CST 320 Compiler Methods Dr. Sherry Yang PV 171 (541)

2 Course Description ä This course is designed to introduce the basic concepts of compiler design and operation. Topics include lexical and syntactical analysis, parsing, translation, semantic processing and code generation. In addition, students will implement a small compiler using development tools, lex and yacc. ä We might use other tools (Boost Spirit, Phoenix (Microsoft), Pargen, etc.)

5 Evaluation Methods The final grade, which may range from A to F, is determined by a composite evaluation of the student's performance in: 2 Tests40% Labs, Homework & Project55% † In-Class Exercises (Attendance)5%

6 Grading Your grade will be calculated as follows:* 92%+ = A 83%+ = B 70%+ = C 60%+ = D 59%- = F * Class participation will be considered in evaluating "borderline" grades. † You must complete all labs and project in order to get a grade for the class. Incompletes will be given if you failed to turn in all labs and project. The highest grade that you can receive for the class once the incomplete has been removed is a B.
