Description
Section information text: A continuation of CSCI 180 - Automata Theory . It uses the automata and grammars introduced in CSCI 180 to design translators (compilers) for programming languages. Topics include lexical analysis, top-down parsing, bottom-up parsing, syntax-directed translation, type checking, run-time environment, code generation and an introduction to code optimization. A typical term project is to write a compiler for a simple programming language such as a subset of C or Pascal.
