Introduction
to
Programming
Languages
• A programming language is a formal system
of communication used to instruct a
computer.

• Compiler Design involves translating high-


level language into machine code for
execution.

• Programming languages form the input to


the compiler, making their structure crucial
in compilation.
Classification of Programming Languages

Low-Level Languages:
• Machine Language: Binary representation, directly executed by hardware.
• Assembly Language: Uses mnemonics; requires an assembler.

High-Level Languages:
• Example: C, Java, Python
• Abstracts hardware details, easier for humans to write.

Middle-Level Languages:
• Example: C, C++
• Balance between hardware control and abstraction.

Syntax and
Semantics of
Programming
Languages
• Syntax: Defi nes the structure and rules of
the language.
• Example: Grammar, tokens, parsing rules.

• Semantics: Defi nes the meaning of


programs written in the language.
• Example: What a statement or expression
does.

Example:
• Syntax: int x = 10; (Correct syntax)
• Semantics: Assigns value 10 to x.
Role of
Programming
Languages in
Compiler Design
• Lexical Analysis: Tokenization of
source code.
• Syntax Analysis: Checking the
structure of the code.
• Semantic Analysis: Ensuring correct
meaning.
• Intermediate Code Generation:
Converts source code to an
intermediate representation.
• Optimization: Improves code
efficiency.
• Code Generation: Produces machine
code.
