Automatic code generator with Prolog

The project consists on a GUI that lets a user generate code in the C++ or Python syntaxis from simple instructions.

Technologies used

The GUI was built using tkinter, a Python library. Logic was made using Prolog, a file for each programming language. Connection between logic and GUI was made with Python's subprocess.

How to use

To use:

• Run the main.py file.
• Select a language from the dropdown list.
• Enter a valid instruction from the following.
• Click the "generate code" button.

Valid instructions:

• assign: assign(variable, value)

• assign arithmetic: assign(variable(operation(value1, value2))

  • valid operations:
    • add: addition
    • sub: subtraction
    • mul: multiplication
    • div: division
    • lt: less than
    • gt: grater than

• if: if(condition(variable, value), [condition true case], [condition false case])

• while: while(condition(variable, value), [logic inside the while])

• loop: loop(variable, smaller value, greater value, [logic inside the for])

• function: function(name, [input], [logic inside the function])

• various of this instructions nested in a single line are valid too

Contents
