![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
- verify the version/revision of your currently running (compiler/interpreter/byte-compiler/runtime environment/whatever your language uses) and exit if it is too old.
- check whether the variable "bloop" exists and whether the math-function "abs()" is available and if yes compute abs(bloop).
- Extra credit
- Report the number of integer variables in global scope, and their sum.
Ada
Ada doesn't allow you to ask about compiler versions, but you can query specific parameters of the target, such as the range of the standard integer type, or the precision of the standard floating point type: <lang ada>with Ada.Integer_Text_IO, Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Introspection is use Ada.Integer_Text_IO, Ada.Text_IO; begin Put ("Integer range: "); Put (Integer'First); Put (" .. "); Put (Integer'Last); New_Line; Put ("Float digits: "); Put (Float'Digits); New_Line; end Introspection;</lang>
All Ada compilers recognize obsolete parts of a programs and either automatically recompile them or fail to link the program.
Aikido
The version of the Aikido interpreter is in the global scope variable version. AIkido doesn't have abs
but it does have fabs
. Getting the variables in main involves getting their names and then evaluating them as an expression in order to retrieve their type.
<lang aikido>
import math
if (version < 144) {
throw "Version of aikido is too old"
}
var bloop = -1.4
// Math package doesn't have 'abs'. We'll use 'fabs' instead. if ("fabs" in Math) {
if ("bloop" in main) { println ("fabs(bloop) is " + eval ("Math.fabs(bloop)")) }
}
var x = 104 var y = 598 var z = "hello" var a = 1234
function count_ints {
// there are builtin integer variables that we don't want to count. There are // 3 of them var intcount = 0 // map of builtin variables we want to ignore var ignore = {"version":true, "int":true, "integer":true} var sum = 0
// the 'split' function can be used to split a block into a vector of the names // of the variables within it foreach v split (main, 0) { var varname = v try { var value = eval (varname) if (typeof(value) == "integer") { if (varname in ignore) { continue } intcount++ sum += value } } catch (e) { // ignore exception } } println ("There are " + intcount + " integer variables in the global scope") println ("Their sum is " + sum)
}
count_ints()
</lang>
Here is the result:
fabs(bloop) is 1.4 There are 3 integer variables in the global scope Their sum is 1936
ALGOL 68
ALGOL 68 doesn't allow you to ask about compiler versions, but you can use constants specifying parameters of the target, such as the range of the standard integer type, or the precision of the standard floating point type.
Also: The constant(s) int lengths (real lengths) is the number (+1) of long precision types of int (reals) available at run time.
<lang algol68>BEGIN
print (("Integer range: ", -max int, " .. ", max int, new line)); print (("Integer digits: ", int width, new line)); print (("Float range: ", -max real, " .. ", max real, new line)); print (("Float digits: ", real width, new line))
END</lang>
- Output:
Integer range: -2147483647 .. +2147483647 Integer digits: +10 Float range: -1.79769313486235e+308 .. +1.79769313486235e+308 Float digits: +15
The types of a value can also - crudely - be determined at run time. This is most useful for ALGOL 68's tagged unions, but it can also be used on any value. Note also that if a type is unioned with a void, then the empty value can be set to indicate that a variable has not been formally initialised to a value.
The following code demonstrates tagged-union introspection:
<lang algol68>BEGIN
MODE SSMODES = UNION(SHORT SHORT BITS, SHORT SHORT BYTES, #SHORT SHORT CHAR,# SHORT SHORT INT, SHORT SHORT REAL, SHORT SHORT COMPL); MODE SMODES = UNION(SHORT BITS, SHORT BYTES, #SHORT CHAR,# SHORT INT, SHORT REAL, SHORT COMPL); MODE NMODES = UNION(BITS, BYTES, CHAR, INT, REAL, COMPL); MODE LMODES = UNION(LONG BITS, LONG BYTES, #LONG CHAR,# LONG INT, LONG REAL, LONG COMPL); MODE LLMODES = UNION(LONG LONG BITS, LONG LONG BYTES, #LONG LONG CHAR,# LONG LONG INT, LONG LONG REAL, LONG LONG COMPL); MODE XMODES = UNION(BOOL, SEMA, STRING, VOID, CHANNEL, FILE, FORMAT);
MODE MODES = UNION(SSMODES, SMODES, NMODES, LLMODES, LMODES, XMODES);
OP REPRTYPEOF = (MODES val)STRING: CASE val IN (VOID):"VOID", (INT):"INT",(SHORT INT):"SHORT INT",(SHORT SHORT INT):"SHORT SHORT INT", (LONG INT):"LONG INT",(LONG LONG INT):"LONG LONG INT", (REAL):"REAL",(SHORT REAL):"SHORT REAL",(SHORT SHORT REAL):"SHORT SHORT REAL", (LONG REAL):"LONG REAL",(LONG LONG REAL):"LONG LONG REAL", (COMPL):"COMPL",(SHORT COMPL):"SHORT COMPL",(SHORT SHORT COMPL):"SHORT SHORT COMPL", (LONG COMPL):"LONG COMPL",(LONG LONG COMPL):"LONG LONG COMPL", (BITS):"BITS",(SHORT BITS):"SHORT BITS",(SHORT SHORT BITS):"SHORT SHORT BITS", (LONG BITS):"LONG BITS",(LONG LONG BITS):"LONG LONG BITS", (BYTES):"BYTES",(SHORT BYTES):"SHORT BYTES",(SHORT SHORT BYTES):"SHORT SHORT BYTES", (LONG BYTES):"LONG BYTES",(LONG LONG BYTES):"LONG LONG BYTES", (CHAR):"CHAR",#(SHORT CHAR):"SHORT CHAR",(SHORT SHORT CHAR):"SHORT SHORT CHAR", (LONG CHAR):"LONG CHAR",(LONG LONG CHAR):"LONG LONG CHAR",# (BOOL):"BOOL", (STRING):"STRING", (SEMA):"SEMA", (CHANNEL):"CHANNEL", (FILE):"FILE", (FORMAT):"FORMAT" OUT "ARRAY, PROC or STRUCT" ESAC;
[]MODES x = (EMPTY, 1, 2.0, 3I4, SHORT SHORT 5, SHORT 6, LONG 7, LONG LONG 8, 8r666, bytes pack("abc"), TRUE, "xyz", LEVEL 1, stand in channel, stand in, $ddd$);
STRING sep := ""; print(("Array member types: ")); FOR i TO UPB x DO print((sep,REPRTYPEOF x[i])); sep := ", " OD
END</lang>
- Output:
Array member types: VOID, INT, REAL, COMPL, INT, INT, LONG INT, LONG LONG INT, BITS, BYTES, BOOL, STRING, SEMA, CHANNEL, FILE, FORMAT
User defined "typeof" operator:
Algol68 permits the use of "operator overloading" over different types of variables. Hence the user is able to define their own introspecting "typeof" operator.
File: Typeof_operator.a68<lang algol68>#!/usr/local/bin/a68g --script #
OP TYPEOF = (INT skip)STRING: "INT"; OP TYPEOF = (CHAR skip)STRING: "CHAR"; OP TYPEOF = (REAL skip)STRING: "REAL"; OP TYPEOF = (COMPL skip)STRING: "COMPL";
printf(($g" "$,TYPEOF 1, TYPEOF "x", TYPEOF pi, TYPEOF (0 I 1 ), $l$))</lang>
- Output:
INT CHAR REAL COMPL
Array bounds can also be inspected:
File: Introspection_array_bounds.a68<lang algol68>#!/usr/local/bin/a68g --script #
[]INT x = (5,4,3,2,1);
print(("x =", x, new line)); print(("LWB x =", LWB x, ", UPB x = ",UPB x, new line))</lang>
- Output:
x = +5 +4 +3 +2 +1 LWB x = +1, UPB x = +5
AutoHotkey
<lang autohotkey>if (A_AhkVersion < "1.0.48.03") {
MsgBox % "you are using" . A_AhkVersion . "`nplease upgrade to" . "1.0.48.03" ExitApp
} bloop = -3 if bloop
if IsFunc("abs") MsgBox % abs(bloop)
return</lang>
AWK
PROCINFO is a gawk-extension
<lang AWK>
- syntax: GAWK -f INTROSPECTION.AWK
BEGIN {
if (PROCINFO["version"] < "4.1.0") { print("version is too old") exit(1) } bloop = -1 if (PROCINFO["identifiers"]["abs"] == "user" && bloop != "") { printf("bloop = %s\n",bloop) printf("abs(bloop) = %s\n",abs(bloop)) } exit(0)
} function abs(x) { if (x >= 0) { return x } else { return -x } } </lang>
- Output:
bloop = -1 abs(bloop) = 1

