Abstract:

This paper reports the development experiences and features of FULangS, a quasi, general-purpose scripting paradigm developed at the Federal University Lokoja, Nigeria as part of the requirements for a capstone course in Survey and Organization of Programming Languages during the 2016/2017 Academic Session. FULangS was written in C programming language, with the Flex/lex environment for lexical analysis, Bison/yacc for semantic analysis and Cygwin, to build and compile the flex/lex and yacc/bison files. The language is compiled for the Microsoft Windows environment, and in addition to being functional, FULangS is also an imperative computer scripting paradigm, possessing the ability to describe a sequence of steps that change the state of the computer. FULangS scripts interprets to a virtual machine and offers special feature support for stack machines and garbage collection.
