English Programming Language

Welcome to the English Programming Language project! This project aims to create a simple, easy-to-understand programming language designed to be as close to natural English as possible. The goal is to make programming accessible to everyone, including children and beginners.

Features

• Natural Language Syntax: Commands are written in a way that resembles natural English sentences.
• Modular Design: Easily extend the language by adding new command modules.
• Interactive CLI: A simple command-line interface to enter and execute commands.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can download it from python.org.

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/english-programming-language.git
cd english-programming-language

Install the necessary dependencies (if any):

pip install -r requirements.txt
Running the CLI

Start the interactive command-line interface:

python cli.py

Example Commands

• Set a variable: set x to 10
• Show a message: show x
• Multiply a variable: multiply x by 5
• Set another variable: set y to 20
• Multiply a variable by another variable: multiply y by x

Adding New Commands

To add a new command:

1. Create a new file in the commands directory, e.g., new_command.py.
2. Define your command class in this file, inheriting from BaseCommand.
3. Update commands/init.py to include your new command class.

Project Structure

• cli.py: The entry point for the interactive command-line interface.
• main.py: Handles command registry and dynamic loading of commands.
• commands/: Contains individual command modules.
• lexer.py: Tokenizes the input commands.
• parser.py: Parses the tokens into executable commands.
• interpreter.py: Executes the parsed commands.