C
Determining the make and version of the compiler, C standard, and environment features is one of the primary uses of the C preprocessor. This has allowed C to become the lingua franca of the open source movement.
<lang c>#if !defined(__STDC_VERSION__) || __STDC_VERSION__ < 199901L
#pragma error("C compiler must adhere to at least C99 for the following code.") #else /* rest of file */ #endif</lang>
However, there is no facility in C for checking whether individual variables and functions have been declared. In open source, the GNU autotools are often used for this purpose, doing this kind of check in a shell script and defining symbols such as HAVE_ABS which can be checked by the preprocessor.
C#
There has to be some caveats made with C#. There are no truly "global" variables - just publicly exported ones from individual classes/types. I chose to make a couple of public static variables in my program's class. Also, the "version" of the compiler is difficult to impossible to get at. There are no predefined compiler constants that can be compared against as in C/C++ but then again, it's hardly the thing that counts in C#. What really counts is the version of .NET and the framework you're working with since that determines what C++ features you can use and the various calls that can be made. Consequently, I check the .NET version to make sure it's past 4.0 and exit if not. <lang csharp>using System; using System.Reflection;
namespace Rosetta_Introspection { static public class Program { static public int bloop = -10; static public int bloop2 = -20;
public static void Main() { var asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); var version = int.Parse(asm.ImageRuntimeVersion.Split('.')[0].Substring(1)); if (version < 4) { Console.WriteLine("Get with the program! I'm outta here!"); return; }
FieldInfo bloopField = null;
foreach (var type in asm.GetExportedTypes()) { foreach (var field in type.GetFields()) { if (field.Name != "bloop") { continue; } bloopField = field; if (bloopField.FieldType != typeof(int)) { throw new InvalidProgramException("bloop should be an integer"); } break; } if (bloopField != null) { break; } }
if (bloopField == null) { throw new InvalidProgramException("No bloop exported value"); } foreach (var refAsm in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()) { foreach (var type in refAsm.GetExportedTypes()) { if (type.Name == "Math") { var absMethod = type.GetMethod("Abs", new Type[] { typeof(int) }); if (absMethod != null) { Console.WriteLine("bloop's abs value = {0}", absMethod.Invoke(null, new object[] { bloopField.GetValue(null) })); } } } }
int intCount = 0; int total = 0;
foreach (var type in asm.GetExportedTypes()) { foreach (var field in type.GetFields()) { if (field.FieldType == typeof(int)) { intCount++; total += (int)field.GetValue(null); } } } Console.WriteLine("{0} exported ints which total to {1}", intCount, total); Console.ReadKey(); } } } </lang>
- Output:
bloop's abs value = 10 2 exported ints which total to -30
C++
Identifying the version of the C++ standard used by the compiler in C++ is syntactically very similar to the way of checking the C standard version (also seen on this page).
<lang cpp>#if !defined(__cplusplus) || __cplusplus < 201103L
#pragma error("The following code requires at least C++11.")
- else
// ...
- endif</lang>
As in C, the introspective capabilities of C++ are very limited.
Clojure
Partial answer... <lang clojure>
- check Java version
(let [version (Double/parseDouble (re-find #"\d*\.\d*" (System/getProperty "java.version")))]
(if (>= version 1.5) (println "Version ok") (throw (Error. "Bad version"))))
- check Clojure version
(let [version (Double/parseDouble (re-find #"\d*\.\d*" (clojure-version)))]
(if (>= version 1.0) (println "Version ok") (throw (Error. "Bad version"))))
</lang>
Common Lisp
<lang lisp>(let* ((ver (lisp-implementation-version))
(major (parse-integer ver :start 0 :end (position #\. ver)))) #+lispworks (assert (>= 5 major) () "Requires Lispworks version 5 or above") #+clisp (assert (>= 2 major) () "Requires CLISP 2.n") )</lang>
<lang lisp>(defvar bloop -4) (if (and (fboundp 'abs)
(boundp 'bloop)) (format t "~d~%" (abs bloop)))</lang>
The list-all-packages and do-symbols forms enable a lisp program to examine all symbols and these can be tested to identify integer variables. <lang lisp>(let ((sum 0)
(ints '())) (loop for pkg in (list-all-packages) do (do-symbols (s pkg) (when (and (boundp s) (integerp (symbol-value s))) (push s ints) (incf sum (symbol-value s))))) (format t "there are ~d integer variables adding up to ~d~%" (length ints) sum))</lang>
D
With extra credit. <lang d>// Some module-level variables (D doesn't have a global scope). immutable x = 3, y = 100, z = 3_000; short w = 1; // Not an int, must be ignored. immutable s = "some string"; // Not an int, must be ignored.
