Depython

Python is an interpreted language, but not a toy interpreter like CFWAE. We can’t possibly translate python into working CFWAE++, could we?

import ast

code = """
def plusC(a, b):
  return a + b

plusC(2, 3)
"""

tree = ast.parse(code)

ast.dump(tree)

Evaluating this program yields

"Module(body=[FunctionDef(name='plusC',
args=arguments(args=[Name(id='a', ctx=Param()), Name(id='b',
ctx=Param())], vararg=None, kwarg=None, defaults=[]),
body=[Return(value=BinOp(left=Name(id='a', ctx=Load()), op=Add(),
right=Name(id='b', ctx=Load())))], decorator_list=[]),
Expr(value=Call(func=Name(id='plusC', ctx=Load()), args=[Num(n=2),
Num(n=3)], keywords=[], starargs=None, kwargs=None))])"

Let’s clean up the above, leaving out some of the details:

[FunctionDef(name='plusC', args=arguments(args=[Name(id='a'), Name(id='b')]), 
   body=[Return(value=BinOp(left=Name(id='a'), op=Add(), right=Name(id='b')))]), 
 Expr(value=Call(func=Name(id='plusC'), args=[Num(n=2), Num(n=3)]))]

Do now: Convert the above expression into a CFWAE++ ExprC.
