<h2 id="layout-blocks">Layout blocks</h2>
<p>Sophia uses Python-style layout rules to group declarations and statements. A
layout block with more than one element must start on a separate line and be
indented more than the currently enclosing layout block. Blocks with a single
element can be written on the same line as the previous token.</p>
<p>Each element of the block must share the same indentation and no part of an
element may be indented less than the indentation of the block. For instance</p>
<p><code>sophia
contract Layout =
function foo() = 0 // no layout
function bar() = // layout block starts on next line
let x = foo() // indented more than 2 spaces
x
+ 1 // the '+' is indented more than the 'x'</code></p>
<h2 id="notation">Notation</h2>
<p>In describing the syntax below, we use the following conventions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Upper-case identifiers denote non-terminals (like <code>Expr</code>) or terminals with
some associated value (like <code>Id</code>).</li>
<li>Keywords and symbols are enclosed in single quotes: <code>'let'</code> or <code>'='</code>.</li>
<li>Choices are separated by vertical bars: <code>|</code>.</li>
<li>Optional elements are enclosed in <code>[</code> square brackets <code>]</code>.</li>

</ul>
<h2 id="declarations">Declarations</h2>
<p>A Sophia file consists of a sequence of <em>declarations</em> in a layout block.</p>
<p>```c
File ::= Block(TopDecl)</p>
<p>TopDecl ::= ['payable'] 'contract' Con '=' Block(Decl)
| 'namespace' Con '=' Block(Decl)
| '@compiler' PragmaOp Version
| 'include' String</p>
<p>Decl ::= 'type' Id ['(' TVar<em> ')'] '=' TypeAlias
| 'record' Id ['(' TVar</em> ')'] '=' RecordType
| 'datatype' Id ['(' TVar<em> ')'] '=' DataType
| (EModifier</em> 'entrypoint' | FModifier* 'function') Block(FunDecl)</p>
<p>FunDecl ::= Id ':' Type // Type signature
| Id Args [':' Type] '=' Block(Stmt) // Definition</p>
<p>PragmaOp ::= '&lt;' | '=&lt;' | '==' | '&gt;=' | '&gt;'
Version ::= Sep1(Int, '.')</p>
<p>EModifier ::= 'payable' | 'stateful'
FModifier ::= 'stateful' | 'private'</p>
<p>Args ::= '(' Sep(Pattern, ',') ')'
```</p>
<p>Contract declarations must appear at the top-level.</p>
<p>For example,
<code>sophia
contract Test =
type t = int
entrypoint add (x : t, y : t) = x + y</code></p>
<p>There are three forms of type declarations: type aliases (declared with the
<code>type</code> keyword), record type definitions (<code>record</code>) and data type definitions
(<code>datatype</code>):</p>
<p>```c
TypeAlias ::= Type
RecordType ::= '{' Sep(FieldType, ',') '}'
DataType ::= Sep1(ConDecl, '|')</p>
<p>FieldType ::= Id ':' Type
ConDecl ::= Con ['(' Sep1(Type, ',') ')']
```</p>
<p>For example,
<code>sophia
record point('a) = {x : 'a, y : 'a}
datatype shape('a) = Circle(point('a), 'a) | Rect(point('a), point('a))
type int_shape = shape(int)</code></p>
<h2 id="types">Types</h2>
<p>```c
Type ::= Domain '=&gt;' Type // Function type
| Type '(' Sep(Type, ',') ')' // Type application
| '(' Type ')' // Parens
| 'unit' | Sep(Type, '*') // Tuples
| Id | QId | TVar</p>
<p>Domain ::= Type // Single argument
| '(' Sep(Type, ',') ')' // Multiple arguments
```</p>
<p>The function type arrow associates to the right.</p>
<p>Example,
<code>sophia
'a =&gt; list('a) =&gt; (int * list('a))</code></p>
<h2 id="statements">Statements</h2>
<p>Function bodies are blocks of <em>statements</em>, where a statement is one of the following</p>
<p>```c
Stmt ::= 'switch' '(' Expr ')' Block(Case)
| 'if' '(' Expr ')' Block(Stmt)
| 'elif' '(' Expr ')' Block(Stmt)
| 'else' Block(Stmt)
| 'let' LetDef
| Expr</p>
<p>LetDef ::= Id Args [':' Type] '=' Block(Stmt) // Function definition
| Pattern '=' Block(Stmt) // Value definition</p>
<p>Case ::= Pattern '=&gt;' Block(Stmt)
Pattern ::= Expr
```</p>
<p><code>if</code> statements can be followed by zero or more <code>elif</code> statements and an optional final <code>else</code> statement. For example,</p>
<p><code>sophia
let x : int = 4
switch(f(x))
None =&gt; 0
Some(y) =&gt;
if(y &gt; 10)
"too big"
elif(y &lt; 3)
"too small"
else
"just right"</code></p>
<h2 id="expressions">Expressions</h2>
<p>```c
Expr ::= '(' LamArgs ')' '=&gt;' Block(Stmt) // Anonymous function (x) =&gt; x + 1
| '(' BinOp ')' // Operator lambda (+)
| 'if' '(' Expr ')' Expr 'else' Expr // If expression if(x &lt; y) y else x
| Expr ':' Type // Type annotation 5 : int
| Expr BinOp Expr // Binary operator x + y
| UnOp Expr // Unary operator ! b
| Expr '(' Sep(Expr, ',') ')' // Application f(x, y)
| Expr '.' Id // Projection state.x
| Expr '[' Expr ']' // Map lookup map[key]
| Expr '{' Sep(FieldUpdate, ',') '}' // Record or map update r{ fld[key].x = y }
| '[' Sep(Expr, ',') ']' // List [1, 2, 3]
| '[' Expr '|' Sep(Generator, ',') ']'
// List comprehension [k | x &lt;- [1], if (f(x)), let k = x+1]
| '[' Expr '..' Expr ']' // List range [1..n]
| '{' Sep(FieldUpdate, ',') '}' // Record or map value {x = 0, y = 1}, {[key] = val}
| '(' Expr ')' // Parens (1 + 2) * 3
| Id | Con | QId | QCon // Identifiers x, None, Map.member, AELib.Token
| Int | Bytes | String | Char // Literals 123, 0xff, #00abc123, "foo", '%'
| AccountAddress | ContractAddress // Chain identifiers
| OracleAddress | OracleQueryId // Chain identifiers</p>
<p>Generator ::= Pattern '&lt;-' Expr // Generator
| 'if' '(' Expr ')' // Guard
| LetDef // Definition</p>
<p>LamArgs ::= '(' Sep(LamArg, ',') ')'
LamArg ::= Id [':' Type]</p>
<p>FieldUpdate ::= Path '=' Expr
Path ::= Id // Record field
| '[' Expr ']' // Map key
| Path '.' Id // Nested record field
| Path '[' Expr ']' // Nested map key</p>
<p>BinOp ::= '||' | '&amp;&amp;' | '&lt;' | '&gt;' | '=&lt;' | '&gt;=' | '==' | '!='
| '::' | '++' | '+' | '-' | '*' | '/' | 'mod' | '^'
| '|&gt;'
UnOp ::= '-' | '!'
