write some python bytecode, some x86 assembler, and some arm
assembler, all that do similar things, then decompile them to
equivalent applebasic

While it's an interesting challenge to create similar assembly and
bytecode snippets in different languages, directly translating
bytecode and assembly code to a high-level language like AppleBASIC
can be challenging and non-trivial due to the fundamental differences
in how high-level and low-level languages operate. That said, I can
provide examples of Python bytecode, x86 assembly, and ARM assembly
that perform similar tasks.

### Example Task: Add Two Numbers

#### 1. Python Bytecode
Let's assume we have the following Python code that adds two numbers:
```python
def add_two_numbers(a, b):
    return a + b
```
Python bytecode can be produced using the `dis` (disassembler) module
in Python. However, providing direct bytecode here might be
non-illustrative, but it generally looks like:
```
LOAD_FAST
LOAD_FAST
BINARY_ADD
RETURN_VALUE
```

#### 2. x86 Assembly
```assembly
section .data

section .text
global _start

_start:
    ; add 5 and 3
    mov eax, 5  ; Move 5 into eax register
    add eax, 3  ; Add 3 to eax register
    ; now eax contains 8
```

#### 3. ARM Assembly
```assembly
.global _start
.section .text

_start:
    MOV R0, #5    ; Load 5 into register R0
    ADD R0, R0, #3 ; Add 3 to register R0
    ; now R0 contains 8
```

### AppleBASIC
AppleBASIC doesn't have a direct equivalent to low-level operations
performed by bytecode or assembly languages. However, if we abstract
away the low-level specifics and focus on the task at hand (adding two
numbers), it might look something like:

```basic
10 INPUT "Enter a number: ", A
20 INPUT "Enter another number: ", B
30 LET C = A + B
40 PRINT "Sum: "; C
```

Here we simply take two numbers as input, add them together, and print
the result - the closest high-level equivalent to our assembly and
bytecode examples. It's crucial to note that the gap between high- and
low-level languages can be vast, and direct 1-to-1 translations aren’t
typically possible without losing or changing some specific details or
functionalities.
