Description

This unit engages the students in the exploration of the theoretical, practical and evolutionary characteristics of programming languages using various operational paradigms.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass 1 unit from CSP2104, CSP2343, CSP3241, CSP3242

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Describe the implementation of programming language constructs including data types, sequence control and data control.
  2. Describe the implementation of programming languages including the processes included in translation/compilation, binding and scoping, the virtual computer, software simulation of hardware and memory management.
  3. Learn and follow, new developments in programming language design resulting from computer science research.
  4. Use any programming language with greater understanding of its semantics and implementation, effectiveness and efficiency.
  5. Work in terms of abstract programming constructs with an awareness of their semantics and the limitations imposed by implementation.

Unit Content

  1. Abstract data types, encapsulation and object-oriented programming.
  2. Concurrency.
  3. Describing syntax and semantics.
  4. Exception and event handling.
  5. Expressions, assignment statements and control structures.
  6. History, evolution and design of programming languages.
  7. Lexical and Syntax Analysis.
  8. Names, Bindings, Type Checking and Scope.
  9. Primitive, structured and programmer-defined data types.
  10. Subprograms.

Academic Misconduct

Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • plagiarism;
  • unauthorised collaboration;
  • cheating in examinations;
  • theft of other students' work;

Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
