows API functions are easy to access. Simply define the function, the number of input and output parameters and the interpreter will do all the necessary work including WideChar conversions.
