+# Forth
+
+Implement an evaluator for a very simple subset of Forth.
+
+[Forth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_%28programming_language%29)
+is a stack-based programming language. Implement a very basic evaluator
+for a small subset of Forth.
+
+Your evaluator has to support the following words:
+
+- `+`, `-`, `*`, `/` (integer arithmetic)
+- `DUP`, `DROP`, `SWAP`, `OVER` (stack manipulation)
+
+Your evaluator also has to support defining new words using the
+customary syntax: `: word-name definition ;`.
+
+To keep things simple the only data type you need to support is signed
+integers of at least 16 bits size.
+
+You should use the following rules for the syntax: a number is a
+sequence of one or more (ASCII) digits, a word is a sequence of one or
+more letters, digits, symbols or punctuation that is not a number.
+(Forth probably uses slightly different rules, but this is close
+enough.)
+
+Words are case-insensitive.
+
+## Running the tests
+

+# Hamming
+
+Calculate the Hamming difference between two DNA strands.
+
+A mutation is simply a mistake that occurs during the creation or
+copying of a nucleic acid, in particular DNA. Because nucleic acids are
+vital to cellular functions, mutations tend to cause a ripple effect
+throughout the cell. Although mutations are technically mistakes, a very
+rare mutation may equip the cell with a beneficial attribute. In fact,
+the macro effects of evolution are attributable by the accumulated
+result of beneficial microscopic mutations over many generations.
+
+The simplest and most common type of nucleic acid mutation is a point
+mutation, which replaces one base with another at a single nucleotide.
+
+By counting the number of differences between two homologous DNA strands
+taken from different genomes with a common ancestor, we get a measure of
+the minimum number of point mutations that could have occurred on the
+evolutionary path between the two strands.
+
+This is called the 'Hamming distance'.
+
+It is found by comparing two DNA strands and counting how many of the
+nucleotides are different from their equivalent in the other string.
+
+    GAGCCTACTAACGGGAT
+    CATCGTAATGACGGCCT
+    ^ ^ ^  ^ ^    ^^
+
+The Hamming distance between these two DNA strands is 7.
+
+# Implementation notes
+
+The Hamming distance is only defined for sequences of equal length. This means
+that based on the definition, each language could deal with getting sequences
+of equal length differently.
