NAME
lerner - conversational program that learns
SYNOPSIS
lerner
DESCRIPTION
Lerner is a stand-alone conversational program that can learn by
building a vocabulary. It supports a simple grammatical syntax
containing a subject, verb and predicate. The predicate can contain
an optional adjective. The syntax is as follows:
[article] subject verb [article] [adjective] predicate
Each field must consist of a single word. The articles, "a", "an" and
"the" are optional. Statements can be made questions by adding a "?"
at the end. Questions can also start with the words "who", "what",
"does", "do", "is" and "are". The question mark is optional when
starting a question with these words.
Words must be spelled with the same capitalization as they were
defined. One exception is at the beginning of a sentence where the
first letter can be capitalized even if the word was defined in
lower-case.
Lerner supports the following commands:
vocab [word] - Print the words I know
dump - Print the words as hex codes
forget - Remove a word from memory
save - Save the words to EEPROM
reset - Reset the word table
basic - Reset the word table to a basic list
history - Print the short term memory
goodbye - Exit the program
help - Print this list of commands
Lerner normally saves its vocabulary to the EEPROM. However, the save
function has been disabled in this version.
