Table of Contents

Introduction

Monty is a simple stack-based programming language. The Monty interpreter reads Monty Bytecode files and executes the specified operations. It supports various stack manipulation and arithmetic operations.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)
  • Make

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Isaac-Ndirangu-Muturi-749/monty.git

  2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd monty

  3. Compile the Monty interpreter:

    make

This will generate the monty executable.

Usage

Run the Monty interpreter with a Monty Bytecode file:

./monty path/to/your/file.m

File Format

A Monty Bytecode file is a text file containing Monty commands. Each command is written on a new line.

Supported Opcodes

  • push: Pushes an element onto the stack.
  • pop: Removes the top element of the stack.
  • pall: Prints all the values on the stack.
  • pint: Prints the value at the top of the stack.
  • swap: Swaps the top two elements of the stack.
  • add: Adds the top two elements of the stack.
  • nop: No operation, does nothing.

Examples

Example 1

push 5
push 10
add
pall

Output:

15

Example 2
