## Access Functions
A LIGO contract is made of a series of constant and function
declarations. Only functions having a special type can be called when
the contract is activated: they are called *entrypoints*. An
entrypoint need to take two parameters, the *contract parameter* and
the *on-chain storage*, and return a pair made of a *list of
operations* and a (new) storage.

In LIGO, the design pattern for entrypoints consists in actually
having exactly *one entrypoint*, like the `main` function in C. The
parameter of the contract is then a variant type, and, depending on
the constructors of that type, different functions in the contract are
called. In other terms, the unique entrypoint dispatches the control
flow depending on a *pattern matching* on the contract parameter.
## Entrypoints
In the following example, the storage contains a counter (of type
`nat`) and a name (of type `string`). Depending on the parameter of
the contract, either the counter or the name is updated.
In LIGO, the design pattern is to have *one* access function that
dispatches the control flow according to its parameter. Those
functions called for those actions are called *entrypoints*.
As an analogy, in the C programming language, the `main` function is
the unique access function and any function called from it would be an
entrypoint.

title: What & Why
title: Michelson and LIGO
---
Before we get into what LIGO is and why LIGO needs to exist, let's take a look at what options the Tezos blockchain offers us out of the box. If you want to implement smart contracts natively on Tezos, you have to learn [Michelson](https://tezos.gitlab.io/whitedoc/michelson.html).
Before we get into what LIGO is and why LIGO needs to exist, let us
take a look at what options the Tezos blockchain offers us out of the
box. If you want to implement smart contracts natively on Tezos, you
have to learn
[Michelson](https://tezos.gitlab.io/whitedoc/michelson.html).
> 💡 The (Michelson) language is stack-based, with high level data types and primitives and strict static type checking.
**The rationale and design of Michelson**
The language native to the Tezos blockchain for writing smart
contracts is *Michelson*, a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) inspired by
Lisp and Forth. This unusual lineage aims at satisfying unusual
constraints, but entails some tensions in the design.
Here's an example of Michelson code:
First, to measure stepwise gas consumption, *Michelson is interpreted*.
On the one hand, to assess gas usage per instruction, instructions
should be simple, which points to low-level features (a RISC-like
language). On the other hand, it was originally thought that users
will want to write in Michelson instead of lowering a language to
Michelson, because the gas cost would otherwise be harder to
predict. This means that *high-level features* were deemed necessary
(like a restricted variant of Lisp lambdas, a way to encode algebraic
data types, as well as built-in sets, maps and lists).
To avoid ambiguous and otherwise misleading contracts, the layout of
Michelson contracts has been constrained (e.g., indentation, no
UTF-8), and a *canonical form* was designed and enforced when storing
contracts on the chain.
To reduce the size of the code, Michelson was designed as *a
stack-based language*, whence the lineage from Forth and other
concatenative languages like PostScript, Joy, Cat, Factor etc. (Java
bytecode would count too.)
Programs in those languages are *compact* because they assume an
implicit stack in which some input values are popped, and output
values are pushed, according to the current instruction being
executed.
*Each Michelson instruction modifies a prefix of the stack*, that is,
a segment starting at the top.
Whilst the types of Michelson instructions can be polymorphic, their
instantiations must be monomorphic, hence *Michelson instructions are
not first-class values* and cannot be partially interpreted.
This enables a simple *static type checking*, as opposed to a complex
type inference. It can be performed efficiently: *contract type
checking consumes gas*. Basically, type checking aims at validating
the composition of instructions, therefore is key to safely composing
contracts (concatenation, activations). Once a contract passes type
checking, it cannot fail due to inconsistent assumptions on the
storage and other values (there are no null values, no casts), but it
can still fail for other reasons: division by zero, token exhaustion,
gas exhaustion, or an explicit `FAILWITH` instruction. This property
is called *type safety*. Also, such a contract cannot remain stuck:
this is the *progress property*.
The existence of a formal type system for Michelson, of a formal
specification of its dynamic semantics (evaluation), of a Michelson
interpreter in Coq, of proofs in Coq of properties of some typical
contracts, all those achievements are instances of *formal methods in
Tezos*.
Here is an example of a Michelson contract.

The contract itself contains three main parts:
The contract itself contains three sections:
- `parameter` - The argument provided by a transaction invoking the contract.
- `storage` - The type definition for the contract's data storage.
- `code` - Actual Michelson code that has the provided parameter and
the current storage value in its initial stack. It outputs in the
resulting stack a pair made of a list of operations and a new
storage value.

