# 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. ## Setup Go through the setup instructions for JavaScript to install the necessary dependencies: http://exercism.io/languages/javascript/installation ## Running the test suite The provided test suite uses [Jasmine](https://jasmine.github.io/). You can install it by opening a terminal window and running the following command: ```sh npm install -g jasmine ``` Run the test suite from the exercise directory with: ```sh jasmine forth.spec.js ``` In many test suites all but the first test have been marked "pending". Once you get a test passing, activate the next one by changing `xit` to `it`. ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
