C-Lox Interpreter 🚀

An implementation of the Lox programming language Interpreter written in C. This interpreter is based on the book "Crafting Interpreters" by Robert Nystrom and tested via Codecrafters.

About Lox 📖

Lox is a dynamically-typed scripting language that supports object-oriented programming with classes and inheritance. This implementation follows the bytecode interpreter pattern.

Running the Interpreter

interpret a Lox script:

./run <filename>.lox

Example Lox Program 📝

// This is a simple Lox program
fun fib(n) {
  if (n <= 1) return n;
  return fib(n - 2) + fib(n - 1);
}

print fib(10); // Outputs: 55
