This is the web site for the Fall 2013 offering of CMSC 331 section 03 (MW 4:00pm). Other sections are 01 and 02.

CMSC 331 examines the theory, design and implementation of programming languages and provides students with an introduction to programming languages that are likely to be new to them. Topics include specifications of syntax and semantics, declarations, binding, allocation, data structures, data types, control structures, control and data flow, concurrency, and the implementation and execution of programs. The major language paradigms will be described and explored, including imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic programming, concurrent and others. Programming projects will provide experience in several languages. Prerequisites: You must have completed CMSC 202 and CMSC 203 with a grade of C or better.