- `storage` - Type definition for the contract's data storage.
- `code` - Actual Michelson code that has the provided parameter & the current storage value in its initial stack. It outputs a pair of operations and a new storage value as its resulting stack.
Michelson code consists of *instructions* like `IF_LEFT`, `PUSH ...`,
`UNPAIR` etc. that are composed sequentially in what is called a
*sequence*. The implicit stack contains at all times the state of the
evaluation of the program, whilst the storage represents the
persistent state. If the contract execution is successful, the new
storage state will be committed to the chain and become visible to all
the nodes. Instructions are used to transform a prefix of the stack,
that is, the topmost part of it, for example, by duplicating its top
element, dropping it, subtracting the first two etc.
Michelson code consists of *instructions* like `IF_LEFT`, `PUSH ...`, `UNPAIR` that are bundled togeter in what is called a *sequence*. Stack represents an intermediate state of the program, while **storage represents a persistent state**. Instructions are used to modify the run-time stack in order to yield a desired stack value when the program terminates.

## Stack versus variables
## Differences between a stack and traditional variable management
Stack management might be a little bit challanging, especially if you're coming from a *C-like language*. Let's implement a similar program in Javascript:
Perhaps the biggest challenge when programming in Michelson is the
lack of *variables* to denote the data: the stack layout has to be
kept in mind when retrieving and storing data. For example, let us
implement a program in Javascript that is similar to the Michelson
above:
**`counter.js`**
```javascript
var storage = 0;
function add(a) {
storage += a
}
function add (a) { storage += a; }
function sub (a) { storage -= a; }
function sub(a) {
storage -= a
}
// We are calling this function "reset" instead of "default"
// because `default` is a Javascript keyword
// We're calling this function reset instead of default
// because `default` is a javascript keyword
function reset() {
storage = 0;
}
function reset () { storage = 0; }
```
In our javascript program the initial `storage` value is `0` and it can be modified by running the functions `add(a)`, `sub(a)` and `reset()`.
In our Javascript program the initial `storage` value is `0` and it
can be modified by calling `add (a)`, `sub (a)` and `reset ()`.
Unfortunately (???), we **can't run Javascript on the Tezos blockchain** at the moment. But we can choose LIGO, which will abstract the stack management and allow us to create readable, type-safe, and efficient smart contracts.

## LIGO for Programming Smart Contracts on Tezos
## C-like smart contracts instead of Michelson
Perhaps the most striking feature of LIGO is that it comes in
different concrete syntaxes, and even different programming
paradigms. In other words, LIGO is not defined by one syntax and one
paradigm, like imperative versus functional.
Let's take a look at a similar LIGO program. Don't worry if it's a little confusing at first; we'll explain all the syntax in the upcoming sections of the documentation.
- There is **PascaLIGO**, which is inspired by Pascal, hence is an
imperative language with lots of keywords, where values can be
locally mutated after they have been annotated with their types
(declaration).
- There is **CameLIGO**, which is inspired by the pure subset of
[OCaml](https://ocaml.org/), hence is a functional language with
few keywords, where values cannot be mutated, but still require
type annotations (unlike OCaml, whose compiler performs almost
full type inference).
- There is **ReasonLIGO**, which is inspired by the pure subset of
[ReasonML](https://reasonml.github.io/), which is based upon
OCaml.
Let us decline the same LIGO contract in the three flavours above. Do
not worry if it is a little confusing at first; we will explain all
the syntax in the upcoming sections of the documentation.

title: Functions
---
Writing code is fun as long as it does not get out of hand. To make
sure our code does not turn into spaghetti, we can structure some
logic into functions.
LIGO features functions are the basic building block of contracts. For
example, entrypoints are functions.
## Blocks
## Declaring Functions
<!--DOCUSAURUS_CODE_TABS-->
<!--PascaLIGO-->
There are two ways in PascaLIGO to define functions: with or without a
*block*.
### Blocks
In PascaLIGO, *blocks* enable the sequential composition of
instructions into an isolated scope. Each block needs to include at
least one instruction. If we need a placeholder, we use the
instruction `skip` which leaves the state unchanged. The rationale
for `skip` instead of a truly empty block is that it prevents you from
writing an empty block by mistake.

least one instruction.
```pascaligo skip
// terse style
block { a := a + 1 }
// verbose style
begin
a := a + 1
end
```
Blocks are more versatile than simply containing instructions:
they can also include *declarations* of values, like so:

The function body consists of two parts:
- `block { <instructions and declarations> }` - logic of the function
- `with <value>` - the value returned by the function
- `block { <instructions and declarations> }` is the logic of the function;
- `with <value>` is the value returned by the function.
#### Blockless functions
### Blockless functions
Functions that can contain all of their logic into a single
*expression* can be defined without the need of a block:
```pascaligo
function identity (const n : int) : int is block { skip } with n // Bad! Empty block not needed!
function identity (const n : int) : int is n // Blockless
```
The value of the expression is implicitly returned by the
function. Another example is as follows:
Functions that can contain all of their logic into a single expression
can be defined without a block. Instead of a block, you put an
expression, whose value is implicitly returned by the function, like

General iteration in PascaLIGO takes the shape of "while" loops, which
should be familiar to programmers of imperative languages. Those loops
are of the form `while <condition> <block>`. Their associated block is
repeatedly evaluated until the condition becomes true, or never
evaluated if the condition is false at the start. The loop never
terminates if the condition never becomes true. Because we are writing
smart contracts on Tezos, when the condition of a "while" loops fails
to become true, the execution will run out of gas and stop with a
failure anyway.

