Course Description
(From the Syllabus:)
"The goal of this course is to provide a foundation for understanding, designing, and
implementing programming languages. In this course we will study essential concepts and structures found
in modern programming languages. We will not focus on any one particular language, but rather
we will examine features found in many different languages.
We will also compare different programming paradigms, including imperative,
functional, logic, and object-oriented. We will study the specification of
programming language syntax and semantics, and the verification of program properties."

Homework #3: Due by July 9, 2025 (Specific questions for each chapter can be found at the end of lecture note 8, 11, and 12)
- Chapter 8 Problems in the text book
- Chapter 9, 10 Problems (refer lecture note for specific questions)
- Chapter 10 Problems in the text book
- 10.8: Pascal allows gotos with nonlocal targets. How could such statements be handled if static chains were used for
nonlocal variable access?
- 10.9: The static-chain method could be expanded slightly by using two static links in each activation record instance
where the second points to the static grandparent activation record instance. How would this approach affect the time required
for subprogram linkage and nonlocal references?
Due by July 6, 2025: Selected problems from Chapter 5, 6, and 7
