Programming Language Theory

• 39 hrs lectures

• 100 pts final exam

The ability to define formally and th use the definition of the programming language semantic. To have an overview over the code generation for modern processors.

To obtain wide knowledge especially of the semantic and translation of programming language.  To focus to possibility of a formal definition of the syntax and semantic of programming languages.
