77
+ ## About The Language
78
+
79
+ GladLang is an interpreter for a custom scripting language. It was built as a complete system, demonstrating the core components of a programming language:
80
+
81
+ * **Lexer (`lexer.py`):** A tokenizer that scans source code and converts it into a stream of tokens (e.g., `NUMBER`, `STRING`, `IDENTIFIER`, `KEYWORD`, `PLUS`).
82
+ * **Parser (`parser.py`):** A parser that takes the token stream and builds an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), representing the code's structure.
83
+ * **AST Nodes (`nodes.py`):** A comprehensive set of nodes that define every syntactic structure in the language (e.g., `BinOpNode`, `IfNode`, `FunDefNode`, `ClassNode`).
84
+ * **Runtime (`runtime.py`):** Defines the `Context` and `SymbolTable` for managing variable scope, context (for tracebacks), and closures.
85
+ * **Values (`values.py`):** Defines the language's internal data types (`Number`, `String`, `List`, `Function`, `Class`, `Instance`).
86
+ * **Interpreter (`interpreter.py`):** The core engine that walks the AST and executes the program by visiting each node.
87
+ * **Entry Point (`gladlang.py`):** The main file that ties everything together. It handles command-line arguments, runs files, and starts the interactive shell.
88
+
89
+ -----
90
+
91
+ ## Key Features
92
+
93
+ GladLang supports a rich, modern feature set:
94
+
95
+ * **Data Types:** Numbers (int/float), Strings, Lists, Booleans, and Null.
96
+ * **Variables:** Dynamic variable assignment with the `LET` keyword.
97
+ * **Operators:** Full set of arithmetic (`+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `^`), comparison (`==`, `!=`, `<`, `>`), and logical (`AND`, `OR`, `NOT`) operators.
98
+ * **Control Flow:** `IF...THEN...ENDIF`, `WHILE...ENDWHILE`, and `FOR...IN...ENDFOR` loops.
99
+ * **Flow Control:** `BREAK` and `CONTINUE` keywords for loops.
100
+ * **Functions:**
101
+ * First-class citizens (can be passed as arguments and stored in variables).
102
+ * Support for named and anonymous functions.
103
+ * **Closures:** Functions capture their parent's scope.
104
+ * Recursive function calls.
105
+ * **Object-Oriented Programming:**
106
+ * `CLASS...ENDCLASS` syntax.
107
+ * `NEW` keyword for instantiation.
108
+ * `SELF` keyword for instance context.
109
+ * `INHERITS` keyword for class inheritance.
110
+ * Method overriding and polymorphism.
111
+ * **Advanced Operators:** Pre- and post-increment/decrement (`++i`, `i--`).
112
+ * **List Manipulation:** Index access (`my_list[0]`), index assignment (`my_list[0] = 10`), and concatenation (`list1 + list2`).
113
+ * **Built-ins:** `PRINT`, `INPUT`, `STR`, `INT`, `FLOAT`, and `BOOL`.
114
+ * **Error Handling:** Robust, user-friendly runtime error reporting with full tracebacks.
115

117
+
118
+ ## Getting Started
119
+
120
+ ### Running a Script
121
+
122
+ You can execute any `.glad` file by passing it as an argument to `gladlang.py`.
123
+
124
+ ```bash
125
+ python gladlang.py "test.glad"
126
+ ```
127
+
128
+ **Output:**
129
+
130
+ ```
131
+ --- OOP & Inheritance Tester ---
132
+ --- Creating a Pet ---
133
+ A new pet is born!
134
+ Sammy makes a generic pet sound.
135
+ --- Creating a Dog ---
136
+ A new pet is born!
137
+ Buddy says: Woof!
138
+ Buddy wags its tail.
139
+ ```
140
+
141
+ ### Using the Interactive Shell
142
+
143
+ Run the interpreter without any arguments to start the interactive Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) shell.
144
+
145
+ ```bash
146
+ python gladlang.py
147
+ ```
148
+
149
+ **Shell:**
150
+
151
+ ```
152
+ Welcome to GladLang (v0.1.0)
153
+ Type 'exit' or 'quit' to close the shell.
154
+ --------------------------------------------------
155
+ GladLang > PRINT "Hello, " + "World!"
156
+ Hello, World!
