COMP3258 Functional programming [Section 2A, 2024]
Course category2024-25
The course teaches the basics of functional programming using the language Haskell. The main goal is to introduce students to fundamental programming concepts such as recursion, abstraction, lambda expressions and higher-order functions and data types. The course will also study the mathematical reasoning involved in the design of functional programs and techniques for proving the properties of functions so defined. With the adoption of lambda expressions, recent versions of Java, C++ or C#, functional programming and related programming techniques are becoming increasingly more relevant even for programmers of languages that are not traditionally viewed as functional. This course is important to introduce students to such techniques.
