ME CSE - SEMESTER 2

OBJECTIVES:
  • To understand and describe syntax and semantics of programming languages.
  • To understand Data, Data types, and Bindings.
  • To learn the concepts of functional and logical programming.
  • To explore the knowledge about concurrent Programming paradigms.

UNIT I ELEMENTS OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
Reasons for studying, concepts of programming languages, Language Evaluation Criteria, influences on Language design, Language categories. Programming Language Implementation – Compilation, Hybrid Implementation, Pure Interpretation and Virtual Machines. Describing Syntax and Semantics -Introduction - The General Problem of Describing Syntax-Formal Methods of Describing Syntax - Attribute Grammars - Describing the Meanings of Programs: Dynamic Semantics.

UNIT II DATA TYPES-ABSTRACTION
Introduction - Primitive Data Types- Character String Types- User-Defined Ordinal Types- Array types- Associative Arrays-Record Types- Tuple Types-List Types -Union Types - Pointer and Reference Types -Type Checking- Strong Typing -Type Equivalence - Theory and Data Types-Variables-The Concept of Binding -Scope - Scope and Lifetime - Referencing Environments - Named Constants- The Concept of Abstraction- Parameterized Abstract Data Types- Encapsulation Constructs- Naming Encapsulations

UNIT III FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
Introduction- Mathematical Functions- Fundamentals of Functional Programming Languages- The First Functional Programming Language: LISP- An Introduction to Scheme- Common LISP- Haskell-F# - ML : Implicit Types- Data Types- Exception Handling in ML. Functional Programming with Lists- Scheme, a Dialect of Lisp- The Structure of Lists- List Manipulation- A Motivating Example: Differentiation- Simplification of Expressions- Storage Allocation for Lists.

UNIT IV LOGIC PROGRAMMING

Relational Logic Programming- Syntax- Basics- Facts- Rules- Syntax- Operational Semantics- Relational logic programs and SQL operations- Logic Programming- Syntax- Operational semantics- Data Structures-Meta-tools: Backtracking optimization (cuts); Unify; Meta-circular interpreters- The Origins of Prolog- Elements- of Prolog-Deficiencies of Prolog- Applications of Logic Programming.

UNIT V CONCURRENT PROGRAMMING

Parallelism in Hardware- Streams: Implicit Synchronization-Concurrency as Interleaving- Liveness Properties- Safe Access to Shared Data- Concurrency in Ada- Synchronized Access to Shared Variables- Synthesized Attributes- Attribute Grammars- Natural Semantics- Denotational Semantics -A Calculator in Scheme-Lexically Scoped Lambda Expressions- An Interpreter-Recursive Functions.

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:

Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to
  • Describe syntax and semantics of programming languages
  • Explain data, data types, and basic statements of programming languages
  • Design and implement subprogram constructs, Apply object - oriented, concurrency, pro and event handling programming constructs
  • Develop programs in LISP, ML, and Prolog.
