Reading Assignment - Chapter 1 of Concepts of Programming Languages, 10th ed.
Written / Programming
1. Write, in the programming language of your choice, an interpreter for Brainfu*k. It is very
simple, on the order of a late first semester of programming assignment. Did mine in Java, about
60 lines of code. Run it with this input below - what is the output?
++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.
+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.
2. Find the approximate number of reserved / keywords in the following languages (and say
whether it is usually translated by being interpreted, compiled or is a hybrid:
Ada 2010
BASIC
Visual Basic
C (1999)
C#
C++ (2014)
COBOL (2014)
FORTRAN 77
Python
Java
Ruby
SQL
There are two separate Dropboxes, one for each written assignment. For problem 1, turn in your source
code and a screen shoot of the output and the IDE behind it (or surrounding the output). For problem 2,
turn in a Word, PDF or text file.
Mac users! Please do not submit zipped directories of your program. And do not use Apple based file
formats.
