Algorithm to Source code converter

[ritesh2190]

I need to write a c program which takes a algorithm as the input and gives the equivalent c source code as the output.any ideas????

[Aranarth]

The easiest way to do this is to write a program that takes a problem as the input and gives the source code of the solution... then you can use it to solve this problem.

Seriously though, what kind of algorithm? Don't say "any"!

[AuburnMathTutor]

Simple. Just have a precondition that the algorithm be specified in correct C code.

[Adak]

difficult!

Algorithms are just general guides, they have to adjusted for every specific problem. There are programs that do this, for a very limited environment, and limited algorithms, but they are a very big project.

Not something for the beginner.

Actually its enuf if ican write a program which can convert simple c algorithms to c source code like sum of two numbers
i need some help

[WaltP]

Of course you need help. Isn't that obvious?

But you need to give a very specific set of guidelines about exactly what you need. What "algorithms"?

Based on your almost description above, check each character input and create variables for num1 , num2 , and operation . Then test the operation and perform it on the two numbers.

sample input
1-get input in a and b
2-add a and b
3-display the result
4-stop

now this program should give a c program as output which takes 2 numbers as input and returns the sum as output

You want a very high level programming domain-specific programming language. Treat the problem as such and you'll be less confused as how to proceed. However, creating a language (even a simple one) can be a surprisingly difficult undertaking if you're new to that particular field. I'd suggest making your "algorithm" language look more like assembly language for simpler parsing, then work your way up to a more prose/list-like grammar.

Also i want to say that this question is related to compiler design. So i would suggest to learn compiler design/programming in general, before advancing to concrete problem.

1) First you have to take 2 variables like int a,b,s;
2) Then add a and b.
3) Then print the output.

int a,b,s;
cout<<"Enter value for a : ";
cin>>a;
cout<<"Enter value for b : ";
cin>>b;
//now add them
s=a+b;
//Now print s
cout<<s;
