| Requisites: |
|
| Learning Outcomes: |
By the end of the unit, you will be able to:
- write programs in a typed functional programming language,
- write programs in a high-level imperative programming language,
- use imperative control structures and 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 two high-level computer programming styles, functional and imperative. You will learn about fundamental programming concepts such as data structures, loops, recursion, and types. No programming background is assumed.
|
| Content: | Typical topics include:
programming in a functional language such as Haskell,
programming in a high-level imperative language such as Python,
imperative and functional program control structures including conditionals, loops, 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.