157
+ 0
158
+ GladLang > LET a = 10 * (2 + 3)
159
+ 0
160
+ GladLang > PRINT a
161
+ 50
162
+ 0
163
+ GladLang > exit
164
+ ```
165
+
166
+ ## Building the Executable
167
+
168
+ You can build a **standalone executable** using **PyInstaller**:
169
+
170
+ ```bash
171
+ pyinstaller run.py --paths src -F --name gladlang --icon=favicon.ico
172
+ ```
173
+
174
+ This will create a single-file executable at `dist/gladlang`.
175
+
176
+ -----
177
+
178
+ ### Adding to System PATH for Global Use
179
+
180
+ You can then add it to your system **PATH** so it can be run globally as "**gladlang**" from anywhere.
181
+
182
+ #### Windows:
183
+
184
+ 1. **Move or copy** the executable to a folder of your choice, for example:
185
+ ```bash
186
+ move dist\gladlang.exe "C:\Programs\GladLang"
187
+ ```
188
+ 2. **Add that folder to your system PATH:**
189
+ * Press **Win + R**, type `sysdm.cpl`, press **Enter**.
190
+ * Go to **Advanced** $\rightarrow$ **Environment Variables**.
191
+ * Under **System variables**, select **Path** $\rightarrow$ **Edit** $\rightarrow$ **New**.
192
+ * Add the full path (e.g., `C:\Programs\GladLang`).
193
+ 3. **Open a new terminal and test:**
194
+ ```bash
195
+ gladlang "test_recursion.glad"
196
+ ```
197
+
198
+ #### macOS / Linux:
199
+
200
+ 1. **Move** the executable to `/usr/local/bin` (or another directory in your PATH):
201
+ ```bash
202
+ sudo mv dist/gladlang /usr/local/bin/
203
+ ```
204
+ 2. **Make sure it's executable:**
205
+ ```bash
206
+ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gladlang
207
+ ```
208
+ 3. **Test it anywhere:**
209
+ ```bash
210
+ gladlang "test_recursion.glad"
211
+ ```
212
+
213
+ Now you can run GladLang from any folder without prefixing `./dist/`.
214
+
215
+ -----
216
+
217
+ ## Language Tour (Syntax Reference)
218
+
219
+ Here is a guide to the GladLang syntax, with examples from the `tests/` directory.
220
+
221
+ ### 1\. Comments
222
+
223
+ Comments start with `#` and last for the entire line.
224
+
225
+ ```glad
226
+ # This is a comment.
227
+ LET a = 10 # This is an inline comment
228
+ ```
229
+
230
+ ### 2\. Variables and Data Types
231
+
232
+ #### Variables
233
+
234
+ Variables are assigned using the `LET` keyword.
235
+
236
+ ```glad
237
+ LET a = 10
238
+ LET b = "Hello"
239
+ LET my_list = [a, b, 123]
240
+ ```
241
+
242
+ #### Numbers
243
+
244
+ Numbers can be integers or floats. All standard arithmetic operations are supported.
245
+
246
+ ```glad
247
+ LET math_result = (1 + 2) * 3 # 9
248
+ LET float_result = 10 / 4 # 2.5
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ #### Strings
252
+
253
+ Strings are defined with double quotes and support escape characters. They can be concatenated with `+`.
254
+
255
+ ```glad
256
+ LET newline = "Hello\nWorld"
257
+ LET quoted = "She said, \"This is cool!\""
258
+ PRINT "Hello, " + "GladLang"
259
+ ```
260
+
261
+ #### Lists
262
+
263
+ Lists are ordered collections of any type. They support indexing, assignment, and concatenation.
264
+
265
+ ```glad
266
+ LET my_list = [1, "hello", 2 * 3, TRUE]
267
+
268
+ PRINT my_list[1] # Access: "hello"
269
+
270
+ LET my_list[1] = "world" # Assign
271
+ PRINT my_list[1] # "world"
272
+
273
+ LET other_list = my_list + [FALSE, 100]
274
+ ```
275
+
276
+ #### Booleans
277
+
278
+ Booleans are `TRUE` and `FALSE`. They are the result of comparisons and logical operations.
279
+
280
+ ```glad
281
+ LET t = TRUE
282
+ LET f = FALSE
283
+ PRINT t AND f # 0 (False)
284
+ PRINT t OR f # 1 (True)
285
+ PRINT NOT t # 0 (False)
286
+ ```
287
+
288
+ **Truthiness:** `0`, `0.0`, `""`, `NULL`, and `FALSE` are "falsy." All other values (including non-empty strings, non-zero numbers, lists, functions, and classes) are "truthy."
