Course contents : Using a simple, pedagogical example language called "Jay", we study how computer programming languages work. We look at the entire chain, from writing the text of the code up to the execution of machine instructions on the computer hardware. To explore the theoretical concepts taught in class, the students design their own simple programming language, and implement a parser, an interpreter and a compiler.

Content:
  • Object-oriented programming in C++
  • Lexical, syntactical and semantic specification and analysis
  • Memory management and exception handling
  • Interpretation
  • Assembler code generation
  • Assembly, linking, loading, execution