void main() {
import std.compiler, std.math, std.traits;
// Compile-time constants of the compiler version: static assert(version_major > 1 && version_minor > 50, "I can't cope with this compiler version.");
immutable bloop = 10;
// To check if something compiles: static if (__traits(compiles, bloop.abs)) { pragma(msg, "The expression is compilable."); auto x = bloop.abs; } else { pragma(msg, "The expression can't be compiled."); }
import std.stdio; immutable s = 10_000; // Not at module scope, must be ignored.
int tot = 0; /*static*/ foreach (name; __traits(allMembers, mixin(__MODULE__))) static if (name != "object" && is(int == Unqual!(typeof(mixin("." ~ name))))) tot += mixin("." ~ name); writeln("Total of the module-level ints (could overflow): ", tot);
}</lang>
- Output:
The expression is compilable. Total of the module-level ints (could overflow): 3103
E
Version: <lang e>def version := interp.getProps()["e.version"]</lang>
(There is no built-in version comparison, and the author of this example assumes that implementing a version comparison algorithm isn't the point of this task.)
Existence: <lang e>escape fail {
def &x := meta.getState().fetch("&bloop", fn { fail("no bloop") }) if (!x.__respondsTo("abs", 0)) { fail("no abs") } x.abs()
}</lang>
This will return either bloop.abs(), "no bloop", or "no abs".
Sum of integers: <lang e>{
var sum := 0 for &x in interp.getTopScope() { sum += try { x :int } catch _ { 0 } } sum
}</lang>
try
rather than an ordinary type check is used because in general a slot might be broken; this way we skip over all read failures as well as non-integers. The block around the code ensures that the sum variable itself will not be involved in the computation.
EchoLisp
<lang scheme> (version) → EchoLisp - 2.50.3
📗 local-db: db.version: 3
(when (< (version) 2.6)
(writeln "Please reload EchoLisp : CTRL-F5, CMD-R or other...") (exit))
(if (and (bound? 'bloop) (bound? 'abs) (procedure? abs))
(abs bloop) 'NOT-HERE) → NOT-HERE
(define bloop -777)
→ bloop
(if (and (bound? 'bloop) (bound? 'abs) (procedure? abs)) (abs bloop) 'NOT-HERE)
→ 777
(for/sum ((kv (environment-bindings user-initial-environment )))
#:when (integer? (second kv)) (writeln kv) (second kv))
("bloop" -777) ("gee" 555) ("buzz" 333) → 111 ;; sum
</lang>
Erlang
Erlang does not have global variables so I look for a function bloop/0 that returns an integer. Moreover, I sum the available modules, instead of the unavailable global integers. <lang Erlang> -module( introspection ).
-export( [task/0] ).
task() ->
exit_if_too_old( erlang:system_info(otp_release) ), Bloop = lists:keyfind( bloop, 1, ?MODULE:module_info(functions) ), Abs = lists:keyfind( abs, 1, erlang:module_info(exports) ), io:fwrite( "abs( bloop ) => ~p~n", [call_abs_with_bloop(Abs, Bloop)] ), io:fwrite( "Number of modules: ~p~n", [erlang:length(code:all_loaded())] ).
bloop() -> -1.
call_abs_with_bloop( {abs, 1}, {bloop, 0} ) -> erlang:abs( bloop() ); call_abs_with_bloop( _Missing, _Not_here ) -> abs_and_bloop_missing.
exit_if_too_old( Release ) when Release < "R13A" -> erlang:exit( too_old_release ); exit_if_too_old( _Release ) -> ok. </lang>
- Output:
18> introspection:task(). abs( bloop ) => 1 Number of modules: 110
Factor
Check for build number and execute a quotation if it's too old. (There are no such things as versions for Factor yet.) <lang factor>: if-older ( n true false -- )
[ build > ] 2dip if ; inline
- when-older ( n true -- )
[ ] if-older ; inline
- unless-older ( n false -- )
[ [ ] ] dip if-older ; inline
900 [ "Your version of Factor is too old." print 1 exit ] when-older</lang>
It is possible to test if a function or a variable exists (search
), but that shouldn't be used outside of parsing.
<lang factor>"bloop" search [
get [ "abs" search [ execute( n -- n' ) ] when* ] [ 0 ] if*
] [ 0 ] if*</lang>
On the other hand, it is possible to search the global namespace for integer variables: <lang factor>USING: assocs formatting kernel math namespaces ;
0 0 global [
nip dup integer? [ + [ 1 + ] dip ] [ drop ] if
] assoc-each "There are %d integer variables, the sum is %d\n" printf</lang>
Forth
Standard Forth doesn't necessarily provide for version numbers, but you can query information about the environment at interpretation time:
<lang forth>s" MAX-U" environment? [IF]
0xffffffff <> [IF] .( Requires 32 bits! ) bye [THEN]
[THEN]
[defined] bloop [if] [defined] abs [if]
bloop @ abs
[then] [then]</lang> 4tH is able to fulfill all requirements. Note that since only one variable has been declared, the sum of all integer (user)variables is consequently the value of that variable.
<lang forth>[hex] 362 [decimal] 4TH# - [if] [abort] [then]
-32 value bloop [defined] bloop [if]
[defined] abs [if] bloop abs . cr [then]
[then]

