I'm only taking one class this semester: CS 330 -- Concepts of Programming Languages. It is a good class to take. I'm feeling like it encourages me to work harder to understand these ideas and practices in computer science. We're currently learning Lex and Yacc which are tools allowing us to write, among many other things, our own programming applications. That is so cool.

May the Fourth
Yesterday some clever people here put on a fun May the Fourth star wars party. I really enjoyed going to it, talking to people, watching star wars, eating chips and m&m's... just having fun really. I hadn't ever heard of / realized that May 4th is star wars day. I certainly agree with and endorse it though.

Who comes up with the name Lex and Yacc?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the upper level classes. I knew someday you'd be CS. Even though you told me no many times ;)
Lex is a Lexical Analyzer. Yacc is an acronym for "Yet Another Compiler Compiler."
