For a NET exam focused on compiler design, you should cover the following key topics:

1. **Introduction to Compilers**

- Definition and phases of a compiler

- Compilation vs. interpretation

2. **Lexical Analysis**

- Role of the lexical analyzer

- Finite automata and regular expressions

- Token, lexemes, and patterns

- Lexical analysis tools (e.g., Lex, Flex)

3. **Syntax Analysis**

- Context-free grammars (CFG)

- Parsing techniques (top-down and bottom-up)

- Parsing algorithms (LL, LR, SLR, LALR)

- Syntax trees and abstract syntax trees (AST)

4. **Semantic Analysis**

- Scope and binding

- Type checking

- Symbol tables

- Semantic errors

5. **Intermediate Code Generation**

- Three-address code

- Intermediate representations (IR)

- Control flow graphs (CFG)

6. **Code Optimization**

- Types of optimizations (local, global, loop optimization)

- Optimization techniques (constant folding, dead code elimination)

7. **Code Generation**

- Target machine architecture

- Instruction selection

- Register allocation and instruction scheduling


8. **Code Optimization Techniques**

- Peephole optimization

- Instruction scheduling

- Loop optimizations

9. **Runtime Environment**

- Stack vs. heap memory management

- Activation records and function calls

- Dynamic memory allocation

10. **Error Handling**

- Types of errors (lexical, syntactic, semantic)

- Error recovery strategies

11. **Compilers for Specific Languages**

- Examples of compilers for languages like C, Java, Python

12. **Tools and Technologies**

- Overview of compiler construction tools (Yacc, Bison, ANTLR)

- Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)

13. **Modern Compiler Design**

- Just-in-time compilation (JIT)

- Ahead-of-time compilation (AOT)

- Compilers for parallel and distributed systems

Focusing on these areas will help you prepare effectively for the NET exam in compiler design. Good
luck!
