Programming Languages

This document outlines the course structure for a programming languages course taught over 52 hours across 8 units. The course covers topics such as language design, compilation and interpretation, names and scope, control flow, data types including records, variants, arrays, strings and pointers. It also covers subroutines and control abstraction including parameter passing and exceptions. Later units cover control abstraction, data abstraction, object orientation, functional languages, logic languages and scripting languages. Evaluation is based on internal assessment for 25 marks and an exam for 100 marks.
