Characteristics

  • 12 registers A, B, C .. L with the size of 2 bytes.
  • Data Pointer of 2 bytes to point the data memory location.
  • Stack of 2 bytes for work with instructions and functions.
  • Any characters that is not a instruction is ignored.

Instructions

Command Description
a .. l Stores the value of the stack to correspondent register
A .. L Gets the value of the correspondent register and stores in the stack
p Stores the value of the stack in the Data Pointer
P Gets the value of the Data Pointer and stores in the stack
$ Stores the address of the next instruction in L register
* Jumps for the instruction pointed by the value of L register
( Jumps for the address of the symbol @ matched in the right
) Jumps for the address of the symbol @ matched in the left
@ Does nothing
! Stores the value of the stack in the data memory location pointed by Data Pointer
= Gets the value in the data memory location pointed by Data Pointer and stores in the stack
> Increments the value of Data Pointer
< Decrements the value of Data Pointer
+ Increments the value of the stack
- Decrements the value of the stack
. Clears the value of the stack
? Only executes the next instruction if the value of the stack is zero
~ Only executes the next instruction if the value of the stack not is zero
# Commentary of one line

Functions

Function Description
0 Gets input of one character and stores in the stack
1 Prints a character stored in the stack
2 Prints the message "ERROR!" and stops the program (exit status = 255)
3 Exits the program with the status code defined by the value of the stack
4 Adds the value of the A register with the value of the stack
5 Subtracts the value of the A register with the value of the stack
6 Adds 10 to the stack
7 Subtracts 10 of the stack
8 Prints the state of the machine
9 If A > B, sets stack to zero. One otherwise
