About the course
A compiler translates a computer program from a high level language, such as C or Java, to machine code, the internal representation in the computer.
Compilation takes several steps. The first step is lexical analysis, to separate the program into "words". Syntactic analysis finds the structures. Code generation is often done in two steps, via an intermediate code to machine code. Often the code is improved through code optimisation.
The methods and tools from compiler design are useful for other forms of translation, for example from XML to a data structure.
