Defining the package#

As mentioned, we add this page to the package japan

japan

Adding knowledge#

First we define the current life expectancy in japan using the %%Constant markup.

Constant
"Life expectancy in Japan"
= 87

Let's calculate our remaining life expectancy based on our age using the %%Variable markup.

Variable
"Years to life according to life expectancy"
=
"Life expectancy in Japan"
-
Age

Compiling and testing the resulting knowledge base#

Here we define the knowledge base using/compiling two of our three packages:

Life expectancy calculator (Japan)
lifeExpectancy
japan

Quick Interview#

If not specified otherwise (by using the @package annotation), the %%QuickInterview markup will show the content of the first knowledge base, which uses/compiles the package of this page, in this case package japan.

Age
Years to life according to life expectancy
