• Denotational Semantics (30% – 45%)
  • Semantic functions
  • Semantics evaluation


• Operational Semantics (30% – 45%)
  • Reduction rules
  • Program reduction


• Programming Language Surveys (20% – 30%)
  • Straightforward
  • If programming questions are given, the knowledge learned from the slides and programming exercise will be enough.
