This is considerably simpler than
BASIC , because there is no order of precedence, and only five possible terms:
- integer constant
- variable A-Z
- a random number - ! (e.g. !*2)
- quoted character value (‘a’)
- memory access (4,1) (which reads $0401).
Plus, they are all one byte which
means I can return them easily in E rather than use the stack.
The code is actually just the expression and the test code,
which is python generated expressions which are then run and compared with the
calculated answer – this kind of thing for example
(4,(2,(((7,'O'),Z),70)))-6-90+D-4/50+D
which is, incidentally, 23
(on the current version of the monitor, which is used for memory reads).
Obviously I don't use random numbers in a unit test but this is the Galoisian LFSR again, which is quite a decent random number generator.
