# An interpreter in Zig

An interpreter, created as a learning playground for both [Zig](https://ziglang.org/) and interpreter.

The interpreter does the process of tokenization, parses source-code in a [REPL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read%E2%80%93eval%E2%80%93print_loop), transforms the input into a [AST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree), and evaluates the tree.

## Build executable

To build an executable, run the following cmd:

```zsh

zig build-exe src/main.zig -O ReleaseSafe --name bin

```

It'll generate `bin`, which you'd want to execute by:

```

./bin

```
