PROJECTS
A compiler translates (or compiles) a program written in a high-level

programming language that is suitable for human programmers into the low-level
machine language that is required by computers.
A lexical analysis stage that basically divides the input text into a list of “words”.
This is the initial part of reading and analyzing the program text: The text is read
and divided into tokens, each of which corresponds to a symbol in the
programming language, e.g., a variable name, keyword or number.
The next process will be a syntax analysis stage that analyses the way these
words form structures and converts the text into a data structure that reflects
the textual structure.
The following set of rules that define for the syntax:
1) All statements will end in a semicolon.
2) Whitespace is not significant, i.e. a+b is the same as a + b.
3) Comments begin with /* and end with */ and they can extend across multiple
lines.
4) The only keywords are var, input, and output. Their function is as follows:
var declares a new variable. All variables must be declared before they're
used.
input reads a variable from the console.
output displays the value of a variable on the console.
5) All variables are integers.
6) The only operations allowed are +, -, *, /, and =. Parentheses may be used to
force operation ordering.
7) Variable names may only consist of uppercase and lowercase letters,
underscores (_), and numbers. A variable name may not start with a number.
After the syntax analysis being performed the type checking, this phase analyses
the syntax tree to determine if the program violates certain consistency
requirements, e.g., if a variable is used but not declared or if it is used in a
context that does not make sense given the type of the variable, such as trying to
use a boolean value as a function pointer.
Design: invent a language, or a language fragment, for some particular purpose

or with some particular characteristic.
Modeling: try to formalize some interesting aspect of some existing language

Make sure that computations are sufficiently documented and supported
by theories and literatures.
Implementation: explore novel techniques for implementing a given language
