About this video
I explain the inner workings of a computer language interpreter that features code blocks, error messages, comments, integer and string variables, math expressions, if-else, while-break, print, input, and subroutine calls. I build on the fantastic work by Jack W. Crenshaw. The interpreter only uses low-level Python.
