So we are to create a compiler for our own programming language. We now have a scanner, and parser.
Now, I don't know where to start for the interpreter. Can anyone here help me give me some head start. I'm google it but can't find any specifics.
Thank you,

Have you gone through the dragon book?
Let's Build a Compiler looks like an interesting non technical read but it's a bit dated though.
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted
- Albert Einstein.
No programming language is perfect. There is not even a single best language; there are only languages well suited or perhaps poorly suited for particular purposes.
- Herbert Mayer
I can't find anyway on how to interpret a code after the parser successfully check the grammar. The sample on the book is so simple. Mine has a code like C. or maybe I miss anything?
Ex:
int i = 2*3;
int j = i*2;
so how the hell I'll tell my interpreter those? and updating my symbol table manager.
The tokens has this
int <- datatype
i <- identifier
= <- assignment
2 <- numeric
* <- multiply
3 <- numeric
;
int <- dataype
j <- identifier
= <- assignment
i <- identifier
* <- multiply
2 <- numeric
;
Thank you,

Well you could try reading part2 of the tutorial that was posted a week ago.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
