Course Description
The ability to translate human-readable code into efficient machine instructions is a cornerstone of software development, enabling the creation of everything from operating systems to application software. Understanding compiler design is crucial for computer scientists and engineers to optimize program performance, enhance language features, and support new programming paradigms. In this course, students will not only learn the theoretical foundations and practical skills needed to construct compilers but also appreciate the impact of compiler technology on modern computing. This course introduces the fundamental concepts of compiler design, including lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, code generation, and optimization. Students will explore the theory and practical techniques used to construct compilers for high-level programming languages.
