The aim of semantic descriptions is to give an exact definition of the implication of a programming language without uncertainties or ambiguities. This is useful when you need a precise understanding of how a programming language works, e.g. when designing programming languages, when constructing programs that use other programs as data, e.g. compilers, but also for programmers for reference. Different semantic methods and their use are examined with a special focus on operational semantics.
Entry requirements
60 credits in mathematics and computer science, including Algebra I, Logic and Proof Techniques I, a second programming course and programming in at least one functional and one imperative language.
Education offerings
Each offering has its own dates and conditions. Closed offerings are retained as history and do not mean that a new application is open.
