CHAPTER
THIRTYTHREE
EVAL() AND DEBUGGING
In this chapter we are going to learn about
• Error Handling using Try/Catch/Done
• Eval() function
• Raise() function
• Assert() function
33.1 Try/Catch/Done
Syntax:
Try
Statements...
Catch
Statements...
Done
The statements in the Try block will be executed, if any error happens then the statements in the catch block will be
executed.
Inside the catch block we can use the variable cCatchError to get the error message
Example:
Try
see 5/0
Catch
see "Catch!" + nl + cCatchError
Done
Output:
Catch!
Error (R1) : Cann't divide by zero !
33.2 Eval() Function
We can execute code during the runtime from string using the Eval() function
Syntax:
235
Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.3
Eval(cCode)
Example:
Eval("nOutput = 5+2*5 " )
See "5+2*5 = " + nOutput + nl
Eval("for x = 1 to 10 see x + nl next")
Eval("func test see 'message from test!' ")
test()
Output:
5+2*5 = 15

message from test!
33.3 Raise() Function
We can raise an exception using the Raise() function
Syntax:
Raise(cErrorMessage)
The function will display the error message then end the execution of the program.
We can use Try/Catch/Done to avoid exceptions generated by raise() function.
Example:
nMode = 10
if nMode < 0 or nMode > 5
raise("Error : nMode not in the range 1:4")
ok
Output:
Line 4 Error : nMode not in the range 1:4
In raise in file testsraise.ring
Example:
try
testmode(6)
catch
see "avoid raise!"
done
testmode(-1)
33.3. Raise() Function 236
Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.3
func testmode nMode
if nMode < 0 or nMode > 5
raise("Error : nMode not in the range 1:4")
ok
Output:
avoid raise!
Line 12 Error : nMode not in the range 1:4
In raise In function testmode() in file testsraise2.ring
called from line 7 in file testsraise2.ring
33.4 Assert() Function
We can use the Assert() function to test conditions before executing the code
If the test fail the program will be terminated with an error message contains the assert condition.
Syntax:
Assert( condition )
Example:
x = 10
assert( x = 10)
assert( x = 100 )
Output:
Line 3 Assertion Failed!
In assert in file testsassert.ring
33.4. Assert() Function 237
CHAPTER
THIRTYFOUR
DEMO PROGRAMS
In this chapter we will see simple demo programs
• Language Shell
• Main Menu
34.1 Language Shell
We can create simple interactive programming environment using the next program
while true
see nl + "code:> "
give cCode
try
eval(cCode)
catch
see cCatchError
done
end
Output:
code:> see "hello world"
hello world
code:> for x = 1 to 10 see x + nl next

code:> func test see "Hello from test" + nl
code:> test()

code:> bye

Main Menu
===========
[1] Say Hello
[2] Sum two numbers
[3] Stars

# we can use Switch-ON-Other-OFF instead of IF-BUT-ELSE-OK
Switch nMenu
On 1 sayhello()
On 2 Sum()
On 3 Stars()
On 4
see "Enter Number : " give x
see "Output : "
Try
see Fact(number(x))
Catch
see "Error in parameters!" + nl
Done
On "5" return
Other see "bad option" + nl
Off
end
func sayhello
see "Enter your name ? " give fname
see "Hello " + fname + nl
func sum
see "number 1 : " give num1 see "number 2 : " give num2
see "Sum : " see 0 + num1 + num2
func stars
for x = 1 to 10
see space(8)
for y = 1 to x see "*" next see nl
next
func fact x if x = 0 return 1 else return x * fact(x-1) ok
34.2. Main Menu 239
Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.3
func space x y = "" for t=1 to x y += " " next return y

ODBC FUNCTIONS
This chapter contains the ODBC functions provided by the Ring programming language.
• odbc_init()
• odbc_drivers()
• odbc_datasources()
• odbc_close()
• odbc_connect()
• odbc_disconnect()
• odbc_execute()
• odbc_colcount()
• odbc_fetch()
• odbc_getdata()
• odbc_tables()
• odbc_columns()
• odbc_autocommit()
• odbc_commit()
• odbc_rollback()
Before using the next function load the odbclib.ring library
load "odbclib.ring"
# Use ODBC functions
35.1 odbc_init() Function
We can create ODBC Handle using the odbc_init() function
Syntax:
odbc_init() ---> ODBC Handle
242
Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.3
35.2 odbc_drivers() Function
We can get a list of ODBC drivers using the odbc_drivers() function
Syntax:
odbc_drivers(ODBC Handle) ---> List of Drivers
35.3 odbc_datasources() Function
We can get a list of ODBC data sources using the odbc_datasources() function

Catch Statements... Done The statements in the Try block will be executed, if any error happens then the statements in the catch block will be executed. Inside the catch block we can use the variable cCatchError to get the error message Example: Try see 5/0 Catch see "Catch!" + nl + cCatchError Done Output: Catch! Error (R1) : Cann't divide by zero ! 33.2 Eval() Function We can execute code during the runtime from string using the Eval() function Syntax: 235
  • 2. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.3 Eval(cCode) Example: Eval("nOutput = 5+2*5 " ) See "5+2*5 = " + nOutput + nl Eval("for x = 1 to 10 see x + nl next") Eval("func test see 'message from test!' ") test() Output: 5+2*5 = 15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 message from test! 33.3 Raise() Function We can raise an exception using the Raise() function Syntax: Raise(cErrorMessage) The function will display the error message then end the execution of the program. We can use Try/Catch/Done to avoid exceptions generated by raise() function. Example: nMode = 10 if nMode < 0 or nMode > 5 raise("Error : nMode not in the range 1:4") ok Output: Line 4 Error : nMode not in the range 1:4 In raise in file testsraise.ring Example: try testmode(6) catch see "avoid raise!" done testmode(-1) 33.3. Raise() Function 236
  • 3. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.3 func testmode nMode if nMode < 0 or nMode > 5 raise("Error : nMode not in the range 1:4") ok Output: avoid raise! Line 12 Error : nMode not in the range 1:4 In raise In function testmode() in file testsraise2.ring called from line 7 in file testsraise2.ring 33.4 Assert() Function We can use the Assert() function to test conditions before executing the code If the test fail the program will be terminated with an error message contains the assert condition. Syntax: Assert( condition ) Example: x = 10 assert( x = 10) assert( x = 100 ) Output: Line 3 Assertion Failed! In assert in file testsassert.ring 33.4. Assert() Function 237
