Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
Functional programming is omnipresent in the contemporary landscape of programming languages. At the end of this course, the students should be able to use the paradigm of functional programming, and understand its main characteristics. The students will have gained practical experience with the Scheme programming language and will be able to transfer their skills to other functional programming languages.
Content of UE
Functional programming is a software programming paradigm based on the notion of mathematical functions. In this course we will study:
- The history and state-of-the-art in functional programming.
- Lambda calculus, the formal foundation of functional programming.
- The control structures and data structures used in functional programming.
- The syntax and semantics of the Scheme programming language.
- The importance of functional programming in today's programming language landscape.
Prior Experience
Students should already have gained a basic knowledge about programming, and have had practical experience with at least one programming language.
