Brainrot is a meme-inspired programming language that translates common programming keywords into internet slang and meme references. It's built using Flex (lexical analyzer) and Bison (parser generator), making it a fun way to learn about language processing and compiler design.

Brainrot is a C-like programming language where traditional keywords are replaced with popular internet slang. For example:

• void → skibidi
• int → rizz
• for → flex
• return → bussin

To build and run the Brainrot compiler, you'll need:

• GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)
• Flex (Fast Lexical Analyzer)
• Bison (Parser Generator)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc flex bison libfl-dev

sudo pacman -S gcc flex bison

brew install gcc flex bison

Some macOS users are experiencing an error related to libfl. First, check if libfl is installed at:

/opt/homebrew/lib/libfl.dylib  # For Apple Silicon
/usr/local/lib/libfl.dylib  # For Intel Macs

And if not, you have to find it and symlink to it. Find it using:

find /opt/homebrew -name "libfl.*"  # For Apple Silicon
find /usr/local -name "libfl.*"  # For Intel Macs

And link it with:

sudo ln -s /path/to/libfl.dylib /opt/homebrew/lib/libfl.dylib  # For Apple Silicon
sudo ln -s /path/to/libfl.dylib /usr/local/lib/libfl.dylib  # For Intel Macs

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Brainrotlang/brainrot.git
cd brainrot

2. Generate the parser and lexer:

bison -d -Wcounterexamples lang.y -o lang.tab.c
flex -o lang.lex.c lang.l

3. Compile the compiler:

gcc -o brainrot lang.tab.c lex.yy.c ast.c -lfl

Alternatively, simply run:

make

1. Create a Brainrot source file (e.g., hello.brainrot):

skibidi main {
    yapping("Hello, World!");
    bussin 0;
}

2. Run your Brainrot program:

./brainrot < hello.brainrot

• yapping(string): equivalent to puts(const char *str)
• baka(string): equivalent to fprintf(stderr, const char *format, ...)

The language supports basic arithmetic operators:

• + Addition
• - Subtraction
• * Multiplication
• / Division
• = Assignment
• < Less than
• > Greater than
• && Logical AND
• || Logical OR

Current limitations include:

• No support for increment/decrement operators (++/--)
• Limited support for complex expressions
• No support for functions other than main
• Basic error reporting

Brainrot has a Visual Studio Code extension to enhance your development experience with syntax highlighting and support for the Brainrot programming language. You can find it here:
