Getting Started with TechScript

This guide gets you up and running with your very first TechScript program.

💻 Prerequisite

Make sure you have installed the TechScript compiler and VM on your machine. If not, follow the Installation Guide.

Validate your installation:

tech version

This should output the current version of the language (e.g., TechScript v2.0.0).

🐉 Write Hello World

Create a new text file named hello.txs.
Open it in your favorite text editor (or TechScript Studio IDE) and add the following line:
```
say "Hello, World!"
```
Run the file using the CLI tool:
```
tech run hello.txs
```
You should see the output:
```
Hello, World!
```

📦 A Simple Calculations Script

Let's write a slightly more complex program that accepts user input, computes a value, and uses conditions:

# Ask user for their name
name = ask "What is your name? "

say $"Welcome, {name}!"

# Prompt for age
age_input = ask "How old are you? "
age = math.parse_int(age_input)

# Logic checks
when age >= 18
    say "You are eligible to vote."
else
    years_left = 18 - age
    say $"Come back in {years_left} years!"
end

Run this script:

tech run age_check.txs
