Question 6expertSheet 1750822302

Deep Breath

A philosophy major turned developer created a programming language based on Sanskrit because ancient wisdom should guide modern logic. The system interprets Devanagari characters as computational commands, treating each Unicode glyph as a sacred operation. Variables are named after chakras, functions follow Vedic mathematical principles, and error messages quote the Bhagavad Gita. They're now a yoga instructor claiming namaste is more debugging than console.log ever was. Your task: Build an interpreter that executes Sanskrit-based programming commands while respecting both computational logic and ancient linguistic rules.

Why You're Doing This

This tests Unicode handling, symbol-to-operation mapping, cultural sensitivity in internationalization, and building interpreters for non-Latin scripts. You're essentially creating a compiler for someone who thinks chakras are data structures and mantras are function calls. The challenge is parsing ancient language constructs into modern computational operations without losing your sanity or cultural respect.

Take the W

✓ Correctly parses Devanagari Unicode characters
✓ Maps Sanskrit terms to programming operations
✓ Executes basic mathematical computations
✓ Handles cultural context appropriately

Hard L

✗ Crashes on Unicode characters
✗ Treats Sanskrit as ASCII gibberish
✗ Returns spiritual enlightenment instead of numbers
✗ Culturally insensitive handling of sacred language

Edge Cases

⚠ Commands mixing Sanskrit and English (cultural confusion)
⚠ Invalid Sanskrit grammar (offends ancient grammarians)
⚠ Numbers beyond traditional Sanskrit counting
⚠ Operations requiring concepts unknown to ancient India
⚠ Stack overflow in language that predates call stacks

Input Format:

sanskrit_command_string with unicode_encoding and operation_mappings

Expected Output:

execution_result with cultural_sensitivity_flags

Example:

{command: गणना एक धन द्वि, encoding: UTF-8, context: vedic} → {result: 3, cultural_respect: true, parsing_success: true}

Input Format:

devanagari_string, operation_map, evaluation_context

Expected Output:

numerical_result, parsing_success_probability

Example:

string=गणना एक धन द्वि, ops={गणना:calc, धन:add}, context=vedic → result=3, success=0.95

Hints

💡 Numbers: एक=1, द्वि=2, त्रि=3, चतुर=4, पञ्च=5
💡 Operations: गणना=calculate, धन=add, न्यून=subtract, गुणन=multiply
💡 Sanskrit reads left-to-right (unlike your career prospects)
