Integer

Let's start simple with a single integer object. The difference between a "snek integer" and a regular C integer is that the Snek integer:

Assignment

Complete the new_snek_integer function in snekobject.c. It should:

Use malloc to allocate heap memory for a new pointer to a snek_object_t.
If the allocation fails, return NULL.
Set the kind field of the new snek object to the INTEGER enum value (defined in snekobject.h).
Set the v_int field of the new snek object to the integer value passed in.
Return the pointer to the new snek object.

If you're curious how this will be used, take a look at the main.c file (where the tests are). You'll see some code that looks like this:

snek_object_t *int_object = new_snek_integer(42);
