A simple brainfuck interpreter written in Python. Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language created in 1993 by Urban Müller, and notable for its extreme minimalism. It only uses 8 simple commands and is a Turing complete langaunge. For more information, see here
Clone this repository using
git clone https://github.com/AdishMallik/BrainFuck_Interpreter.git
Navigate to the directory using
cd BrainFuck_Interpreter
Interprete your BrainFuck program using
python BrainFuck_Interpreter.py [your brainfuck file here]
Python 2.7 should be installed in your computer. The code is written for python 2.7.
BrainFuck only uses 8 commands.
| Command | Usage |
|---|---|
| * | increments the byte at the data pointer |
| - | decrements the byte at the data pointer |
| > | moves the data pointer to the next cell |
| < | moves the data pointer to the previous cell |
| [ | if the byte at the data pointer is 0, the program instead of moving forward,jumps to the command after matching ] command |
| ] | if the byte at the data pointer is not 0, the program instead of moving forward,jumps to the command after matching [ command |
| . | prints the byte at the data pointer |
| , | takes a byte of data as input and stores it value in the byte of data pointer |
The following program prints Hello World!
>+++++++++[<++++++++>-]<.>+++++++[<++++>-]<+.+++++++..+++.[-]>++++++++[<++++>-]
<.#>+++++++++++[<+++++>-]<.>++++++++[<+++>-]<.+++.------.--------.[-]>++++++++[
<++++>-]<+.[-]++++++++++.Two test programs are provided : helloworld.bf and mandelbrot.bf Time taken by the interpreter to interpret mandelbrot.bf and to create the mandelbrot set is 7294.171278 seconds (around 2.02 hours).

Although the interpreter was written by me, all the BrainFuck code was taken from here.