Go
Task variance: "exit if it is too old" is not done here. Go version strings do not present an easily interpreted chronology. This version of the program simply prints the version string. <lang go>package main

)

Work to do for extra credit involves not just locating symbols, but decoding the fields of the the symbol table entries. Note that once this is done, the basic task could be improved to compute abs(bloop) by accessing values located from symbol table data only, and the expression math.Abs(bloop) would not have to appear in the source code. This would seem in the spirit of the task.

Inform 7
Inform 7 doesn't have built-in functionality for checking the runtime version number, but the version number is available and can be read by including a snippet of Inform 6 code. The address and format of the version number vary according to the virtual machine being targeted. <lang inform7>Home is a room.
When play begins: let V be the current runtime version; if V is less than the required runtime version: say "Version [required runtime version] required, but [V] found."; otherwise: say "Your interpreter claims version [V]."; end the story.
A version is a kind of value.
Section - Checking the version (for Glulx only)
1.255.255 specifies a version with parts major, minor (without leading zeros), and subminor (without leading zeros).
To decide which version is current runtime version: (- (0-->1) -). To decide which version is required runtime version: decide on 3.1.2.
Section - Checking the version (for Z-machine only)
1.255 specifies a version with parts major and minor (without leading zeros).
To decide which version is current runtime version: (- ($32-->0) -). To decide which version is required runtime version: decide on 1.1.</lang>
It's not possible to check for the existence of functions (invoking a nonexistent phrase causes a compile-time error) or list global variables.

