BrainCaml is a work-in-progress program designed to practice functional programming concepts in OCaml. It serves as an interpreter for the Brainfuck esolang, allowing users to write and execute Brainfuck programs within the OCaml environment.
BrainCaml provides an opportunity to dive into functional programming principles such as immutability, pattern matching, recursion, and higher order functions. By implementing a Brainfuck interpreter, I aim to gain hands-on experience in applying these concepts to solve real-world problems.
- Interprets Brainfuck programs written in a concise, minimalistic syntax.
- Supports all standard Brainfuck commands:
>,<,+,-,.,,,[, and]. - Utilizes functional programming techniques to ensure clean, modular, and efficient code.
- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Compile the OCaml source files using
ocamlopt. - Run the compiled executable, passing the path to a Brainfuck program file as an argument.
$ ocamlopt -o braincaml braincaml.ml
$ ./braincaml example.bf
