Change String to an Array of Unsigned8 values #36

Closed jmeaster30 closed 10 months ago

jmeaster30 commented 1 year ago

Realized there is no need for strings specifically and we can just use Unsigned8s in an Array to get the same effect

Will now need some changes to the parser.

We don't currently support string and char variables but it would be nice to allow someone to type out a string and have it represent a u8 array. If it is a single byte then it represents a u8 instead.

Also we currently produce a string when we are pushing an identifier for indexing.

I think we should make an access instruction that has a built in identifier in it instead of relying on the index instruction. Splitting them up will probably make the code a little simpler too.

This has been complete. We got rid of strings a little bit ago