The first, the *iterated operation*, is an iteration over the map with
no return value: its only use is to produce side-effects. This can be
useful if for example you would like to check that each value inside
of a map is within a certain range, and fail with an error otherwise.

### Mapping of a List
### Functional Iteration over Lists
We may want to apply a function to all the elements of a list and
obtain the resulting list, in the same order. For example, we may want
to create a list that contains all the elements of another list
incremented by one. This is a special case of *fold operation* called
a *map operation*. Map operations (not to be confused by the
[map data structure](language-basics/maps-records.md)), are predefined
functions in LIGO. They take as a parameter the function to apply to
all the elements. Of course, that function must return a value of the
same type as the element.
A *functional iterator* is a function that traverses a data structure
and calls in turn a given function over the elements of that structure
to compute some value. Another approach is possible in PascaLIGO:
*loops* (see the relevant section).
In PascaLIGO, the map function is called `list_map`.
There are three kinds of functional iterations over LIGO maps: the
*iterated operation*, the *map operation* (not to be confused with the
*map data structure*) and the *fold operation*.
In CameLIGO and ReasonLIGO, the map function is called `List.map`.
#### Iterated Operation
The first, the *iterated operation*, is an iteration over the map with
no return value: its only use is to produce side-effects. This can be
useful if for example you would like to check that each value inside
of a map is within a certain range, and fail with an error otherwise.
<!--DOCUSAURUS_CODE_TABS-->
<!--Pascaligo-->
```pascaligo group=b
<!--PascaLIGO-->
In PascaLIGO, the predefined functional iterator implementing the
iterated operation over lists is called `list_iter`.
In the following example, a list is iterated to check that all its
elements (integers) are greater than `3`:
```pascaligo group=lists
function iter_op (const l : list (int)) : unit is
block {
function iterated (const i : int) : unit is
if i > 2 then Unit else (failwith ("Below range.") : unit)
} with list_iter (iterated, l)
```
> The iterated function must be pure, that is, it cannot mutate
> variables.

elements (integers) are greater than `3`:

let iter_op (l : int list) : unit =
let predicate = fun (i : int) -> assert (i > 3)
in List.iter predicate l

let predicate = (i : int) => assert (i > 3);
List.iter (predicate, l);
};
```

them a function. This is called a *map operation*, not to be confused
with the map data structure.

operation over lists is called `list_map` and is used as follows:

### Folding of over a List
#### Fold Operation
A *fold operation* is the most general of iterations. The folded
function takes two arguments: an *accumulator* and the structure
*element* at hand, with which it then produces a new accumulator. This
enables having a partial result that becomes complete when the
traversal of the data structure is over.

