Module 3: Imperative Programming Languages – Memory Allocation

NOTE: For these courses  and all of the work for DCS904 these are Computer Science courses so you have to add more images, algorithms, graphs, images, mathematical analysis and statistical details more than textual observations. Writing a paper is god but if you don't add these to all of the work then she wont give me full credit. Please use the text book and additional resources I have provided. You can use my login credentials.

MODULE 3: DISCUSSION DUE

DATE MAY 1ST

The topic of discussion for this week is:

Discuss the terms compile-time, run-time, static and dynamic.

Suggestions to maximize effort:

1.     Discuss what compile-time is; give examples.

2.     Discuss what run-time is; give examples.

3.     Discuss the difference between compile time and run time.

4.     Discuss what static refers to; give examples.

5.     Discuss what dynamic refers to; give examples.

6.     Discuss the difference between static and dynamic.

The discussion coverage should be relating to compiler design. It is important to go beyond general definitions of these terms, and explore the implementation in terms of how compilers can be designed to handle these topics. Please provide examples and label the examples if needed (i.e. Example #1, Example #2, and so on) Please be as detailed and as thorough as possible. Discuss in a scholarly manner. Visualizations of compiler components would always help. Minimal of 6 paragraphs are required. Each paragraph should have at least 5-10 sentences.

MODULE 3: ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Here are some optional materials that hopefully can offer some thoughts. You are encouraged to go above and beyond and research other course-related information that may interest you. Please feel free to share your findings with the class during discussion.

Module 3: Discussion Question

Start by reading and following these instructions:

You are responsible for minimally at least 3 posts for each question in your discussion boards; your initial post and reply to two of your classmates. Your initial post(s) should be your response to the questions posed in the discussion question. You should research your answer and cite at least one scholarly source when appropriate, and always use quality writing. The discussion board is never a place to use text language or emoticons. You will also be asked to respond to your classmates. This is designed to enhance the academic discussion around the topic. It is all right to disagree with something posted by another, however your responses should always be thoughtful and respectful and reflect your opinions professionally.

Discussion Question:

Discuss the terms compile-time, run-time, static and dynamic.
