AriNET is a computer language enabling the end user to design and solve,
relatively complicated arithmetical equations.
Using various reserved keywords1, the user can model arithmetical networks, which will be eventually solved by the computer.2
The idea of AriNET hides two main concepts in terms of development:
- The writing of a language interpreter based on the constraint propagation.
- The design of a GUI, which helps the user to model and use arithmetical networks. This GUI was coded using MrEd, an extend of MzScheme3
These main concepts contain, of course, various tasks such as the designing of an environment of evaluation, the coding of an evaluator, the understanding of constraints' propagation, the implementation of a read-eval-print loop...
