CSCI 412 - Compiler Design

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites: CSCI 223 and CSCI 305
This course explores the basic principles, algorithms, data structures, and tools involved in the design and construction of compilers. Topics include formal grammars, lexical analysis, parsing algorithms, semantic analysis, error recovery, code generation, and optimization. Each student will be required to complete a substantial programming project, the implementation of a compiler for a small programming language.
