A Gen Z developer created a programming language using only emojis because Unicode is more expressive than ASCII and way more aesthetic. They went viral on TikTok with coding tutorials, claiming traditional syntax is outdated boomer energy that kills the coding vibe. Execute programs written entirely in emoji where each symbol represents a programming operation. The interpreter must handle emoji sequences as valid programming constructs while maintaining computational logic and not crashing when someone tries to implement machine learning using only fruit emojis. Your task: Interpret emoji code written by a developer who thinks semicolons are violence against artistic expression and variables should manifest their energy rather than declare their type.
Why You're Doing This
This tests tokenization, parsing, and interpreter design for non-traditional syntax systems. You're building a system that treats visual symbols as programming constructs—similar to how modern languages handle Unicode identifiers or how domain-specific languages create custom operators for specific problem domains.
Take the W
✓ Parses emoji sequences into programming operations
✓ Executes operations following emoji programming syntax
✓ Returns meaningful results from emoji programs
Hard L
✗ Ignores emoji meanings and treats as random symbols
✗ Fails to handle Unicode emoji properly
✗ Produces nonsensical operation sequences
Edge Cases
⚠ Invalid emoji combinations that don't form valid operations
