codeRunner: run code as an interpreted language such as python...

codeRunner can save your trouble to write/compile the c program on your own. Simply type the code line by line and codeRunner will execute it for you. It is good for education/testing use. At present, codeRunner only support the C language. However, codeRunner is designed not only for the C language. In the future, other languages will be supported.

A quick guide

1. enter c code and codeRunner will compile and run your code

       codeRunner:#1> int a = 100;
   

   whenever this line of code has output, it will print on the screen

       codeRunner:#2> printf("%d\n",a++);
       100
   

   after that you can enter another line of c code

       codeRunner:#3> printf("%d\n",a);
       a=101
   

2. if your code failed to compile, such as

       codeRunner:#2> printf("%d\n",b) // b is not declared
       error info output by the compiler: b is not declared
   

   you can enter again your code

       codeRunner:#2> printf("%d\n",a);
       101
   

Examples

one line code

error hint

Use your own template

The default template provided by codeRunner is rather simple, and it may missing some headers. So you can use --template=template.c to specify template.c as your code template.

/* c code template for codeRunner */
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{
        $$yourCode$$
        return 0;
}

will be replaced by your code typed by codeRunner. Make sure it is in a single line.

INSTALL

requirements

1. you should have gcc installed to compile the source code.

sudo apt install gcc

2. you should have libreadline installed to do auto-complete

sudo apt install libreadline6-dev

compile from source

1. execute make to generate the program codeRunner if you donot have readline installed use make no-readline instead

2. execute make install and codeRunner will be installed under /usr/local/bin/ by default.

TODO

[x] use libreadline to make input more convienent [ ] user can choose a custom compiler [x] user can choose a custom code template [ ] support other languages such as c++ [ ] support functions
