HolySHI Language

holySHI is a simple, custom programming language designed for educational purposes. It features basic integer variable declarations, arithmetic operations, and print functionality.

Features

• Variable declaration using summonsoul (supports only integer values right now).
• Arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /).
• Print statements using chant.

File Extension

The holySHI language uses the .hshi file extension for its source files.

Usage

1. Create a .hshi File

Write your holySHI code in a file with the .hshi extension. For example, create a file named example.hshi:

summonsoul a = 10;
summonsoul b = 20;
summonsoul sum = a + b;
chant(sum);

2 . Compile and Run Your Code

To compile and run your holySHI code, follow these steps:

1.Compile

g++ -o holySHI main.cpp

2.Run the holySHI programme:

./holySHI example.hshi

Sample Output

For the example.hshi file, the output will be: 30

Implementation Details

Lexer

The lexer tokenizes the source code into tokens. Each token is categorized into different types, such as Keyword, Identifier, Assignment, Number, String, Plus, Minus, Multiply, Divide, Modulus, Equal, LessThan, GreaterThan, LessEqual, LParen, RParen, Eol.

Parser

The parser processes the tokens and builds an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). It supports parsing statements and expressions, including variable declarations and arithmetic operations.

Code Generation

The code generation phase translates the AST into executable code. Currently, it generates C++ code as an intermediate step, which is then compiled and executed.

Development

Source Code Structure

• lexer.h: Contains the definitions for tokens and the lexer structure.
• lexer.cpp: Implements the lexer for tokenizing the source code.
• AST.cpp: Contains the definitions for the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) nodes.
• Parser.cpp: Implements the parser for generating the AST from tokens.
• codeGeneration.cpp: Implements the code generation from the AST to C++ code.
• main.cpp: The entry point for the holySHI interpreter.

Building the Interpreter

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/YourUsername/holySHI.git
cd holySHI

BUILD:
g++ -o holySHI main.cpp

RUN:
./holySHI <filename>.hshi
