Code example

Make the Deadfish Swim

Create a parser to interpret and execute the Deadfish language. Deadfish operates on a single value in memory, which is initially set to 0. It uses four single-character commands:

• i: Increment the value
• d: Decrement the value
• s: Square the value
• o: Output the value to a result array

All other instructions are no-ops and have no effect.

Solution

    function parse(data) {
      let value = 0
      const result = []

      for (char of data.slice()) {
        switch (char) {
          case "i": value++; break;
          case "d": value--; break;
          case "s": value *= value; break;
          case "o": result.push(value); break;
          default: break;
        }
      }
      return result
    }
