How to initialize variable assignment in a non-OOP interpreter?
I'm still in the process of making [MarkFuncs](https://github.com/JoyrenceMatthewAgas/MarkFuncs) and having given up from copy-pasting open-source interpreters, them using OOP too, I decided to make one without OOP and with scratch alongside with the help of [**@Moshi**](https://software.codidact.com/users/53196) in the Discord server.
`test4` is where I'm currently at right now. [`interpreter.py`](https://tio.run/##vVbBbuM2ED1bXzGrRSEpcdx1ekuaU1G0BYpc2ls2DWhpbBOVSS1JxQ4MX3vosUB/cH8kHVIiJSuWsUWB@mKK8zjzOHwzZPVi1lJ88/q6VHIDTBvgm0oqA0ytIjfHha4wD/OarwQztcIoKnAJC2lMifpJLp8WiCoV9Sa7iSZLqYDTUlBMrNDOTuHDFK7m1jjhSzLe3cHcftgvsnffk0pxYdJlPG@9g6Q45BykALNG2LKynMHQOvsofkaiaegLjCSixhKokOU4gz2FOJzzF2c2NpYa/yOJH6SNbiHaSIXARAGL@gW03CBsaOaYjB5ng6VP1LXj5Cnt@fnFcAJAxH5lvxNPgVDIrXC0Kqa1TRhTshaFXQdXMD@bpo@ipdbm6X/mpMdJOTlqo54UViXPGSU/pc8p9CSZr5XVBE1b8g13pKB3znLhoI2jnJV5XTKDKX6qmeFSWB9knxM4jt3wuh3Kigb3tItoQqcFH6KJfhGG7Wj8kHz@8@/kMZps15wy6n098McZ1wVfcZNmQMR6BnveySyxBF24y7u@9ZYEQTPzaPIeGv4WlNnIzTRJZujsMrkBxzFmRUF8na6GoKsA0vViDHQRQJu6HAN9HUAFfx4DfdV5kqOcfgsg3FVjIJtgD9tJ5WAkTuo8XCN8v8uxsnDS6E/imZW8gPZ0Pv/xF3y3ZorlhvS07/k9AEkPl1xgYdX@vhWKF0IULWuR26GmoPtoEjfijG@G7XBKNitHshwrMzpEUUza@RHLioJvkLpwESmkxkpOrW65WJF0cUt6LXCXObQV5grNL86a5rLAKXCrS6oZVMbN@LTESU8U5K/VaqNDD3zngFZqFkHY1mB7tNdT@99wA1dRPPJU7uvNOI9O4pmrlyMKJ0Ct5Hs8OrW34VvBZ4FDpeRKsYaEddAWYBODw7dQoghGWxz9HJECEn8FNfOXc5@95hZw4a/dsMsh/cbSOBlmsttBaJYEyDrn8@ba6TPoUnIzwE28Bs8xufVMAniEzoke94aXvw6/qJr2bZQDcA1CUhOHZ6Y4W1BthAutO3dWVmvWbtJWlGB0Q/qNvd1X2u4rQE9vqxvRE8YW6MNj5y/tO8wSn@AlDGunTSG5mNor@ETZNedR9tYOpDxY3i@Vdq1P7pnskod6g8IM8pszkbiHDhMB0rxg3K5nrKroXktpnJ3c4TTssC@ujtCJhpIl2XF6yWfogw/@UB67M6Jtn7A7M5UwNcNPT@0J2RoN78rUQrNZRY2Z2iIq3e3gaNm7Zp0dh3y/zeM9qRCFrFfrkCfd5NIzOgC5rLmit8W@H4CeHLWhZ0b5AvsQ6ABbpDfdij@jiN8co3WZXjjgl1aPz9CQUyGxKSHccW2Ptv/o@rdXW5BN/1qLbOa5qGrS623oozp7fbXXVBrT1VTKeHqd/QM) currently has an output syntax for strings, and 2 functions that solve a challenge each in Code Golf CD. Right now, I want to do some math, in other words, deal with integers. The first problem to encounter, however is variable assignment.
I still have no idea how to get a specific keyword stored into the program and its value, then be reused and/or outputted. Here's what I have in mind for the syntax to be like:
```python
x=9;y=10;→x+y; # Full program
x=9 # Assign 9 in variable named x
; # Semicolon to terminate the assigning process
y=10 # Assign 10 in variable named y
; # Semicolon to terminate the assigning process
→x+y # Output the sum of x and y (uses the in-progress calculate() function)
; # Semicolon to terminate the outputting process
```
<sup>This will be put in the Input section of the TIO link.</sup>
Since I'm not using OOP--and I want to keep it that way--, it'll be tricky to even make variable assigning possible, and that's why I need help here.
**Question**: How to make variable assigning possible in my Python-written interpreter?
