PROGRAMMING & LANGUAGE COURSE IN RAWALPINDI IN RAWALPINDI

introduction to the design and implementation of programming languages. From the design point of view, we will study language features as tools for expressing algorithms. From the implementation point of view, we will study compilers, interpreters, and virtual machines as tools to map those features efficiently onto modern computer hardware. The course will touch on a wide variety of languages, both past and present, with an emphasis on modern imperative languages, such as C++ and Java, and, to a lesser extent, on functional languages such as Scheme and ML, and scripting languages such as Perl, Python, and Ruby. Rather than dwell on the features of any particular language, we will focus instead on fundamental concepts, and on the differences between languages, the reasons for those differences, and the implications those differences have for language implementation.  Topics to be covered in CSC 2/454 include:  formal aspects of syntax and semantics naming, scoping, and binding scanning, parsing, semantic analysis, and code generation control flow, subroutines, exception handling, and concurrency type systems, data structures, data abstraction, and storage management imperative, functional, logic-based, and object-oriented programming paradigms programming environments and tools from Sep 2nd
