|
| Learning Outcomes: |
By the end of the unit, you will be able to:
- write programs in a typed functional programming language,
- use recursion,
- use basic inductive data structures and algorithms,
- use basic higher-order programming constructs,
- apply basic debugging and testing methods,
- evaluate the complexity of given algorithms in basic terms.
|
| Synopsis: | You will write programs in a high-level functional computer programming style. You will learn about fundamental programming concepts such as recursion, inductive data structures, and types. No programming background is assumed.
|
| Content: | Typical topics include: programming in a high-level typed functional language such as Haskell; functional control structures including conditionals, recursion, and higher-order functions; inductive data structures such as lists and trees, and basic algorithms operating on them; basic higher-order functions over inductive data such as maps and folds; an introduction to the use and purpose of types in programming; basic testing and debugging methods; basic complexity analysis of algorithms.
