This was the challenge for week two of Space Cadets and is an interpreter for a simple language known as "Bare Bones."

Bare Bones is the simple language that Brookshear uses in his book, 'Computer Science: an Overview', to illustrate the power of Turing complete machines and investigate the halting problem.

Bare Bones has three simple commands for manipulating a variable:

clear name;
incr name;
decr name;

...which respectively sets variable name to zero, increments it by one and decrements it by one.

The language also contains one control sequence, a simple loop:

while name not 0 do;
...
...
end;

... where name is a variable. Statements are delimited by the ; character.

Note that while loops must be terminated by an end statement, but that they can be nested.
