RPAL_Project

Introduction

This project is an implementation of an interpreter for the RPAL (Right-reference Programming Algorithmic Language) language. It was developed as part of the CS3513 - Programming Languages course by Anuja Kalhara and Pulindu Ranaweera.

How to Run

1. Clone or Download the Repository

   • Ensure all project files are in a single directory.

2. Compile the project to an exe and run (Step 4) or directly run the python interpriter (Step 5)

3. Use already built .exe

   • Open a terminal in the project directory.

     .\RPALProject.exe <switches -ast -st or none> <filepath>
     

4. Compile the Project

   • Open a terminal in the project directory.

   • Compile the source code using make compiler:

     make env
     

     or create python enviornment and activate it

     make install
     

     or install pyinstaller

     make build
     

     same can be achieved by running below command. You do not need to run below command if you have already run make build.

     python -m PyInstaller --onefile --name RPALProject myrpal.py
     

   • Run make help to see commands

     make help
     

   • .exe file will be inside dist

     .\dist\RPALProject.exe <switches -ast -st or none> <filepath>
     

5. Run the Interpreter

   • Open a terminal in the project directory.
   • Execute the myrpal.py class :

     python .\myrpal.py <switches -ast -st or none> <filepath>
     

   • <filepath> should be a text file containing valid RPAL code.

Project Structure

• Source files are located in the root directory.
• Input RPAL programs should be provided as text files.

Notes

• Ensure you have Python installed
