Programming Languages and Compilers

The course is a substitute for:

Programming Languages and Compilers (X36PJP)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Synopsis:

This course offers an overview of general features of programming languages and explanation of basic methods of language implementation. Design and programming of particular parts of compilers are supported by elements of the theory of grammars and automata. Simple programming language is designed and its compiler is written as an example.

Requirements:

Two tests and a semestral project. For more information see http://service.felk.cvut.cz/courses/XE36PJP

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Overview of programming languages, programming paradigms

2. Structure of a compiler, virtual computer

3. Finite state automata and their implementation

4. Design and implementation of lexical analyzer

5. Context free grammars and pushdown automata

6. LL(1) grammars

7. Recursive descent

8. Translation grammars and automata
