Is compiler design theory subject?
Building a successful compiler requires expertise in algorithms, engineering, and planning.
Good compilers approximate the solutions to hard problems.
They emphasize efficiency, in their own implementations and in the code they generate..
Is compilers an important class?
Definitely It may not be a topic you would use daily like a databases class for example, understanding compilers will give you a great foundation.
A similar example would be an Operating Systems class..
What is the theory of compiler?
Compiler design is a subject which many believe to be fundamental and vital to computer science..
Where can I study compilers?
The Compiler
Conceptually, a compiler operates in phases, each of which transforms the source program from one representation to another.
Often, some of the phases may be grouped together and the intermediate representation between the grouped phases need not be explicitly constructed..
