Introduction to compiler building with a minimalist compiler in PowerShell for PowerShell.

A "learning" compiler for simple PowerShell to assembler

Compiler: Translates one programming language into another Consists of: Scanner - converts source code into symbols Parser - processes symbols from Scanner and checks syntax Code generator: Generates code in the new language

Mixing assembler and PowerShell Understandable mediation, how such a compiler works Showing that in the end everything is assembler and what runs under the hood Building your own compiler (larger project) And.... Because I can

#Fibonacci numbers formula The Fibonacci sequence is the infinite sequence of natural numbers that (originally) begins with the number 1 twice. Subsequently, the sum of two consecutive numbers results in the number immediately following: 1,1,2,3,5,8,18

$I = 1
$J = 0
$K = 10
   While ($K) {
        Write-Host "fibu " $I
        $I = $i + $J
        $J = $I - $J
        $K = $K - 1
