Welcome to the Monty Bytecode Interpreter. This interpreter was built in the C language and is compliant with ISO90
, ISO99
, & ISO11
. It reads Monty bytecode files of any extension (preferably .m
although it doesn't matter), and interprets the opcodes contained.
Our interpreter can be run as either a stack (LIFO) or queue (FIFO). Mode can be switched mid-script. The interpreter can handle a variety of Monty opcodes, including printing, mathematical operations, and more - all handled opcodes are listed below.
-
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Operating system reqd.
-
GCC 4.8.4 - Compiler used
-
Must have
git
installed. -
Must have repository cloned.
$ sudo apt-get install git
Clone the repository into a new directory:
$ git clone https://github.com/BennettDixon/monty.git
Compile with the following:
gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic *.c -o monty
Run the interpreter on a file:
./monty file.m
-
push
- Usage:
push <int>
- Pushes an element to the stack.
- The parameter
<int>
must be an integer.
- Usage:
-
pall
- Prints all values in the stack/queue, starting from the top.
-
pint
- Prints the top value of the stack/queue.
-
pop
- Removes the top element of the stack/queue.
-
swap
- Swaps the top two elements of the stack/queue.
-
nop
- Does not do anything.
-
add
- Adds the top two elements of the stack/queue.
- The result is stored in the second element from the top and the top element is popped.
-
sub
- Subtracts the top element of the stack/queue from the second element from the top.
- The result is stored in the second element from the top and the top element is removed.
-
mul
- Multiplies the top two elements of the stack/queue.
- The result is stored in the second element from the top and the top element is removed.
-
div
- Divides the second element from the top of the stack/queue by the top element.
- The result is stored in the second element from the top and the top element is removed.
-
mod
- Computes the modulus of the second element from the top of the stack/queue divided by the top element.
- The result is stored in the second element from the top and the top element is removed.
-
pchar
- Prints the character value of the top element of the stack/queue.
- The integer at the top is treated as an ASCII value.
-
pstr
- Prints the string contained in the stack/queue.
- Prints characters element by element until the stack/queue is empty, a value is
0
, or an error occurs.
-
rotl
- Rotates the top element of the stack/queue to the bottom.
-
rotr
- Rotates the bottom element of the stack/queue to the top.
-
stack
- Switches a queue to stack mode.
-
queue
- Switches a stack to queue mode.
#
are treated as comments and the corresponding line is ignored.
Note, Monty Interpreter runs in the default mode of STACK mode. Meaning it uses a stack. To switch to queue mode, see examples below.
Push values onto the stack and print them all, or the top of the stack/front of queue.
$ cat push_pall_pint.m
push 1
push 2
push 3
pall
pint
$ ./monty push_pall_pint.m
3

3
Using mathmatical operations to add, multiply, divide, etc. Takes the second from the top and performs the operation on the top: second_from_top / top
, second_from_top - top
, etc
. Then assigns that to the second_from_top
and pops the top element off the stack.
$ cat math.m
push 3
push 2
push 1
pall
mul
pall
$ ./monty math.m
1

6
Entering queue mode to perform all operations in FIFO (queue) mode instead of default LIFO (stack) mode. Note: does not change current stack, sets front of queue to top of stack.
$ cat queue.m
queue
push 1
push 2
push 3
pall
stack
push 4
push 5
push 6
pall
$ ./monty queue.m
