Well as it is said in the introduction of this mission. Many times you will have to decypher something unusual and this is excelent excercise to make yourself acquinted with stuff.
Often times you will need to decipher a language which you can not find on google, or is encrypted in some way
I have made up a language for you to decipher. What is the output of this program?
Obscure source code we have to figure out is:
BEGIN notr.eal CREATE int AS 2 DESTROY int AS 0 ANS var AS Create + TO out TO
However you have to notice that it is not similar to any language you might know. Let’s anlyise it line by line of course the way I figure it out.
BEGIN notr.eal represents beginning of the function
CREATE int AS 2 as far as I see it is adding 2 to the variable int
DESTROY int AS 0 is adding 0 to the variable int
ANS var AS Create + TO reading the last value from the stack and that is 20 and passing it inverse to the variable TO which has now value 02
out TO is outputting 02 out.
