Automata Theory and Compiler Design: A Foundational Guide to Automata Theory Concepts and Compiler Design Techniques for Computer Science Learners | Dr. Manjula Poojary, Dr. Hima Keerthi Penumatsa, Dr. Riju Bhattacharya, Dr. Yogesh Kumar Rathore | AGPH BooksAutomata Theory and Compiler Design is a clear and concept driven guide developed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer science, information technology, and engineering programs. The book recognises the importance of building strong theoretical understanding alongside practical application and therefore presents the subject in a structured and learner friendly manner. First, the book introduces the fundamental concepts of automata theory, including finite automata, regular expressions, and context free grammars. It then explains pushdown automata and Turing machines, helping readers develop a solid foundation in language recognition and the limits of computation. Next, the text moves into compiler design, explaining each phase of the compiler in a logical and step by step sequence. Topics such as lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, intermediate code generation, and code optimisation are presented with clarity and simplicity, enabling students to understand how theoretical models are applied in real compiler construction. Moreover, the book discusses practical tools such as LEX and YACC with relevant examples. Solved problems, diagrams, and systematic explanations help learners connect abstract theory with practical implementation. Finally, Automata Theory and Compiler Design serves both as a textbook and a dependable reference. It equips students with the knowledge and confidence required to master automata theory and compiler construction for academic study, examinations, and real world applications. |
