JLox

Amy Brown
Custom Implementation of the Lox language in Java via Bob Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters (https://craftinginterpreters.com) This implementation hopes to add several of the challenge features discussed in the book. Additionally, some other features plan to be added, including a more epxressive interactive mode and an extended library of native functions.

Currently implemented features:

• Interactive parser
• Functional Lexer and Scanner
• Semantic analyzer
• Lexically scoped language
• First-class Functions and closures
• Classes
• Docstrings, which are added between a callable and it's body
  fun max(a, b) "Returns the largest element of (a, b)" {...}
• Multiline embedded comments using /* */ syntax
• Ternary operator condition ? value1 : value 2
• Comma operator like C val1, val2
• Added more native functions and convenient way of extending them

Extended Native Functions:

• abs(x) find the absolute value of x
• assert(condition) throws a runtime exception if condition evaluates to false
• exit(code) Exits application with exit-code code
• help(object) Prints a help-string for a class or function;
