Excerpt from the Tutorial sheet

"As a language, Do The Math (DTM) serves as a tool to solve math problems. Given the way expressions are formatted, DTM reinforces the order of operation rules and avoids problems that are open to interpretation in how they should be solved. This is done with the use of parentheses around all possible operations between two numbers. The language is written in the F# programming language and is built using the .NET Framework from Microsoft. Although it was written intended to take simple expressions from the command line, DTM also supports running files with an extension of ".dtm" , and has a functioning repl that can be used in the command line. The language implements the evaluation of math problems in prefix and infix notation. For more information giving a much more detailed description of the language, its syntax, and its semantics, be sure to read A Look into DTM (Do the Math), which is included in the language’s source code."

In order to use DTM:

• Clone this repository to your local machine using git clone https://github.com/japonte21/dtm-language.git
• Run the program with these commands

$ cd dtm-language
$ dotnet build
...
$ dotnet run --project lang

or

$ cd dtm-language/lang
$ dotnet build
...
$ dotnet run

This will allow you to have a copy of the project on your local machine available to run when desired.

Ensure that you have a version of F# and .NET compatible with your local machine. F# is needed to make any desired edits to the source code and .NET is used to build and run the language. To check this, run the command dotnet --version and fsharpi in terminal. If you don't have either of the programs, download the latest version compatible with your machine on the .NET website and the F# website .
