🔧 Python Interpreter

Welcome to the Python Interpreter repository, a code that was written as part of the Magshimim Cyber Program. The interpreter is written in C++ and can interpret a subset of the Python language. The code had five steps:

1. Basic structure.
2. Types.
3. Variables.
4. Lists.
5. Variables manipulation.

I was able to finish 4 of the five steps - which means you can now create and manipulate variables including lists, call methods on lists, and print their values. The code supports deep copying of variables and nested data structures.

I was able to finish the first three steps in the span of the 4 hours we worked on the project in class and the rest in an hour at home.

Features

• Basic Structure: The interpreter has a basic structure to handle input and output.
• Types: Supports basic types such as integers, booleans, strings, and lists.
• Variables: Allows creating variables, assigning values to them, and printing their values.
• Lists: Supports creating, nesting, and manipulating lists with methods.
• Methods: Implement list methods like the append.
• Deep Copying: Variables are properly deep-copied to avoid reference issues.

Usage

To use the interpreter, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/python-interpreter.git
   cd python-interpreter

2. Open the solution in Visual Studio: Open the Python Interpreter.sln file in Visual Studio.

3. Build the project: Build the project using the Debug or Release configuration.

4. Run the interpreter: Run the project. You will see a welcome message and a prompt (>>>) where you can enter your commands.

5. Commands:

   • Create a variable: x = 5
   • Print a variable: x
   • Reassign a variable: x = 10
   • Create a list: x = [1, 2, "hello", True]
   • Append to a list: x.append(3)
   • Quit the interpreter: quit()

Example

Welcome to Magshimim Python Interpreter version 1.0 by Ofek Carpassi
>>> x = 5
>>> x
5
>>> y = "Hello"
>>> y
'Hello'
>>> z = [1, 2, 3]
>>> z
[1, 2, 3]
>>> z.append(4)
>>> z
[1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> quit()
