A programming language interpreter and compiler for the Dendron language, built with Java.

Dendron is a simple stack-based programming language that supports:

• Variable assignment (:=)
• Arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /)
• Unary operations (negation _, square root #)
• Print statements (@)

• src/dendron/tree/ - Parse tree node implementations
• src/dendron/machine/ - Virtual machine and instruction set
• src/test/ - Test runner
• assy/ - Assembly code examples
• source/ - Source code examples

• Parse Tree Construction: Builds abstract syntax trees from token lists
• Interpreter Mode: Direct execution of parse trees
• Compiler Mode: Generates stack-based machine instructions
• Virtual Machine: Executes compiled bytecode

Run the test suite:

java -cp build/classes test.DendronTest <test_directory>

Example Dendron programs:

:= x 5
:= y 3
@ + x y

This is a NetBeans project. To build:
