Assignments

You will implement a compiler for a simple Java-like language. Specifically, you will build various components of a compiler such as:
1. Lexer and Parser (using ANTLR)
2. AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) builder (using Eclipse JDT)
3. Type Checker
4. Bytecode generator
5. Code optimization/analysis tool (tentative)

Assignment Policy

No late submission is allowed.
No plagiarism is allowed. Anyone who violates the policy will receive 0 points for the entire assignment.
