Course Objectives: |
The students will have basic understanding of some of the fundamental concepts that underlie programming language syntax and semantics through a comparative study of several languages and their features. The students will be aware of several new programming language features and paradigms to gain the ability to study general conceptual linguistic issues of designing new languages and compilers. |
Course Content: |
The course content is composed of describing syntax and semantics, names, bindings, type checking and scopes,
data types, expressions and assignment statements, control structures, subprograms, abstract data types,
object-oriented programming, functional programming, logic programming, exception handling and event handling |
