+# Forth
+
+Implement an evaluator for a very simple subset of Forth.
+
+[Forth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_%28programming_language%29)
+is a stack-based programming language. Implement a very basic evaluator
+for a small subset of Forth.
+
+Your evaluator has to support the following words:
+
+- `+`, `-`, `*`, `/` (integer arithmetic)
+- `DUP`, `DROP`, `SWAP`, `OVER` (stack manipulation)
+
+Your evaluator also has to support defining new words using the
+customary syntax: `: word-name definition ;`.
+
+To keep things simple the only data type you need to support is signed
+integers of at least 16 bits size.
+
+You should use the following rules for the syntax: a number is a
+sequence of one or more (ASCII) digits, a word is a sequence of one or
+more letters, digits, symbols or punctuation that is not a number.
+(Forth probably uses slightly different rules, but this is close
+enough.)
+
+Words are case-insensitive.
+
+## Hints
+- To parse the text, you could try to use the [Sprache](https://github.com/sprache/Sprache/blob/develop/README.md) library. You can also find a good tutorial [here](https://www.thomaslevesque.com/2017/02/23/easy-text-parsing-in-c-with-sprache/).
+
+
+### Submitting Exercises
+
+Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the `exercism/python/<exerciseName>` directory.
+
+For example, if you're submitting `bob.py` for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like `exercism submit <path_to_exercism_dir>/python/bob/bob.py`.
+
+
+For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting,
+please see the [help page](http://exercism.io/languages/python).
+
+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
