Universal Code Runner

This Bash script (run) allows you to run a variety of programming languages using a single command. It identifies the programming language based on the file extension and executes the code accordingly. It supports 65 different programming languages, making it a versatile tool for developers working with multiple languages.

Features

• Automatically detects the programming language based on the file extension.
• Supports both compiled and interpreted languages.
• Simple to use with a single command.
• Runs the output binary or script in the same terminal.

The following programming languages and file extensions are supported:

1. C++ (.cpp)
2. C (.c)
3. Python (.py)
4. Java (.java)
5. JavaScript (.js)
6. TypeScript (.ts)
7. PHP (.php)
8. Go (.go)

Prerequisites

Before using the script, ensure the required compilers/interpreters for the languages you want to run are installed. For example:

• g++ for C++
• gcc for C
• python3 for Python
• node for JavaScript
• And so on...

You can install them via your system’s package manager like apt, brew, or yum depending on your OS.

Installation

1. Download the run script.
2. Move it to a directory in your PATH so you can execute it globally:

   mv run /usr/local/bin/
   chmod +x /usr/local/bin/run

3. Ensure that /usr/local/bin/ is part of your system’s PATH.

Error Handling

If an error occurs during compilation or execution, the script will print an error message indicating the problem.

Output

For compiled languages (like C, C++, Rust, etc.), the output binary will be named after the input file (without the extension). For example, hello.cpp will produce an output file named hello, which the script will execute automatically.

Usage and Example

1. Run a C++ program:

   echo "run program.cpp"
   

This will compile and run program.cpp, and the output file will be named program

2. Run a Python script:

   echo "run script.py" 
   
   

Extending the Script

If you need to add support for additional languages, modify the case block in the script by adding new file extensions and the corresponding commands to run those programs.
