What Is This?
This is an interpreter for the OCR exam reference language (OCR ERL).
OCR ERL is similar to pseudocode - an idealised programming language used in the latest OCR Computer Science exam syllabus. You can use this site to test out your OCR ERL programs and see how they would actually run.
OCR ERL is designed by and owned by OCR and forms part of their J277 Computer Science specification.
