Learning Outcomes
Student is able to explain general principles, paradigms and basic concepts of programming languages at a higher level than that of a single programming language. Student understands the effects of these principles to language implementation and use, and is able to choose a suitable programming language for his purposes.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Phases of translation: lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantical analysis | Expressing lexems using regular expressions and syntax using BNF. | Attribute grammars, LL and LR parsing |
| 2. | Object models and other implementation choices and implementation principles of the most common programming language features. | Detailed implementation of some features in a certain programming language. | |
| 3. | Principles of memory management, e.g., the content and importance of activation records. | Implementation of activation records in a certain computer architecture. | |
| 4. | Basic knowledge of different programming paradigms. Understanding programs written in different paradigms (functional, logic, concurrent, scripting, object-oriented). | Writing small programs in different programming paradigms. | Writing real programs in a certain paradigm other than the most common ones. The basics of monads in Haskell. |
| 5. | Type systems. Differences between static and dynamic typing. | Type inference. How static/dynamic typing affects other aspects of a programming language. | Genericity and type systems. Higher order types and type classes in Haskell. |
