Introduction

Monty 0.98 is a scripting language that is first compiled into Monty byte codes, similar to Python. This project aims to create an interpreter for Monty ByteCodes files.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/JosephChinonso/monty.git
cd monty

Compile the code:

gcc main.c check_arguments.c malloc_failed.c initialize_arguments.c get_stream.c -o monty

Usage

Run the Monty interpreter by providing the Monty ByteCode file as an argument:

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

Supported Opcodes

  • push: Pushes an element onto the stack.
  • pall: Prints all the values on the stack.
  • pint: Prints the value at the top of the stack.
  • pop: Removes the top element 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.

File Structure

  • main.c: Main entry point for the Monty interpreter.
  • check_arguments.c: Functions for checking command-line arguments.
  • malloc_failed.c: Error handling for malloc failures.
  • initialize_arguments.c: Functions for initializing arguments.
  • get_stream.c: Functions for getting the stream from the Monty ByteCode file.
  • monty.h: Header file containing structures and function prototypes.
