About

An interpreter written in Ruby for the imperative, stack based language called Whitespace.

Installation

Install it yourself using:

$ gem install whitespace-ruby

You would now have access to an executable called whitespace. Type

$ whitespace --help

to learn more.

Usage

Let's say you've written a Whitespace program and stored it in the file program.ws. Then, to execute that program, type:

$ whitespace program.ws

This gem comes with example Whitespace programs that you can check out at examples. Be sure to run them to see what they do.

For example, here's the factorial program and a sample execution (assuming you're in the examples directory):

$ whitespace fact.ws
Enter a number: 40
40! = 20397882081197443358640281739902897356800000000
