Course Code: CEN 332 Course Name: PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

Level: Undergraduate Year: 3 Semester: 1 ECTS Credits: 5

Status: Elective Hours/Week: 2+2 Total Hours: 30+30
In this course, students will be taught about object-oriented, functional and logic programming languages, as well as hybrid
Course Description programming language. Furthermore, they will learn about syntax and semantics of programming languages, lexical analysis,
parsing and data types.
The objectives of this course are to develop a basic understanding of programming concepts and using these programming
concepts in multiple programming languages. Furthermore, we will provide the students with the tools necessary for the critical
Course Objectives evaluation of existing and future programming languages and prepare them for the study of compiler design. Additionally, we
will teach formal methods of describing the syntax and semantics of programming languages
