# Byte
Byte is a small interpreted programming lanuage written in C. It is similar to C in terms of features, but does memory management for you and the syntax is cleaner.
## Development
### Testing
- To run the tests: `make test TEST_FILE=`
### Building
- To build the project, run the following command: `make build`
## File Structure (Expected)
```
|-- bins # Directory for executables
|-- include # Header files
|-- libs # Libraries
|-- unity # Unit testing library
|-- examples # Example programs
|-- tests # Unit tests
|-- src # Source code
|-- core # Core files
|-- lexer.c # Lexical analyzer
|-- parser.c # Parser
|-- interpreter.c # Interpreter
|-- data # Data structures
|-- token.c # Token data structure for lexer
|-- io # Input/Output
|-- reader.c # File reader
|-- utils # Utility functions
|-- main.c # Main file
|-- .gitignore # Gitignore file for specifying ignored files/directories
|-- README.md # Project README file
|-- Makefile # Makefile for building the project
```