J
Exit if we're running an old version of J (earlier than version 6, which is current as of this writing), giving version number as the exit status: <lang j>6 (2!:55@:]^:>) 0 ". 1 { 9!:14</lang> Compute abs(bloop) if abs is a function and bloop is data: <lang j>".(#~3 0*./ .=4!:0@;:)'abs bloop'</lang> Extra credit: report the number of integer variables in global scope, and their sum: <lang j>((],&(+/);@#~)((=<.)@[^:](-:$)*.0=0{.@#,)&>)".&.>4!:1]0</lang>
This last expression is longer than the others, because it has a couple of extra guard checks; in J, the programmer doesn't need to care if the data is a single number or an array, or what hardware representation is used for numbers (32-bit int, IEEE float, etc).
So this expression takes pains to emulate solutions in other languages (i.e. only reports globals that are single numbers, and whose value = floor(value), so that even if the number is represented as a float in the machine, you still get the right answer).
Java
You can't see if a variable or function is available in Java (it will be a compile time error if you try to use them when you they aren't available), but you can check the version number using the System class: <lang java>public class VersCheck { public static void main(String[] args) { String vers = System.getProperty("java.version"); vers = vers.substring(0,vers.indexOf('.')) + "." + //some String fiddling to get the version number into a usable form vers.substring(vers.indexOf('.')+1,vers.lastIndexOf('.')); if(Double.parseDouble(vers) >= 1.5){ System.out.println("YAY!"); }else{ System.err.println("Must use Java >=1.5"); } } }</lang>
JavaScript
It is generally out of favor to explicitly test versions in JavaScript, due to the immense variety of implementations; instead, one should use “feature testing”, executing code to check for the desired behavior. Checking for “abs” as in this task is an example of feature testing.
Testing whether the variable “bloop” exists:
<lang javascript>if (typeof bloop !== "undefined") { ... }</lang>
The typeof
operator explicitly does not throw an error when given an undeclared variable.
Test whether Math.abs()
is available:
<lang javascript>if ("abs" in Math) { ... }</lang>
abs
is a method of the Math object, methods are properties, and the in
operator tests whether an object has the named property.
Jsish
<lang javascript>/* Introspection, in jsish */ if (Info.version() < Util.verConvert('2.8.6')) {
puts("need at least version 2.8.6 of jsish for this application"); exit(1);
}
/* Check for "abs()" as function and "bloop" as defined value, call if both check true */ if ((bloop != undefined) && (typeof Math.abs == 'function')) {
puts(Math.abs(bloop));
}
/* ECMAScript, this will sum all numeric values, not just strict integers */ var nums = 0, sums = 0, v; for (v of Info.vars(this)) {
if (isFinite(this[v])) { nums++; sums += this[v]; }
} printf("%d numerics with sum of: %d\n", nums, sums);</lang>

Kotlin
We will use Java reflection for this task as Kotlin's own reflection facilities do not appear to be able to deal generically with top-level entities at the present time (i.e. ::class isn't yet supported): <lang scala>// version 1.0.6 (intro.kt)
import java.lang.reflect.Method
val bloop = -3 val i = 4 val j = 5 val k = 6
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
// get version of JVM val version = System.getProperty("java.version") if (version >= "1.6") println("The current JVM version is $version") else println("Must use version 1.6 or later")
// check that 'bloop' and 'Math.abs' are available // note that the class created by the Kotlin compiler for top level declarations will be called 'IntroKt' val topLevel = Class.forName("IntroKt") val math = Class.forName("java.lang.Math") val abs = math.getDeclaredMethod("abs", Int::class.java) val methods = topLevel.getDeclaredMethods() for (method in methods) { // note that the read-only Kotlin property 'bloop' is converted to the static method 'getBloop' in Java if (method.name == "getBloop" && method.returnType == Int::class.java) { println("\nabs(bloop) = ${abs.invoke(null, method.invoke(null))}") break } }
// now get the number of global integer variables and their sum var count = 0 var sum = 0 for (method in methods) { if (method.returnType == Int::class.java) { count++ sum += method.invoke(null) as Int } } println("\nThere are $count global integer variables and their sum is $sum")

Locomotive Basic
To get the BASIC ROM version number, we need to use a Z80 machine code routine which copies the version number (major/minor/patchlevel) to RAM where BASIC can then read it. Here is the assembly:
<lang z80>org &4000 ; program start address
push bc push de push hl push af ld bc,&df00 ; select BASIC ROM out (c),c ; (ROM 0)
ld bc,&7f86 ; make ROM accessible at &c000 out (c),c ; (RAM block 3)
ld hl,&c001 ; copy ROM version number to RAM ld de,&4040 ld bc,3 ldir
ld bc,&7f8e ; turn off ROM out (c),c pop af pop hl pop de pop bc ret</lang>
The following BASIC program POKEs that routine into memory and quits prematurely if BASIC 1.0 is detected (meaning the machine is a CPC464), as opposed to the more standard 1.1 or later:
<lang locobasic>10 s=&4000:SYMBOL AFTER 256:MEMORY s-1 20 FOR i=0 to 34:READ a:POKE s+i,a:NEXT 30 DATA &c5,&d5,&e5,&f5,&01,&00,&df,&ed,&49,&01,&86,&7f,&ed,&49 40 DATA &21,&01,&c0,&11,&40,&40,&01,&03,&00,&ed,&b0 50 DATA &01,&8e,&7f,&ed,&49,&f1,&e1,&d1,&c1,&c9 60 CALL s 70 PRINT "BASIC ROM version is ";PEEK(&4040);".";PEEK(&4041);".";PEEK(&4042) 80 IF PEEK(&4041)=0 THEN PRINT "Uh oh, you are still using BASIC 1.0":END 90 PRINT "You are using BASIC 1.1 or later, program can continue"</lang>
The second subtask, testing for the presence of a variable, is done here by trying to get the memory address of the variable. If that fails, it is obviously is not yet defined:
<lang locobasic>1 ' decide randomly whether to define the variable: 10 IF RND>.5 THEN bloop=-100*RND 20 ON ERROR GOTO 100 30 a=@bloop ' try to get a pointer 40 PRINT "Variable bloop exists and its value is",bloop 50 PRINT "ABS of bloop is",ABS(bloop) 90 END 100 IF ERL=30 THEN PRINT "Variable bloop not defined":RESUME 90</lang>
(Like the Spectrum version, we have omitted checking for ABS because it is a builit-in function of the BASIC interpreter and therefore always present.)
Extra credit: Finally, we can traverse the memory area where BASIC stores its integer, real, and string variables and add together all integers (type 1):
<lang locobasic>10 ' The program should find and add those three integers (%), ignoring reals: 20 foo%=-4:bar%=7:baz%=9:somereal=3.141 30 varstart=&ae68 ' for CPC 664 and 6128 40 ' varstart=&ae85 ' (use this line instead on the CPC 464) 50 start=PEEK(varstart)+256*PEEK(varstart+1) 60 WHILE start<HIMEM 70 j=2:WHILE j<43 ' skip variable name 80 IF PEEK(start+j)=0 GOTO 170 90 IF PEEK(start+j)>127 THEN ptr=start+j+1:j=100 100 j=j+1:WEND 110 vartype=PEEK(ptr) ' integer=1, string=2, real=4 120 IF vartype=1 THEN sum=sum+UNT(PEEK(ptr+1)+256*PEEK(ptr+2)):num=num+1:nvar=ptr+3 130 IF vartype=2 THEN nvar=ptr+4 140 IF vartype=4 THEN nvar=ptr+6 150 start=nvar 160 WEND 170 PRINT "There are"num"integer variables." 180 PRINT "Their sum is"sum</lang>