### Folding over a Set
### Functional Iteration over Sets
A *functional iterator* is a function that traverses a data structure
and calls in turn a given function over the elements of that structure
to compute some value. Another approach is possible in PascaLIGO:
*loops* (see the relevant section).
Given a set, we may want to apply a function in turn to all the
elements it contains, while accumulating some value which is returned
at the end. This is a *fold operation*. In the following example, we
sum up all the elements of the set `my_set` defined above.
There are three kinds of functional iterations over LIGO maps: the
*iterated operation*, the *map operation* (not to be confused with the
*map data structure*) and the *fold operation*.
#### Iterated Operation
In PascaLIGO, the folded function takes the accumulator first and the
(current) set element second. The predefined fold is called `set_fold`.
The first, the *iterated operation*, is an iteration over the map with
no return value: its only use is to produce side-effects. This can be
useful if for example you would like to check that each value inside
of a map is within a certain range, and fail with an error otherwise.
<!--DOCUSAURUS_CODE_TABS-->
<!--Pascaligo-->
```pascaligo group=a
<!--PascaLIGO-->
In PascaLIGO, the predefined functional iterator implementing the
iterated operation over sets is called `set_iter`.
In the following example, a set is iterated to check that all its
elements (integers) are greater than `3`:
```pascaligo group=sets
function iter_op (const s : set (int)) : unit is
block {
function iterated (const i : int) : unit is
if i > 2 then Unit else (failwith ("Below range.") : unit)
} with set_iter (iterated, s)
```
> The iterated function must be pure, that is, it cannot mutate
> variables.
<!--CameLIGO-->
In CameLIGO, the predefined functional iterator implementing the
iterated operation over sets is called `Set.iter`.
In the following example, a set is iterated to check that all its
elements (integers) are greater than `3`:
```cameligo group=sets
let iter_op (s : int set) : unit =
let predicate = fun (i : int) -> assert (i > 3)
in Set.iter predicate s
```
<!--ReasonLIGO-->
In ReasonLIGO, the predefined functional iterator implementing the
iterated operation over sets is called `Set.iter`.
In the following example, a set is iterated to check that all its
elements (integers) are greater than `3`:
```reasonligo group=sets
let iter_op = (s : set (int)) : unit => {
let predicate = (i : int) => assert (i > 3);
Set.iter (predicate, s);
};
```
<!--END_DOCUSAURUS_CODE_TABS-->
#### Map Operation
We may want to change all the elements of a given set by applying to
them a function. This is called a *map operation*, not to be confused
with the map data structure.
<!--DOCUSAURUS_CODE_TABS-->
<!--PascaLIGO-->
In PascaLIGO, the predefined functional iterator implementing the map
operation over sets is called `set_map` and is used as follows:
```pascaligo group=sets
function increment (const i : int): int is i + 1
// Creates a new set with all elements incremented by 1
const plus_one : set (int) = set_map (increment, larger_set)
```
<!--CameLIGO-->
In CameLIGO, the predefined functional iterator implementing the map
operation over sets is called `Set.map` and is used as follows:
```cameligo group=sets
let increment (i : int) : int = i + 1
// Creates a new set with all elements incremented by 1
let plus_one : int set = Set.map increment larger_set
```
<!--ReasonLIGO-->
In ReasonLIGO, the predefined functional iterator implementing the map
operation over sets is called `Set.map` and is used as follows:
```reasonligo group=sets
let increment = (i : int) : int => i + 1;
// Creates a new set with all elements incremented by 1
let plus_one : set (int) = Set.map (increment, larger_set);
```
<!--END_DOCUSAURUS_CODE_TABS-->
#### Fold Operation
A *fold operation* is the most general of iterations. The folded
function takes two arguments: an *accumulator* and the structure
*element* at hand, with which it then produces a new accumulator. This
enables having a partial result that becomes complete when the
traversal of the data structure is over.
<!--DOCUSAURUS_CODE_TABS-->
<!--PascaLIGO-->
In PascaLIGO, the predefined functional iterator implementing the fold
operation over sets is called `set_fold` and is used as follows:
```pascaligo group=sets
function sum (const acc : int; const i : int): int is acc + i
const sum_of_elements : int = set_fold (sum, my_set, 0)
```

LIGO is a programming language that aims to provide developers with an uncomplicated and safer way to implement smart-contracts. LIGO is currently being implemented for the Tezos blockchain and as a result, it compiles down to Michelson - the native smart-contract language of Tezos.
LIGO is a programming language that aims to provide developers with an uncomplicated and safe way to implement smart-contracts. Since it is being implemented for the Tezos blockchain LIGO compiles to Michelson—the native smart-contract language of Tezos.
> Smart-contracts are programs that run within a blockchain network.
LIGO was initially meant to be a language for developing Marigold, on top of a hacky framework called Meta-Michelson. However, due to the attention received by the Tezos community, a decision has been put into action to develop LIGO as a standalone language that will support Tezos directly as well.

To understand LIGOs design choices, its important to get its philosophy. There are two main concerns that we have in mind when building LIGO.
To understand LIGOs design choices its important to understand its philosophy. We have two main concerns in mind while building LIGO.
## Safety
Once a smart-contract is deployed, it will likely be impossible to change it. You must get it right on the first try, and LIGO should help as much as possible. There are multiple ways to make LIGO a safer language for smart-contracts.
### Automated Testing
Automated Testing is the process through which a program will run some other program, and check that this other program behaves correctly.
Automated Testing is the process through which a program runs another program, and checks that this other program behaves correctly.
There already is a testing library for LIGO programs written in OCaml that is used to test LIGO itself. Making it accessible to users will greatly improve safety. A way to do so would be to make it accessible from within LIGO.
### Static Analysis
Static analysis is the process of having a program analyze another one.
For instance, type systems are a kind of static analysis through which it is possible to find lots of bugs. There is already a fairly simple type system in LIGO, and we plan to make it much stronger.

### Conciseness
Writing less code gives you less room to introduce errors and that's why LIGO encourages writing lean rather than chunky smart-contracts.
