build an interpreter for a simple language

Hi all,

I need help and source code in a school project
the project is in c - building an interpreter for a simple (invented) language

how do I implement: routines, variables and numbers...
routines can also call other routines (recursion is allowed)
do I need to build a symbol Table? what else?

where can I found source code for that kind of project?
I understand it is usually given to students...
Thanks, Eyal

You really should have shown up to class. Sucker.

If you're totally lost go buy the Dragon book and read it.

What, were the responses you got to the exact same question you posted in
article <1f**************************@posting.google.com > not good enough
for you?

Use flex and bison (or lex and yacc).
