Design and Implementation of a Programming Language: YPC

Partners

• Paul Philip Mariduena
• Yael Sultan

Advisor

• Dr. Stephen Murrell

Goals

• Design a High-Level Language
• Easy to code
• Easy to understand
• Implement Features of most imperative and functional languages (e.g. Loops, conditionals)

Results

• It worked: Hooray for us! We got an A
• Can handle loops, conditionals, functions, basic math with ints
• Can handle a single scope of variable, stored a in a well-hashed symbol table that implements collision handling with chaining.
• Improvements: String handling, comments, local variable scope
• Local scope, could have been done as a stack of symbol tables (hashtables)
• Total Code: 4100 lines in 11 files
• More details to come as i have time to improve this page

Tools

• GNU C++ Compiler under windows - DEV C++ version 4
