feck - An interpreted language written in Ruby
==============================================

Author: Anthony Burzillo

******

## Language

feck is a dynamically-typed, interpreted language. Some examples of feck features
include parallel assignment and boolean operators with precedence.

```shell
$ cat > test.fck
a, b, c = 5, "Hello, there"
puts a, b, c
$ ./feck test.fck
5
Hello, there
nil
```

```shell
$ cat > test.fck
x = 5
if x < 4
puts 1
elif true || false and true && false
puts 2
else
puts 3 * 2.5
end
$ ./feck test.fck
7.5
```

To see the most current possibilites in feck, see its grammar in EBNF for in
doc/feck_grammar.txt

## Execuatables

Example program:

```shell
$ cat > test.fck
puts true and
false
```

See test_programs/ for more examples.

### feck

Print out the tokens of the program:

```shell
$ ./feck -l
puts@1 | true@1 | and@1 | false@2
```

Create a representation of the symbol table of the program (with [dot] installed):

[dot]: http://www.graphviz.org/

```shell
$ ./feck -t test.fck | dot -T jpeg > table.jpg
```

Create a representation of the abstract syntax tree of the program (with [dot] installed):

```shell
$ ./feck -a test.fck | dot -T jpeg > tree.jpg
```

Run a program:

```shell
$ ./feck test.fck
false
```

### ifk - an interactive interpreter

Example usage (quit with ctrl-d):

```shell
$ ./ifk
ifk:1 > puts true and
ifk:2 ?> false
false
=> false
```

The value following the '=>' is the result of the last expression evaluated.

### pics

Creates the symbol table and abstract syntax tree

```shell
$ ./pics test.fck
```

### all

Run all four options of feck in order

```shell
$ ./all test.fck
puts@1 | true@1 | and@1 | false@2
======OUTPUT======
false
```
