Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simple syntax-directed translation scheme for a statement 'if (x > y) { z = x; }'. Determine how the attributes should be handled.
💡 Hint: Consider both the flow of attributes and how conditions affect the execution of statements.
Discuss a scenario where both synthesized and inherited attributes are used in the same expression. Illustrate this with a relevant example.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how both types of attributes work together in a composite structure.
