Zdatr: Status Quo

 

The current version of zdatr is not intended to be the final one. Although it allows queries from different input sourcesgif, quite comfortable error parsing and an acceptable runtime behaviourgif, it still lacks full variable support: The current zdatr can handle simple variables with a complete declaration part, undeclared variables and on-the-fly variables. Declaration of variables with operations over other variables is not possible in the current version. To work around this restriction, declared variables have to be given with a full declaration consisting of atoms only. Furthermore variables with different names should not be used in the position in the left-hand-sides of different equations under the same node.

	A:	<$x> == $x <>
  		<$x $y> == $y <>.
instead of
	A:	<$x> == $x <>
  		<$y $x> == $x <>.
