INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROORKEE

CSN-352: Compiler Design

Lecture 1: Introduction

Dr. Sudip Roy (a.k.a., SR)


Department of Computer Science & Engineering
Course Information:
• This is a course of Four (4) credit. It consists of Three (3) lecture hours
per week and One (1) hour tutorial.

• To introduce students to the techniques used in designing and writing


compilers. There will be coding projects for in-depth understanding of the
techniques towards software development involving compilers and cross-
compilers.

• We will try to stick to the basic course outline as given in Syllabus but
may deviate a bit.

• Prerequisite: Nil

• Performance Evaluation: Class Work Sessional (CWS) = 25%, Mid-Term


Exam (MTE) = 25%, End-Term Exam (ETE) = 50%. CWS (25% marks)
will be computed by a weighted sum of different components.

Course Information:
• Three components of CWS (25% marks):
1. Tutorial Classes (TC):
a. Every week a Tutorial Sheet will be given on the topics covered in the lecture classes
in the previous week.
b. To be solved in tutorial class and weekly performances will be recorded.
c. These are not tests or quizzes. So, if you miss any tutorial class, then no
rescheduling is possible. On average your performances in all the tutorial classes will
be recorded and total weightage of this component will be ≤ 4%.
2. Coding Projects (CP):
a. There will be two coding projects in the whole semester. Some coding problems will
be given to be solved as homework. One will be based on your creative thinking.
b. A short report on using that software and solving that problem will be required to
submit.
c. Create a group of maximum of 3 members to complete these CPs.
2. Quizzes (QZ):
a. Quizzes will be conducted throughout the semester, which may be of “surprise
quizzes” nature.
b. To be solved during that class only.
a. CWS will be computed by a weighted sum of different components like (TC, CP and QZ).

What is a Compiler?

• A program that reads a program written in one language and


translates it into another language.

Source language Target language

• Traditionally, compilers go from high-level languages to low-


level languages.
