CSCI 230 - Compiler Design

Type of Course: Lecture, Laboratory
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.

Prerequisites: Prerequisites for this course require a grade of C- or better. CSCI 160  and CSCI 180 .
