How do you create a simple Neural Network in Skill

Hey! 

I have been thinking of a few useful programs that could benefit from neural network, can anyone help me create  a simple one which i can enhance or play around with? :)

    Hi Adhil,

    SKILL is based on LISP, so it has the same 'confusing' parentheses, however, you may be referring to the code style - typically you may see the "C-style" syntax used as opposed to the LISP style. When you read code in to Virtuoso, if you then pretty print ('pp') the function out you will most likely see it represented in the C-style format, even if it was originally written in the LISP style format.  This is controlled by the printinfix internal switch:

    ;; check the syntax style switch setting, default is "t"
    status(printinfix)
    => t
    ;; change the syntax style to the LISP style syntax
    sstatus(printinfix nil)
    => nil
    

    So you might load some examples and then 'pp' the functions (to a file even) for further reading, in the C-style.  Of course, some of the examples might be written in a LISP 'dialect' that SKILL does not understand, so you may have some rewriting to do!

    I hope this helps!

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
