Quick implementation of a Brainfuck interpreter in Haskell.

Pairs of lists are used to implement both the two-side infinite band of cells, and the program storage. This means that it can also work on infinite Brainfuck programs (which could be generated lazily).

In functional style, run interprets a Brainfuck program as a function from an Integer list (inputs) to an Integer list (outputs). This can be easily turned into a real dialog with a user via stdin and stdout.

A more efficient implementation could for example only admit well-bracketed brainfuck programs, and parse bracket blocks first, to replace the matchLeft and matchRight which need linear time.

<lang haskell>module BF where

moveLeft (x:l,r) = (l,x:r) moveRight (l,x:r) = (x:l,r)

matchLeft d@('[':_,_) = d matchLeft d@(']':_,_) = matchLeft $ moveLeft $ matchLeft $ moveLeft $ d matchLeft d = matchLeft $ moveLeft $ d

matchRight d@(_,']':_) = moveRight $ d matchRight d@(_,'[':_) = matchRight $ matchRight $ moveRight $ d matchRight d = matchRight $ moveRight $ d

pad ([],[]) = ([0],[0]) pad ([],r) = ([0],r) pad (l,[]) = (l,[0]) pad d = d

modify f (l,x:r) = (l,(f x):r)
