A compiler translates the code written in one language to some other language without changing the meaning of the program. It is also expected that a compiler should make the target code efficient and optimized in terms of time and space. Compiler Design is a one-semester module taken by third year Integrated Computer Science students studying tools designed for writers of compilers and interpreters which are also useful for many other applications. The course is relevant for any application that looks for patterns in its input or has an input or command language.