289
+
290
+ #### Null
291
+
292
+ The `NULL` keyword represents a null or "nothing" value. It is falsy and prints as `0`. Functions with no `RETURN` statement implicitly return `NULL`.
293
+
294
+ -----
295
+
296
+ ### 3\. Operators
297
+
298
+ #### Arithmetic & Precedence
299
+
300
+ `^` (power), `*`, `/` (division), `+`, `-`. Standard operator precedence is respected.
301
+
302
+ ```glad
303
+ PRINT 1 + 2 * 3 # 7
304
+ PRINT (1 + 2) * 3 # 9
305
+ ```
306
+
307
+ #### Comparison & Logical
308
+
309
+ * **Comparison:** `==`, `!=`, `<`, `>`, `<=`, `>=`
310
+ * **Logical:** `AND`, `OR`, `NOT`
311
+
312
+ <!-- end list -->
313
+
314
+ ```glad
315
+ PRINT (10 < 20) AND (10 != 5) # 1 (True)
316
+ ```
317
+
318
+ #### Increment / Decrement
319
+
320
+ Supports C-style pre- and post-increment/decrement operators on variables and list elements.
321
+
322
+ ```glad
323
+ LET i = 5
324
+ PRINT i++ # 5
325
+ PRINT i # 6
326
+ PRINT ++i # 7
327
+ PRINT i # 7
328
+
329
+ LET my_list = [10, 20]
330
+ PRINT my_list[1]++ # 20
331
+ PRINT my_list[1] # 21
332
+ ```
333
+
334
+ -----
335
+
336
+ ### 4\. Control Flow
337
+
338
+ #### IF Statements
339
+
340
+ Uses `IF...THEN...ENDIF` syntax.
341
+
342
+ ```glad
343
+ LET num = -5
344
+ IF num < 0 THEN
345
+ PRINT "It is negative."
346
+ ENDIF
347
+ ```
348
+
349
+ #### WHILE Loops
350
+
351
+ Loops while a condition is `TRUE`.
352
+
353
+ ```glad
354
+ LET i = 3
355
+ WHILE i > 0
356
+ PRINT "i = " + i
357
+ LET i = i - 1
358
+ ENDWHILE
359
+
360
+ # Prints:
361
+ # i = 3
362
+ # i = 2
363
+ # i = 1
364
+ ```
365
+
366
+ #### FOR Loops
367
+
368
+ Iterates over the elements of a list.
369
+
370
+ ```glad
371
+ LET my_list = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
372
+ FOR item IN my_list
373
+ PRINT "Item: " + item
374
+ ENDFOR
375
+ ```
376
+
377
+ **`BREAK` and `CONTINUE`** are supported in both `WHILE` and `FOR` loops.
378
+
379
+ -----
380
+
381
+ ### 5\. Functions
382
+
383
+ #### Named Functions
384
+
385
+ Defined with `DEF...ENDEF`. Arguments are passed by value. `RETURN` sends a value back.
386
+
387
+ ```glad
388
+ DEF add(a, b)
389
+ RETURN a + b
390
+ ENDEF
391
+
392
+ LET sum = add(10, 5)
393
+ PRINT sum # 15
394
+ ```
395
+
396
+ #### Anonymous Functions
397
+
398
+ Functions can be defined without a name, perfect for assigning to variables.
399
+
400
+ ```glad
401
+ LET double = DEF(x)
402
+ RETURN x * 2
403
+ ENDEF
404
+
405
+ PRINT double(5) # 10
406
+ ```
407
+
408
+ #### Closures
409
+
410
+ Functions capture variables from their parent scope.
411
+
412
+ ```glad
413
+ DEF create_greeter(greeting)
414
+ DEF greeter_func(name)
415
+ # 'greeting' is "closed over" from the parent
416
+ RETURN greeting + ", " + name + "!"
417
+ ENDEF
418
+ RETURN greeter_func
419
+ ENDEF
420
+
421
+ LET say_hello = create_greeter("Hello")
422
+ PRINT say_hello("Alex") # "Hello, Alex!"
423
+ ```
424
+
425
+ #### Recursion
426
+
427
+ Functions can call themselves.
