Tater

The Humble Tater

Arguably the most versatile vegetable of all time, the potato is an essential in our daily lives. In fact, extensive research¹ suggests that, as a nation, we consume something of the order of 10⁷ a day.

I yam intrigued, how does it work?

Our interpretater takes your data and puts it on our tape - sorry, potato peel - and then you can use the code to perform all sorts of operations. We'll demonstrate some for you, but we think it's best you check it out for yourself! It has simple arithmetic, relational operators, the blood, sweat and tears of potato farmers.

Is it Turing complete? I don't know, but it sure is tuber complete.

Rootnotes

¹Using PotatoPro's reliable studies, and reading some insightful analysis on the Seasoned Advice cooking stackexchange, we performed the following calculations. Mass of large potato ≈ 300g Potato consumption per person per week ≈ 400g Population of the Humble Potato Land (UK) ≈ 66000000 Potato consumption of the nation per week ≈ 400*66000000 = 26400000000g Potatoes consumed by the nation per week = 26400000000/300 = 88000000 taters Potatoes consumed by the nation per day = 88000000/7 ≈ 12571428
