The primary objective of the unit project is to have the students explore a programming language concept or problem in greater depth than is possible with the standard lecture and machine problems.

Those of you who are signed up for 4 units of credit for CS 421 will need to complete the unit project. The unit project is broken out in a series of at least four, but no more than five PrairieLearn assignments exploring different aspects of implementing an interpreter for a small imperative programming language I am calling Cmm (for C minus minus) that is essentially a fragment of the C programming language.

Assignments will be given after similar material has been covered in class. These assignments will be referred to by the abbreviated name GA (for graduate assignment). All GA asignments are due at the end of the final grading period.
