bf-interpreter's Introduction

A Brain F*** interpreter 🧠 written in c++

What is Brain F*** ?

Brain F*** is an esoteric (or 'joke') programming language
which just means it was designed to be a joke among programming nerds

for further details about the language have a look at This Wikipedia Page

Why do i care about this language?

This language is really challenging and exciting to code in.
You would get a great excitement while developing some new techinques 
and its good to test and practice your algorithm and problem solving skills.

although brain f*** is not used in real world programming . imo its good for even beginners to start thinking logically. and it helps to learn a lots of tactics for intermediates.

About This Interpreter

This interpreter is a little playground for 
working with brain f*** . It has a nice interactive mode 
which has some nice features 
(new ideas are always welcomed)
