jlox

Lox interpreter implemented in Java (based on the book: https://craftinginterpreters.com)

Additional features that are not in the Lox language (were left as challenges in the book)

• Nestable C-style comments (\* Foo *\, \* Foo \* Bar *\ *\)
• Conditional (ternary) operator (a > b ? a : b evaluates to the largest of the two.)
• + operator works so that if one of the operands is a string, the other is converted to a string and concatenated. ("Forty " + 2 evaluates to "Forty 2.0".)
• Throw a runtime error when trying to divide by zero.
• The REPL allows expressions as input (and not just statements), which are evaluated and shown in the interpreter.
• break and continue keywords for loops