Maple
The "version" kernel option returns a string similar to <lang Maple>> kernelopts( 'version' );
Maple 16.00, SUN SPARC SOLARIS, Mar 3 2012, Build ID 732982</lang>
The following does the trick for the first bit. <lang Maple>> if sscanf( (StringTools:-Split(kernelopts(version))[2]), "%d.%d" )[1] < 300 then `quit`(1) end;</lang> (There is also an internal "version" procedure, which returns a build ID, but this is less obvious to use, as you'd need a table mapping versions to build IDs. Besides, it prints stuff.)
It doesn't really make sense to ask whether a variable "exists"; it springs into existence by uttering it in code. So I'll interpret the problem as asking whether it is assigned some kind of numeric value to which abs() can be applied. <lang Maple>> if type( bloop, complex( extended_numeric ) ) and type( abs, mathfunc ) then print( abs( bloop ) ) end:
1/2 13</lang>
Note that it is not necessary to check that the name "bloop" is assigned (though it is possible to do so), since an unassigned name is a first-class value in Maple. Another possible interpretation is that the symbolic expression <lang Maple>> abs( bloop );
| bloop |</lang>
is a perfectly good expression in Maple, so checking for the the "existence" of "bloop" isn't necessary in the first place. (One probably would not bother to check that abs() was actually there either, unless one expected that the standard library was broken.)
Here are the number and sum of the assigned integer globals in my current (fresh) session. <lang Maple>> nops([anames](integer));

Checking if an identifier (a value or a function) is bound doesn't make any sens in OCaml, which is strongly staticaly typed.
For optionnal values we would rather use a structure to contain them, for example an association lists for a small amount of items, or an hash table for a huge amount of data. Both can contain expressions or functions.

Oz
We cannot check whether a variable is in scope (static property). We can check whether a module exports a certain value. However, for system modules the compiler will refuse to compile if we try to use a non-existing value. <lang oz>declare
Version = {Property.get 'oz.version'} %% Version is an atom like '1.4.0'. So we can not compare it directly. %% Extract the version components: [Major Minor Release] = {Map {String.tokens {Atom.toString Version} &.} String.toInt}
in

Perl
<lang perl>require v5.6.1; # run time version check require 5.6.1; # ditto require 5.006_001; # ditto; preferred for backwards compatibility</lang>
To check if a variable exists, do a name lookup of it in the package symbol table: <lang perl>#$bloop = -123; # uncomment this line to see the difference no strict 'refs'; # referring to variable by name goes against 'strict' pragma if (defined($::{'bloop'})) {print abs(${'bloop'})} else {print "bloop isn't defined"};</lang>
To check if certain built-in function is available (maybe you are using a stripped down build of perl binary, for example), one can use eval, but make sure the statement you are eval'ing doesn't have side effect: <lang perl>eval('abs(0)'); # eval("") instead of eval{}; the latter is not for run-time check print "abs() doesn't seem to be available\n" if $@;</lang>
To check if a package or object provides certain method name, use 'can': <lang perl>use Math::Complex; my $cpl = Math::Complex->new(1,1);
print "package Math::Complex has 'make' method\n"
if Math::Complex->can('make');
print "object \$cpl does not have 'explode' method\n"
unless $cpl->can('explode');
</lang> Keep in mind that what a package has as method names are not equal to what method names can be called on this package, due to things like AUTOLOAD. For most uses, introspection is meaningless, just call the method (and catch exceptions if it's important).
An example that solves the task: <lang perl>use 5.010; our $bloop = -12; if (defined $::bloop) {
if (eval { abs(1) }) { say 'abs($bloop) is ' . abs($::bloop); } else { say 'abs() is not available'; }
} else {
say '$bloop is not defined';
}</lang>
Note that this program will exit with a message "Perl v5.10.0 required" if run under perl version lower than 5.10 and it actually uses a feature introduced in that version (say
).
The program checks whether the variable is actually defined and not if it just exists.
In Perl a variable can exist and have an undefined value, and checking for existence is problematic because many read-only operations may create an empty slot in the global namespace as a side effect. It doesn't make sense to calculate absolute values of existent but undefined variables so it doesn't matter in this task.
It can be tested by commenting out the our $bloop
line.
The existence of abs()
function is tested using eval
that returns false if the abs(1)
cannot be invoked which can be tested by changing the name of the function in the eval
test.
Extra task: <lang perl>use 5.010; package test; use Regexp::Common; use List::Util qw(sum);
our $a = 7; our $b = 1; our $c = 2; our $d = -5; our $e = 'text'; our $f = 0.25;
my @ints = grep { /^$RE{num}{int}$/ } map { $$_ // } values %::test::; my $num = @ints; my $sum = sum @ints; say "$num integers, sum = $sum";</lang> It prints:
4 integers, sum = 5
This example uses the test
namespace instead of the default, because there already are some integer numbers in the main
namespace like the PID, etc.
The program to sum those numbers would be:
<lang perl>use 5.010;
use Regexp::Common;
use List::Util qw(sum);
my @ints = grep { /^$RE{num}{int}$/ } map { $$_ // } values %::;
my $num = @ints;
my $sum = sum @ints;
say "$num integers, sum = $sum";</lang>
4 integers, sum = 74717
Phix
Phix has a version() routine which returns a string such as "0.8.0": <lang Phix>?version() ?scanf(version(),"%d.%d.%d")[1]</lang>
- Output:
"0.8.0" {0,8,0}
The scanf() result is probably easier to test against.
Phix has a builtin abs() routine, which will be auto-included if referenced. <lang Phix>include pmaths.e -- (needed pre-0.8.1 to work around a compiler bug [oops]) --include complex.e -- (not an auto-include, needed in all versions) integer r_abs = routine_id("abs") --integer r_abs = routine_id("complex_abs") if r_abs!=-1 then
?call_func(r_abs,{-42})
end if</lang>
Using complex_abs() is probably closer to the task requirement in that if complex.e is not included it will not be found/called.
In this case it happens to give exactly the same result, however under the hood it is actually returning sqrt((-42)*(-42)+(0)*(0)).
There is (as yet) no var_id() builtin, the following is a quick cobbling-together of code from builtins\VM\prtnidN.e (routine_id) and builtins\VM\pDiagN.e (ex.err file creation), not very pretty but it seems to work, and of course all this sort of stuff is normally hidden away out of sight in builtins\VM. <lang Phix>include builtins/VM/pStack.e -- :%opGetST -- copies from pglobals.e: constant S_Name = 1, -- const/var/rtn name

As-is, of course, being integer-only-and-no-routine-level-vars, the above represents very limited practical value.
Other routines of interest include <lang Phix>?platform() -- WINDOWS=2, LINUX=3 ?machine_bits() -- 32 or 64 ?machine_word() -- 4 or 8 ?include_paths() -- eg {"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Phix\\builtins\\",

?get_interpreter() -- eg "C:\Program Files (x86)\Phix\p.exe"
-- or perhaps "/home/pete/phix/p" on Linux</lang>
Phix supports the absolute bare minimum use of #ifdef, for compatibility with OpenEuphoria, however it is almost always better to use platform() and friends as normal hll code, rather than that sort of language-within-a-language stuff, imnsho, and the compiler is pretty good at optimising away most such os-specific tests and whole branches of irrelevant code (see EmitON=0).

Pop11
Variable pop_internal_version contains Poplog version in numeric form (as an integer) -- this one is most convenient for version checks. For printing one can use pop_version (which is a string containing more information).
<lang pop11>;;; Exit if version below 15.00 if pop_internal_version < 150000 then
sysexit()
endif;</lang>
Pop11 variables are named by words. Pop11 word is a unique version of string stored in dictionary. So we need first convert strings to words and then query about words. Pop11 variables can store any value including functions and in fact when one accesses a function like abs by name one merely access a variable abs which happen to hold predefined function abs. To follow spirit of the task as closely as possible we check if abs indeed holds functional value.
<lang pop11>;;; We do main task in a procedure define check_and_call(x, y);
lvars wx=consword(x), wy=consword(y); if identprops(wx) = 0 and isprocedure(valof(wx)) and identprops(wy) = 0 then return(valof(wx)(valof(wy))); else return("failed"); endif;
enddefine;
- Prints failed because bloop is undefined
check_and_call('abs' , 'bloop') =>
- Define bloop
vars bloop = -5;
- Now prints 5
check_and_call('abs' , 'bloop') =></lang>
Note that here bloop is defined as "permanent" variable, Pop11 also have lexical variables which are not available for introspection.
PowerBASIC
PowerBASIC has no way of determining if a variable "exists" in code. If variable declaration is required (using #DIM ALL
), then any attempt to use a variable without declaring it will result in a failed compile; if variable declaration is not required, then the first time the program accesses the variable it is automatically created with the default data type (which is set using DEFtype
).
The compiler directive #COMPILER
, introduced with PB/Win 8 and PB/CC 4, will fail the compile if the compiler does not match at least one of the listed compilers, and is not at least the (optional) minimum version of that compiler.

