Undescriptive error messages for lowercase control flow #23

Open Swiddis opened 2 years ago

Swiddis commented 2 years ago

Issue description

When writing code which doesn't capitalize the control flow keywords (to below), the error message is very opaque.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Run the following:

pwease sum = 0
FOR i = 0 TO 5 THWEN
    FOR j = 0 to 3 THWEN
        pwease sum = sum + 1
    END
END
pwint(sum)

What's the expected result?

If we decide to ignore case on the keywords, then the code should output 15,
Or the code should yield an error message that at least points to the right area of the code.

What's the actual result?

The code yields

Owo, whats this? Invawid Syntax? Oh nyo! : Token cannot appear after previous tokens
File exwamples/nwest.pyowo, line 2

FOR i = 0 TO 5 THWEN

Hey, you can tryout this project https://github.com/radon-project/radon because this projects are not maintaining. We will move a language together. It's very exciting. We have implement class feature in our project. Also standard library and third party imports.

See you there.
