Lab Assignments:
Each lab class starts with an introduction by the instructor giving you a distinct assignment for each class. Because of this format, it is usually difficult for a student to catch up, if he or she has missed one of the lab sessions. There are however three different time slots available for the lab. If you have to miss a lab class, let me know early, probably I can assign you to a different time slot.
The final goal is to develop your own language and your own compiler for Turtle Graphics. For more details on the Lab assignment read this page on "A Programming Language for Turtle Graphics.
Some Remarks on Turtle Graphic
Turtle graphic was originally part of the programming language LOGO, a programming language designed for children. Recently this idea led Microsoft to implement the Turtle App, a Windows app that lets kids drag and drop commands to create their own turtle programs. Check it out!An Introduction (in Deutsch) can be found on the Code your Life: TurtleCoder site. You will find there also the TurtleCoder as a Web-App
A big collection of possible turtle programs with an image gallery is found at the Turtle Art site. You find more information on turtle graphic on wikipedia
Lab attendance certificate (Schein):
The lab attendance certificate (Schein) is a required prerequisite for taking the final exam. You obtain this certificate (in spite of the name) not just because you attended the lab sessions; to obtain it, you have to demonstrate your ability to use lex/flex and yacc/bison to write and modify your compiler.While you will write - during the lab sessions - your own compiler, it is a misunderstanding to believe that the lab certificate is granted based on the compiler you wrote. It is based on what you learned while you wrote it! In practice, I will look at the compiler you wrote and give you a small challenge, like "how about adding feature ... to your compiler?" From what you do to implement the new feature, I can tell what you have learned.
Symboltable:
An implementation of the symbol table is found in the files: symtab.h and symtab.c.