You can combine both tests, (But loose sight of which variable in missing/not callable by wrapping the whole function call in a try-except statement: <lang python>try:
print abs(bloop)
except (NameError, TypeError):
print "Something's missing"</lang>
Here is one way to print the sum of all the global integer variables: <lang python>def sum_of_global_int_vars():
variables = vars(__builtins__).copy() variables.update(globals()) print sum(v for v in variables.itervalues() if type(v) == int)

R
<lang R> if(getRversion() < "2.14.1") {
warning("Your version of R is older than 2.14.1") q() # exit R, with the option to cancel
}</lang>
The constants version
and R.version
give further information about the version that is running. The function R.Version()
provides the same information as a list.
We now perform three checks: we want to know if bloop is in the user workspace (global environment), if abs exists somewhere, and if abs is a function. <lang R>bloop <- -3.4 if(exists("bloop", envir=globalenv()) && exists("abs") && is.function(abs)) {
abs(bloop)
}</lang> Finally, we count how many integers are in the user workspace, and find their total. Note that a number followed by the letter L is considered to be an integer. See Integer_literals#R for more information. <lang R>#Declare some integers qqq <- 45L www <- -3L
- Retrieve the name of all the variables in the user workspace
var_names <- ls()
- Retrieve the actual variables as a list
all_vars <- mget(var_names, globalenv())
- See which ones are integers
is_int <- sapply(all_vars, is.integer)
- Count them
sum(is_int)
- Retrieve the variables that were integers
the_ints <- mget(varnames[is_int], globalenv())
- Add them up
sum(unlist(the_ints))</lang>
Racket
The usual hack: <lang Racket>
- lang racket

Raku
(formerly Perl 6) <lang perl6>my $bloop = -123;
if MY::{'$bloop'}.defined and CORE::{'&abs'}.defined { say abs $bloop }
my @ints = ($_ when Int for PROCESS::.values); say "Number of PROCESS vars of type Int: ", +@ints; say "PROCESS vars of type Int add up to ", [+] @ints;</lang>
- Output:
123 Number of PROCESS vars of type Int: 1 PROCESS vars of type Int add up to 28785
Obviously Raku doesn't maintain a lot of global integer variables... :-)
Nevertheless, you can use similar code to access all the variables in any package you like, such as the GLOBAL package, which typically has absolutely nothing in it. Since the PROCESS package is even more global than GLOBAL, we used that instead. Go figure...

Retro
This will exit if the version is less than 2019.6:
<lang Retro>@Version #201906 lt+ &bye if</lang>
The existence of functions can be checked using d:lookup. In this, a helper function is provided to improve readability.
<lang Retro> Checks for existence of "bloop" and "n:abs"
~~~
- executeByName (s-)
d:lookup [ d:xt fetch ] [ d:class fetch ] bi call ;
'bloop 'n:abs [ find nip ] bi@ and
[ 'bloop executeByName 'n:abs executeByName ] if
~~~</lang>
Retro has no direct way to check for data types of functions. Assuming that a word class is defined for integer variables, we could do something like this:
<lang Retro>
- 0 #0 [ dup d:class fetch &class:integer eq? [ d:xt fetch + [ n:inc ] dip ] [ drop ] choose ] d:for-each
</lang>
After execution the stack will have the number of variables found, and the accumulated sum of their values.

<lang rexx>bloop=47
if symbol('bloop')=='VAR' then say 'the "bloop" variable exists.'

In REXX, the ABS function is a built-in function (BIF). <lang rexx>bloop=47 g=abs(bloop)</lang> However, most REXX interpreters will allow this type of test: <lang rexx>if testxyz() then say 'function XYZ not found.'

Ursala
When the user defined function maybe_abs(x) is evaluated, a run time check is performed for the availability of the system library's absolute value function (fabs), and if found, it is used. If not, the function tries to invoke a replacement function named 'abs' from the imported floating point function library, flo. (The search for a replacement is performed at the time maybe_abs is compiled, and is possible because any imported library is presented as a list of (identifier:value) pairs.) If no imported absolute value function is available either, maybe_abs returns a copy of the argument x unchanged.
The #preprocess directive allows arbitrary user defined transformations to be applied to the abstract syntax trees created by the compiler (assuming a knowledge of the compiler internals). This example of a preprocessor aborts compilation if the run time system version differs from 0.10.2. Otherwise, a search is performed for any declared symbol named 'bloop' whose evaluation has been resolved, and its value is replaced with the absolute value as given by maybe_abs.
On platforms where at least one of the absolute value functions is available, the -1. shown in the source text will have been changed to 1 by the time it's displayed.

VBA
Under VBA (and most, if not all, variations of Visual Basic), accessing an undeclared variable will automatically create it as a Variant, unless declaration is required (via Option Explicit
), in which case a compile-time error is generated and the compile fails (or in the case of interpreted varieties, the code will not run).
To determine the version of the environment -- typically meaning which version of Microsoft Office is running -- the Application
object has a Version
property:
<lang vb>If Application.Version < 15 Then Exit Sub</lang>
Wren
Note that:
- Process.version is not available in the release version of Wren CLI v0.3.0 but is available in the latest build (recommended for RC use).
- Wren doesn't have reflection as such but is able to obtain and analyze the running script's source code. It is assumed for this purpose that the latter is sensibly formatted - only global declarations are not indented.
- Wren is dynamically typed and has a Num type but not an integer type. As far as the extra credit is concerned, the simplifying assumption has been made that a global variable is an integer if it's assigned an integer literal when it's declared.
