VM to Symphony Language Translator

This project is a VM to Symphony Language translator developed as part of my Computer Organization and Architecture class. The goal of this project is to translate Virtual Machine (VM) code into Symphony Assembly Language, facilitating a deeper understanding of how high-level instructions are converted into low-level operations.

Project Overview

The VM to Symphony Language translator takes VM code as input and outputs the corresponding Symphony Assembly code. This translator helps bridge the gap between higher-level language constructs and the underlying hardware-specific instructions.

Files in the Project

• main.py: The main script that drives the translation process.
• assembler.py: Contains functions to parse and assemble the Symphony Assembly code.
• computer.py: Simulates the Symphony computer, useful for testing the generated assembly code.
• translator.py: The core translator that converts VM instructions to Symphony Assembly instructions.
• fact.vm: A sample VM code file used to test the translator.

How to Use

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/vm-to-symphony-translator.git
   cd vm-to-symphony-translator

2. Run the Translator

   python main.py path/to/your/vm/file.vm

3. Output The translated Symphony Assembly code will be generated and saved in the same directory as the input VM file with a .symph extension.

Example

Given a fact.vm file containing VM code for computing factorial, running the translator will produce a fact.sym file with the equivalent Symphony Assembly instructions.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Basic understanding of VM and Assembly languages

Learning Objectives

• Understand the translation process from high-level VM code to low-level Assembly instructions.
• Gain insights into the working of virtual machines and assembly language programming.
• Develop skills in Python programming and script automation.
