Teaching semester

Objectives and Content

A functional program consists of definitions of functions and its effect is determined by the input-output behaviour of these functions. Functional programming is the central example of the declarative paradigm, where program, in addition to its operational interpretation, has also a dual one: as a formula with static meaning independent from the transitions between program states. Execution of a program corresponds then to this declarative interpretation and this facilitates development and maintenance of correct software. The course introduces basic concepts from the functional paradigm through programming in a functional language (e.g., Haskell).

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the course the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge
The student knows:

  • the constructs of an example functional language


    • Skills
    The student can:


    General competence
    The student:

    Required Previous Knowledge

    Recommended Previous Knowledge

    It is an advantage to know some imperative language, e.g., from INF100 or INF109.
