Print as ASCII char

Let's now add another print function, named A, that prints ASCII char based on code instead of integer value.

  • Print ASCII (code 65)

Note that, like P, this operator will not consume the first stacked value : it will print it but value remains unchanged

Let's start

  • Memory: empty
  • Cursor: first cell
  • Input: space separated integers and operators

Process

  • Leave an empty space (current number on stack is null)
  • While there is a char to read
    • subtract 32 and set else flag
    • if char is null : it's space
      • reset else flag, move to the right
    • subtract 5 (total 37), if char is null : it's modulus
      • reset else flag, compute A mod B
    • subtract 5 (total 42), if char is null : it's multiply
      • reset else flag, multiply the 2 operands
    • subtract 1 (total 43), if char is null : it's addition
      • reset else flag, sum the 2 operands
    • subtract 2 (total 45), if char is null : it's subtraction
      • reset else flag, subtract the 2 operands
    • subtract 2 (total 47), if char is null : it's division
      • reset else flag, divide the 2 operands
    • subtract 18 (total 65), if char is null : it's ASCII print
      • reset else flag, print first operand as char
    • subtract 2 (total 67), if char is null : it's copy
      • reset else flag, copy first operand
    • subtract 1 (total 68), if char is null : it's drop
      • reset else flag, drop first operand
    • subtract 12 (total 80), if char is null : it's print
      • reset else flag, print first operand
    • subtract 2 (total 82), if char is null : it's rot
      • reset else flag, rotate stack's head
    • subtract 1 (total 83), if char is null : it's swap
      • reset else flag, swap first 2 operands
    • otherwise
      • add 35 (to get the digit value)
      • add current number 10 times to current digit to get new current number
  • loop

Code

>,[                     leave empty space and read char
  let's track our target values here
  space 32
  modulus 37
  multiply 42
  add 43
  subtract 45
  divide 47
  ascii print 65
  copy 67
  drop 68
  print 80
  rot 82
  swap 83
  digit 48 to 57

Final state

  • Memory: stack of integers
  • Cursor: after stack
  • Input: empty (read)
  • Output: unchanged

Test program

The program can be tested on its own.

You can try with input 123 P C 32 A 47 A D A 5 P S A 61 A D A D C R / P D 37 A D % P This will print 123 / 5 = 24%3 (with some extra line breaks...)
