The Qmod reference manual describes the language concepts and constructs, and demonstrates them through examples. The examples are present in both input formats - the Qmod native syntax and its Python embedding.

​
Qmod Native Syntax Rules

Qmod generally follows the C language lexical and syntactic conventions. Identifiers, literal values, and inline comments, are styled after the C family, as well as syntactic nesting and statement terminators.

​
Python Embedding Design

The embedding of Qmod in Python leverages Python mechanisms for language enhancements, such as type-hints, decorators, and “magic methods”. The regular Python execution of decorated functions and the statements under them constructs a representation of the Qmod description. Expressions are generally evaluated symbolically, that is, construct a representation of the expression that retains the symbols whose values are unknown at that point.
