An introduction to the design and implementation of high-level programming language translators and compilers. It will open with a discussion of translators related to compilers, followed by an overview of the phases and data structures involved in compilation. Topics including lexical analysis, parsing techniques, symbol tables, run-time storage allocation, semantic routines, code generation, and optimization will then be covered with a series of projects assigned to illustrate practical issues. 

At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to:

• know how programming languages are processed by the compilers;
• understand the fundamental techniques of language implementation; and,
• understand compiler construction as a systematic combination of algorithms, theories and software engineering methods for the solution of a specified task.
