Techniques of Parsing and Translation

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to: explain and apply principles of parsing and compiling appropriate to specific computing problems; identify and define the parsing and compiling requirements in solving a computing problem; apply current techniques, skills, and tools in parsing and translation to produce innovative computing practices.

Topics

This course provides an introduction to the design and implementation of computer languages, front-end processes of the compiler or interpreter, and back-end processes of interpreter using student selected domain as the course term project. Major topics that will be covered in the course include: Programming languages as context-free language, Lexical Analysis, Syntactic Analysis, Type checking, Symbol table, and Syntax-directed translation