428
+
429
+ ```glad
430
+ DEF fib(n)
431
+ IF n <= 1 THEN
432
+ RETURN n
433
+ ENDIF
434
+ RETURN fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
435
+ ENDEF
436
+
437
+ PRINT fib(7) # 13
438
+ ```
439
+
440
+ -----
441
+
442
+ ### 6\. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
443
+
444
+ #### Classes and Instantiation
445
+
446
+ Use `CLASS...ENDCLASS` to define classes and `NEW` to create instances. The constructor is `init`.
447
+
448
+ ```glad
449
+ CLASS Counter
450
+ DEF init(self)
451
+ SELF.count = 0 # 'SELF' is the instance
452
+ ENDEF
453
+
454
+ DEF increment(self)
455
+ SELF.count = SELF.count + 1
456
+ ENDEF
457
+
458
+ DEF get_count(self)
459
+ RETURN SELF.count
460
+ ENDEF
461
+ ENDCLASS
462
+ ```
463
+
464
+ #### The `SELF` Keyword
465
+
466
+ `SELF` is the mandatory first argument for all methods and is used to access instance attributes and methods.
467
+
468
+ ```glad
469
+ LET c = NEW Counter()
470
+ c.increment()
471
+ PRINT c.get_count() # 1
472
+ ```
473
+
474
+ #### Inheritance
475
+
476
+ Use the `INHERITS` keyword. Methods can be overridden by the child class.
477
+
478
+ ```glad
479
+ CLASS Pet
480
+ DEF init(self, name)
481
+ SELF.name = name
482
+ ENDEF
483
+
484
+ DEF speak(self)
485
+ PRINT SELF.name + " makes a generic pet sound."
486
+ ENDEF
487
+ ENDCLASS
488
+
489
+ CLASS Dog INHERITS Pet
490
+ # Override the 'speak' method
491
+ DEF speak(self)
492
+ PRINT SELF.name + " says: Woof!"
493
+ ENDEF
494
+ ENDCLASS
495
+
496
+ LET my_dog = NEW Dog("Buddy")
497
+ my_dog.speak() # "Buddy says: Woof!"
498
+ ```

+ #### Polymorphism
501
+
502
+ When a base class method calls another method on `SELF`, it will correctly use the **child's overridden version**.
503
+
504
+ ```glad
505
+ CLASS Pet
506
+ DEF introduce(self)
507
+ PRINT "I am a pet and I say:"
508
+ SELF.speak() # This will call the child's 'speak'
509
+ ENDEF
510
+
511
+ DEF speak(self)
512
+ PRINT "(Generic pet sound)"
513
+ ENDEF
514
+ ENDCLASS
515
+
516
+ CLASS Cat INHERITS Pet
517
+ DEF speak(self)
518
+ PRINT "Meow!"
519
+ ENDEF
520
+ ENDCLASS
521
+
522
+ LET my_cat = NEW Cat("Whiskers")
523
+ my_cat.introduce()
524
+ # Prints:
525
+ # I am a pet and I say:
526
+ # Meow!
527
+ ```

542
+ ## Error Handling
543
+
544
+ GladLang features detailed error handling and prints full tracebacks for runtime errors, making debugging easy.
545
+
546
+ **Example: Name Error** (`test_name_error.glad`)
547
+
548
+ ```
549
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
550
+ File test_name_error.glad, line 6, in <program>
551
+ Runtime Error: 'b' is not defined
552
+ ```
553
+
554
+ **Example: Type Error** (`test_type_error.glad` with input "5")
555
+
556
+ ```
557
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
558
+ File test_type_error.glad, line 6, in <program>
559
+ Runtime Error: Illegal operation
560
+ ```
561
+
562
+ **Example: Argument Error** (`test_arg_error.glad`)
563
+
564
+ ```
565
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
566
+ File test_arg_error.glad, line 7, in <program>
567
+ File test_arg_error.glad, line 4, in add
568
+ Runtime Error: Incorrect argument count for 'add'. Expected 2, got 3
569
+ ```

+ The `tests/` directory contains a comprehensive suite of `.glad` files to test every feature of the language. You can run any test by executing it with the interpreter:
576
+
577
+ ```bash
578
+ python gladlang.py "test_closures.glad"
579
+ python gladlang.py "test_lists.glad"
580
+ python gladlang.py "test_polymorphism.glad"
581
+
582
+ ```
583
+
584
+ or
585
+
586
+ ```bash
587
+ gladlang "test_closures.glad"
588
+ gladlang "test_lists.glad"
589
