Nasal-Interpreter/README.md

# Nasal-- Interpreter

# Nasal

Nasal is a script language that used in FlightGear.

There is a Nasal console in FlightGear but sometimes it is not so easy for every developer to use.

So this is an interpreter for Nasal written by C++.

The interpreter is still in development.Anyone who interested in this could also join us!

# Nasal--

For some reasons i will first try to make a interpreter for nasal--(???)

Maybe.Because i haven't take the lesson of 'principle of compiler'(what a shame...)

# Now complete all types

var: int   float   double   std::string   char   long long int

NasalList: array in nasal []

  append
  
  setsize
  
  subvec
  
  pop
  
  sort

NasalHash: Hash in nasal {}

  append
  
  delete
  
  contains

  keys
  
  # Now complete Lexical Analysis!
  
  What it looks like?

This is what it outputs.

# Now with var_stack and function_stack

By printing the two stacks you can see how vars and functions change!

[long long int]a:1

[double]b:3.14

[string]c:"hello world!"

function:swap

function:__main

function:hello
