If you 18 just want to build the binary, you can use `stack build`. 19 20 ## Usage 21 22 From bash, simply pipe Nock expressions into the `hnock` executable: 23 24 ``` 25 $ echo '*[[[4 5] [6 14 15]] [0 7]]' | hnock 26 [14 15] 27 ``` 28 29 For playing around in GHCi, import the `Nock` library and use `hnock` to parse 30 and evaluate Nock expressions: 31 32 ``` 33 *Nock> hnock "*[[[4 5] [6 14 15]] [0 7]]" 34 [14 15] 35 ``` 36 37 To evaluate raw nock Nouns, i.e. to compute `nock(a)` for some noun `a`, use 38 the `nock` function: 39 40 ``` 41 *Nock> let expression = hnock "[[[4 5] [6 14 15]] [0 7]]" 42 *Nock> expression 43 [[[4 5] [6 [14 15]]] [0 7]] 44 *Nock> nock expression 45 [14 15] 46 ``` 47 48 ## Testing 49 50 Use a simple `stack test` to run the test suite. 51 52 ## See Also 53 54 * [A Nock Interpreter][anin] 55 56 [nock]: https://urbit.org/docs/learn/arvo/nock/definition/ 57 [anin]: https://jtobin.io/nock 58
