README.md

This is a starting point for C solutions to the "Build your own Interpreter" Challenge.

This challenge follows the book Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom.

In this challenge you'll build an interpreter for Lox, a simple scripting language. Along the way, you'll learn about tokenization, ASTs, tree-walk interpreters and more.

Before starting this challenge, make sure you've read the "Welcome" part of the book that contains these chapters:

• Introduction (chapter 1)
• A Map of the Territory (chapter 2)
• The Lox Language (chapter 3)

These chapters don't involve writing code, so they won't be covered in this challenge. This challenge will start from chapter 4, Scanning.

Note: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to codecrafters.io to try the challenge.

Passing the first stage

The entry point for your program is in src/main.c. Study and uncomment the relevant code, and push your changes to pass the first stage:

git commit -am "pass 1st stage" # any msg
git push origin master

Time to move on to the next stage!

Stage 2 & beyond

Note: This section is for stages 2 and beyond.

1. Ensure you have gcc installed locally
2. Run ./your_program.sh to run your program, which is implemented in src/main.c.
3. Commit your changes and run git push origin master to submit your solution to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.
