Presentation Transcript

  1. ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING Graham Hutton University of Nottingham

  2. Prerequisites In order to take this module you must already have completed G51PGP Programming Paradigms. 1

  3. Lectures • Mondays, 17.00 – 18.00, LT1 (Exchange); • Thursdays, 13.00 – 14.00, LT1 (Exchange). Practicals • Tuesdays, 16.00 – 18.00, A32 (Comp Sci). 2

  4. Lecture Notes • Lectures will mostly be given at the whiteboard, and you are expected to take your own notes. • Some extra material will also be provided. 3

  5. Textbook There is no formal textbook for the module, but the following will be useful for background reading, and some material from the later chapters is covered: 4

  6. Assessment • Two programming courseworks (10% + 15%); • One 2-hour written examination (75%). Exercises In addition to the coursworks, most lectures have a number of informal (non-assessed) exercises.

  7. This Module • Functional languages represent the leading edge of programming language design, and the primary setting in which new programming concepts are introduced and studied. • This module builds upon G51PGP by focussing on number of more advanced topics in the area of functional programming, including aspects of recent and current research.

  8. The precise topics covered will vary from year to year, but will include topics such as: • Programming with effects; • Reasoning about programs; • Improving program efficiency; • Recent and ongoing research. We will begin with extended example to refresh your Haskell knowledge: solving Sudoku.
