REPL

Julia comes with a full-featured interactive command-line REPL (read-eval-print loop) built into the julia executable. In addition to allowing quick and easy evaluation of Julia statements, it has a searchable history, tab-completion, many helpful keybindings, and dedicated help ? and shell modes ;. [1]

This page provides examples of using REPL on the command line.

Julia REPL Example (local)

• Type julia in terminal to launch REPL

Julia REPL Help Pages (local)

• Type a function from Julia to read help pages (ex: println)
