# The GEN Programming Language

GEN is a general-purpose, procedural, dynamically typed programming language based on a bytecode virtual machine interpreter written in C.

## About

Below is an example code of the GEN programming language representing a recursive fibonacci implementation without caching.

```

func fibonacci(var n) {

    var i = 0;

    while (i < n) {

        var index = i + 1;

        var value = fibonacci_recursive(i);

        fibonacci_print(index, value);

        i = i + 1;

    }

}

func fibonacci_recursive(var number) {

    if (number <= 1) {

        return number;

    }

    return fibonacci_recursive(number - 1) + fibonacci_recursive(number - 2);

}

func fibonacci_print(var index, var value) {

    print index;

    print ": ";

    print value endl;

}

func main() {

    var n = 30;

    fibonacci(n);

}

```

## Building & Running

To build and run the interpreter with the example program in the `program.gen` file, run the prepared bash script.

```bash

./scripts/interpret.sh

```

## Testing

To run the tests, run the prepared bash script.

```bash

./scripts/test.sh

```
