[lwgray]

Issue Type

🎯 Enhancement

Current Behavior

The current ThinkPy interpreter:

• Has limited output formatting options
• Shows all loop iterations which can be overwhelming
• Has a bug in elif condition evaluation
• Lacks proper indentation for nested structures
• Doesn't provide beginner-friendly output formatting

Proposed Solution

Enhance the interpreter with:

1. Multiple output formatting styles
2. Configurable iteration display limits
3. Fix for elif condition evaluation
4. Proper indentation support
5. Educational mode with emoji indicators

Expected Benefits

• Better readability of program execution
• More beginner-friendly output in educational settings
• More flexible output formatting options
• Better handling of large iterations
• Clearer visualization of program flow

Technical Details

New Features

• Output styles:
  • default: [CATEGORY] message
  • minimal: category: message
  • detailed: with separators
  • color: ANSI-colored output
  • markdown: Markdown-style headers
  • educational: Emoji-based indicators

Breaking Changes

• Constructor signature change:

  ThinkPyInterpreter(
  explain_mode=False,
  format_style="default",
  max_iterations_shown=5
  )

Additional Context
