While Loop

Use the keyword chakra in Ganges for while loops.

Place the condition inside parentheses. The body goes inside curly braces. Statements inside the loop must also end with a semicolon (;).

app/main.ga

1   rama count = 0;

2   chakra (count < 3) {

3     vadha("Spin the chakra");

4     count = count + 1;

5   };

Functions (kriya)

Functions in Ganges are declared using the keyword kriya. You can assign a function to a variable just like any other value — functions are first-class citizens.

The kriya block is an expression, so it can be assigned, passed around, or returned from another function.🧠 expression-based

app/main.ga

1   rama aashirvad = kriya(god) {

2     yadi (god == "vishnu") {

3       vadha("Narayana! Narayana!");

4     } anyatha {

5       vadha("Namah Parvati Patair, Har Har Mahadev!");

6     }

7   };

8   aashirvad("mahadev");

Arrays

Arrays in Ganges are created using square brackets []. They can store multiple values in order. Access elements using zero-based indexing.

Arrays are expressions, so they can be assigned to variables, passed to functions, or returned.expression-based

app/array.ga

1   rama gods = ["vishnu", "shiva", "brahma"];

2   vadha(gods[0]);

3   vadha(gods[1]);

Hashmaps

In Ganges, hashmaps (or dictionaries) store key-value pairs. Keys are strings, and access is done via bracket notation.

Useful for fast lookups and grouping related values.

app/main.ga

1   rama gods = {

"preserver": "vishnu",

"destroyer": "shiva",

   };

5   vadha(gods["preserver"]);

6   vadha(gods["destroyer"]);

Hashsets

In Ganges, hashsets store **unique** values — duplicates are ignored. They are useful for fast membership checks and uniqueness guarantees.

Use hashset(...) to declare one, and check membership using.contains(value).

app/main.ga

1   rama gods = hashset("vishnu", "shiva", "brahma");

3   vadha(gods.contains("shiva"));

4   vadha(gods.contains("kali"));

Hashset Operations

Ganges Hashsets support key operations like membership checks, insertion, and deletion using the methods below.

app/main.ga

1   rama gods = hashset("shiva");

3   vadha(gods.has("shiva"));

4   gods.add("vishnu");

5   vadha(gods.has("vishnu"));

6   gods.remove("shiva");

7   vadha(gods.has("shiva"));
