Compiler Design
The Compiler Design Exam lets you test how well you can turn source code into executable code using common compiler design methods. It covers the main stages of compiler construction, from tokenising input to generating optimized machine code. Use this exam to find your strengths, identify areas to improve and build confidence before exams or technical interviews.
