arith.cl |
Tests various aspects of arithmetic in Cool. |
atoi.cl |
An implementation of the C function by the same name. It converts a String into an Int. |

The credits of writing these example programs go to the Stanford teaching comittee and Professor Alex Aiken who shared these programs for educational purposes via the Compilers Theory Coursera course.
