- The common implementations of stacks and queues
- Most common use cases of stacks and queues
- The proper way to use global variables
The Monty language Monty 0.98 is a scripting language that is first compiled into Monty byte codes (Just like Python). It relies on a unique stack, with specific instructions to manipulate it. The goal of this project is to create an interpreter for Monty ByteCodes files. Monty byte code files Files containing Monty byte codes usually have the .m extension. Most of the industry uses this standard but it is not required by the specification of the language. There is not more than one instruction per line. There can be any number of spaces before or after the opcode and its argument Monty byte code files can contain blank lines (empty or made of spaces only, and any additional text after the opcode or its required argument is not taken into account
The monty program • Usage: monty file o where file is the path to the file containing Monty byte code • If the user does not give any file or more than one argument to your program, print the error message USAGE: monty file, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE • If, for any reason, it’s not possible to open the file, print the error message Error: Can't open file , followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE o where is the name of the file • If the file contains an invalid instruction, print the error message L<line_number>: unknown instruction , followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE o where is the line number where the instruction appears. o Line numbers always start at 1 • The monty program runs the bytecodes line by line and stop if either: o it executed properly every line of the file o it finds an error in the file o an error occured • If you can’t malloc anymore, print the error message Error: malloc failed, followed by a new line, and exit with status EXIT_FAILURE. • You have to use malloc and free and are not allowed to use any other function from man malloc (realloc, calloc, …)

- add
Implement the add opcode. The add opcode The opcode add adds the top two elements of the stack. • Usage: add • If the stack contains less than two elements, print the error message L<line_number>: can't add, stack too short, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE • The result is stored in the second top element of the stack, and the top element is removed, so that at the end: o The top element of the stack contains the result o The stack is one element shorter
- nop
Implement the nop opcode. The nop opcode The opcode nop doesn’t do anything. • Usage: nop
- sub
Implement the sub opcode. The sub opcode The opcode sub subtracts the top element of the stack from the second top element of the stack. • Usage: sub • If the stack contains less than two elements, print the error message L<line_number>: can't sub, stack too short, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE • The result is stored in the second top element of the stack, and the top element is removed, so that at the end: o The top element of the stack contains the result o The stack is one element shorter
- div
Implement the div opcode. The div opcode The opcode div divides the second top element of the stack by the top element of the stack. • Usage: div • If the stack contains less than two elements, print the error message L<line_number>: can't div, stack too short, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE • The result is stored in the second top element of the stack, and the top element is removed, so that at the end: o The top element of the stack contains the result o The stack is one element shorter • If the top element of the stack is 0, print the error message L<line_number>: division by zero, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE
- mul Implement the mul opcode. The mul opcode The opcode mul multiplies the second top element of the stack with the top element of the stack. • Usage: mul • If the stack contains less than two elements, print the error message L<line_number>: can't mul, stack too short, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE • The result is stored in the second top element of the stack, and the top element is removed, so that at the end: o The top element of the stack contains the result o The stack is one element shorter
- mod
Implement the mod opcode. The mod opcode The opcode mod computes the rest of the division of the second top element of the stack by the top element of the stack. • Usage: mod • If the stack contains less than two elements, print the error message L<line_number>: can't mod, stack too short, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE • The result is stored in the second top element of the stack, and the top element is removed, so that at the end: o The top element of the stack contains the result o The stack is one element shorter • If the top element of the stack is 0, print the error message L<line_number>: division by zero, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE
- comments
Every good language comes with the capability of commenting. When the first non-space character of a line is #, treat this line as a comment (don’t do anything).
- pchar
Implement the pchar opcode. The pchar opcode The opcode pchar prints the char at the top of the stack, followed by a new line. • Usage: pchar • The integer stored at the top of the stack is treated as the ascii value of the character to be printed • If the value is not in the ascii table (man ascii) print the error message L<line_number>: can't pchar, value out of range, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE • If the stack is empty, print the error message L<line_number>: can't pchar, stack empty, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE
- pstr
