Is there a shell for quickly experimenting in C?

Question

I'm not looking for csh, I'm looking for a shell for C similar to the Python or the Scala shells.

I understand that C is a compiled language, but is there anything out there that would let me quickly play around with things so I can e.g. better learn how pointers work? It should at least be theoretically possible to do this, wondering if anyone has taken the time to implement it.

@EOF how do I setup a GDB session to just interactively run C code? — Naftuli Kay, Feb 26 '16 at 20:32

As you well know that C is a compiled language. It is better to write C code than compile it, do some breakpoints, learn what value is in memory, where the pointer points etc.

But I think you mean this. Is there an interpreter for C?
