Mini Python Compiler Capable of Printing: Strings and Arithmetic Operations

Mini Python Compiler

A Simple Python Compiler that is capable of printing strings and printing basic arithmetic operations.

About The Project

A mini compiler demonstrating the use of data types utilizing Flex and Bison. In the case of Python, the print statement is able to take in multiple data types such as integers and string. The developer in Python would simply call print(<value>), however inside the compiler it requires complex design to determine the value type then it can print to the console.

Getting Started

Installing and configuring Flex and Bison using Docker.

Prerequisites

Have Docker pre-installed into your operating system.

• Using CLI Command for Ubuntu

  sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
  

Installation

Below is an example of how you download this project and start using Docker.

1. Clone the repo

   git clone <repo_url>
   

2. Go into the Project Repository

   cd /path/to/repository
   

3. Build Image

   sudo docker build -t compiler-image .
   

4. Run Container

   sudo docker run -it compiler-image
   

5. Run Test inside Container

   $ make
   $ ./compiler <source_file>
   

Usage

Using the pre-defined Python file to test arithmetic operations and printing of strings.

$ make
$ ./compiler __test__/arithmetic.py

Remove all generated files.

make clean
