Pragmatic Programmer

In this repository I want to share my solutions to the exercises provided by the book "Pragmatic Programmer" by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas.

Exercise 13

Goal of exercise 13 is to write a code generator that creates a source file in a specific programming language for message defined by a given schema. The exercise defines the schema as follows:

A line that starts with:

• a # is followed by a comment
• an M is followed by the name of the message
• an F is followed by the name and the type of field in that message
• an E defines the end of the message.

Since there were no further information and in the example the types in the schema matched those in the resulting C code, I assumed that the types of the fields in the scheme correspond to C types. So I mapped them 1:1. Since the Pascal types in the example are somewhat different, I mapped those types accordingly. Since I am neither a Pascal nor a C programmer, I only added those types that appear in the example. See org.example.CodeGeneratorTest for examples how to use my code.
