The definition and classification of formal grammars. A discussion of regular and context-free grammars with their relationships to automata. Precedence, operator precedence, LR(k) and LALR(k) grammars with their associated syntactic analyzers, symbol table techniques, intermediate forms of source programs, run-time organization, code generation and optimization. Interpreters and their relation to the compilation process. Introduces translator writing systems and compiler-compilers. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours
