The Monty language

Monty 0.98 is a scripting language that is first compiled into Monty byte codes (Just like Python). It relies on a unique stack, with specific instructions to manipulate it. The goal of this project is to create an interpreter for Monty ByteCodes files.

Monty byte code files

Files containing Monty byte codes usually have the .m extension. Most of the industry uses this standard but it is not required by the specification of the language. There is not more than one instruction per line. There can be any number of spaces before or after the opcode and its argument

The pint opcode

The opcode pint prints the value at the top of the stack, followed by a new line.

The pop opcode

The opcode pop removes the top element of the stack.

The swap opcode

The opcode swap swaps the top two elements of the stack.

The add opcode

The opcode add adds the top two elements of the stack.

The nop opcode

The opcode nop doesn’t do anything.
